The best we can expect from Democrats

 Democrats working on resolution condemning Hamas’ use of sexual violence

"Two House Democrats are planning on introducing a resolution this week condemning Hamas’ use of sexual violence and rape against Israeli women in the wake of Progressive Caucus Chairwoman Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s comments to CNN’s Dana Bash that upset a number of her Democratic colleagues.

"While Jayapal condemned the rape of Israeli women by Hamas and called it “horrific” on CNN’s “State of the Union,” she pointed out that over 15,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza since the start of the war and said, “I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians.”

"Jayapal’s comments have set off a firestorm within the Congressional Progressive Caucus and speak to the broader divisions within the Democratic Party over how to address the war between Israel and Hamas. Her remarks come as Democrats have struggled to reconcile support for Israel’s right to defend itself in the wake of the October 7 attacks and rising protests, especially on the left, over the devastation in Gaza.

"Democratic Rep. Lois Frankel of Florida, who left the Progressive Caucus last month due to divisions within the group over the war, has begun drafting the resolution, a Democratic lawmaker familiar with the plans told CNN.

"A source familiar with Frankel’s thinking told CNN combating rape as a weapon of war is a long-standing priority for the congresswoman and the resolution was not drafted as a response to any comments made by other members.

"Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan, a member of the progressive group, told CNN’s Kasie Hunt on Monday she plans to introduce the resolution with Frankel this week and is going to talk to Jayapal about her comments.

“I’m going to talk to Pramila,” Dingell said on “State of the Race” on Monday. “I’m just going to speak for myself on this subject. And I’m raw on this subject because of the hate that I have had directed at me for speaking the truth. I will speak the truth.”

"A number of progressives in the caucus have raised concerns that Jayapal is speaking publicly in her capacity as chair when the group, which represents a broad spectrum of opinions, has not taken an official position on any of these complicated issues pertaining to the war, another Democratic lawmaker familiar with the conversations told CNN." . . .

‘A date which will live in infamy’ then and now - American Thinker  . . ."At a time when cowards (to be gentle) are demanding that the U.S. pressure Israel to agree to a ceasefire with their inhumane enemy in Gaza because Gazan civilians are suffering—because Hamas leaders intentionally turned civilian institutions such as hospitals and schools into military bases—this is an important lesson to remember. It is also important to remember that these same cowards (to be gentle) didn’t complain when Gazan leadership invaded and slaughtered Israeli civilians in hospitals, schools, homes, and a music festival.

"As in World War ll, as in the time of the Maccabees (the ancient Jewish leaders), the victory must be complete; the enemy totally defeated. Remade.

"The confluence of these two dates this year is an important reminder that never again is now.  No more dates of “infamy.”

"May the lights of Chanukah brighten and warm your days. And nights."

Stories of torture, torment revealed by Israeli children kidnapped by Hamas terrorists

 Stories of torture, torment revealed by Israeli children kidnapped by Hamas terrorists (foxnews.com)  "JERUSALEM - As more of the Israeli hostages kidnapped by Hamas during the Oct. 7 terror attack in southern Israel are freed as part of a U.S.-Qatari-Egyptian brokered cease-fire deal, stories of the horrors endured during their 50-plus days in captivity are slowly coming to light.

"'Instead of the usual chatter, crying and laughing typical in pediatric wards, Dr. Yael Mozer Glassberg, a senior physician in the Department of Returned Children at the Schneider Medical Center in Tel Aviv, who is part of the specially assembled team of professionals tasked with treating the returned hostages, told Fox News Digital, "It is very, very quiet here."

"Mozer Glassberg, who usually heads the hospital’s liver transplant unit, said so far, she and her team have worked with 22 of the freed hostages, including 15 children, in a specially created ward.

"I wanted to hope that he would have been treated well there, but apparently not… they’re monsters," said Cohen, adding that Yahalomi’s father, Ohad, is still a hostage.

"Yahalomi’s grandmother, Esther, told Israeli media outlets that "For the first 16 days, he was alone in a closed room."

"Imagine for yourselves what he went through there," she said, adding that he was later put together with a group of other hostages from his kibbutz.

"It was much easier for him there because his caregiver from the kibbutz nursery was there," the grandmother said, describing how he returned thinner and now refuses to smile.

"In another rare testimony, Thomas Hand, the father of 9-year-old Emily Hand, told a media outlet that his daughter, who was freed on Saturday, still speaks in whispers.

"The most shocking thing about meeting Emily was the fact that she spoke in whispers, to the point it was really hard to hear her," the father, a dual Israeli-Irish national, said. "I had to put my ear very close to her mouth to hear…. in captivity she was told not to make any noise and you can see the terror in her eyes." . . .

Israeli police say extreme sexual violence, rape by Hamas terrorists was systematic

At the army base where Israel identifies its dead: ‘They went from house to house burning family after family’

Speaking at Shura, Weisberg described in graphic detail how one badly charred body turned out to be two victims – a mother and a baby bound together in a deep embrace. Another victim, he said, was a pregnant woman, her stomach cut open, her fetus pulled out and beheaded. The umbilical cord was still attached.

Kill 'em all."

 HAMAS BARBARIANS shot Israeli female soldiers in the crotch and breasts as part of ‘systemic genital mutilation’ (barenakedislam.com)   "Some of the female victims of the attack on October 7 were left with agonized looks on their faces in death, according to an Israeli unit that helped bless the bodies. Army reservist Shari Mendes said many bodies of female victims, both civilian and soldiers, arrived ‘in bloody shredded rags or just in underwear." . . .

The Morning Briefing: Leftists Are OK With Rape Because Islamophobia – PJ Media

. . ."The West is now once again faced with the harsh reality that the Islamic terrorists are brutal to women here on Earth while on their way to fake pedo Allah paradise. Well, most of the West. There are people on the American Left who will go to great lengths to prop up an anti-Israel sentiment. Democrats are fearful of people who are fierce about their freedoms. They want everyone to yield to whatever woke-induced violence is visited upon them. The frontline of the pro-Palestinian crowd is found in Academia, of course. Highly-compensated academics are teaching impressionable young people that the Islamic terrorists are not the bad guys."

"At publishing time, Cosby had been seen wearing a green Hamas headband and walking into a bar with a baggie full of quaaludes."

Dems are done singing the praises of ‘Bidenomics

They are working as hard as they can to destroy the purchasing power of Americans with their green policies.

 Jack Hellner - American Thinker  . . ."Summary: Facts don’t matter to the media and other Democrats.  The only thing that matters is power for Democrats, no matter how destructive the policies are, especially to the poor and the middle class whom Democrats only pretend to care about. 

"It is also an attempt to mislead the public to call Democrats and their policies progressive.  Moving the country toward collapse is regressive, depressive, and oppressive, and that is what Democrats should be called. 

"Biden’s age is not the problem.  Stop trying to change the subject from his disastrous policies, which will continue no matter which Democrat is on the ballot." 

Does Joe Biden support the destruction of Israel? - American Thinker  . . ."If Israel is seduced by the double standard, it will prevent the IDF from waging an effective war on Hamas and ensure Hamas’s ultimate objective: the destruction of Israel.  “There’s no point in destroying Hamas a bit,” said Douglas Murray.  “The objective is to destroy Hamas.  Half destroying it isn’t good enough.”

"The Biden administration has adopted the U.N.’s position.  In effect, Biden wants Israel — not Hamas — to be destroyed."

BIDEN REGIME planning to stab Israel in the back (barenakedislam.com)

Why are we so not surprised? 

"Perhaps Trump was the only President who was truly on the side of Israel in a long while. Republican or Democrat, nobody truly stood by Israel even though they talk big in public. Both sides equally think that they can dictate terms to Israel and talk down to that great tiny nation in a condescending manner. Which is why I always believe that Israel should have its own foreign policy, independent of the United States. It is THEY who face the brunt of Islamic terror, and therefore it is they who need to take steps to ensure that incidents such as that of Oct 7 does not happen. F**k everybody else, their citizens lives come first."   Video

UPDATE: Law Prof Seems to Suggest Real Issue With Terrorists Raping Israeli Women Is Israel Fought Back – PJ Media   "If there's one thing I've learned from the horrific terrorist attacks that Hamas carried out against innocent civilians in Israel, it's that the world is full of awful, deplorable, and disgusting people, the vast majority of whom happen to fall on the left side of the political spectrum. I somewhat already believed this, but the pro-Palestinian crowd, which is really pro-Hamas, constantly shouting anti-Semitic slogans calling for the genocide of the Jews pretty much confirmed my suspicions." . . .

"I didn't think people could possibly be more gross than essentially being modern-day Nazis,

but then along comes Assistant Professor Heidi Matthews (right), a law professor for York University's Osgoode Law School. Matthews seemed to suggest that, while it was bad to see Hamas terrorists raping Jewish women, what's worse is that Israel used these horrific crimes to justify striking back at them. 

We truly do live in a clown world, folks. The Old Testament Scriptures say in Genesis 1:26-28 and Isaiah 5:20, "Woe to those that call evil good, and good evil," as a warning of God's judgment on those who would align themselves with wickedness and label it a good thing or refuse to condemn atrocious acts of sin. The left has made this their default stance concerning the conflict between Israel and Hamas." . . .

Between pretending the rape of Israeli women didn’t happen/is justified and being totally cool with mentally ill men invading women’s spaces/stealing their opportunities for athletic accomplishment, “feminism” is proving itself to be a literal joke.

AG Hamilton Brings ALL THE RECEIPTS for Ghouls Claiming Hamas DID NOT Rape Jewish Women on Oct. 7 –

 Twitchy

"It's really horrible that in this day and age, we have people who hate Israel and Jews SO MUCH that they're unwilling to believe that Hamas terrorists raped Jewish women on October 7. The same people who lectured us about 'believing women' don't believe Jewish women because of zionists or some other happy horse crap that allows them to keep on hating Israel.

"Honestly, we cover a lot of awful, vile, and even evil stuff, but watching so many on the Left insist the stories about Hamas raping Jewish women before murdering them are false? Fake? This is new ground even for us.

"AG Hamilton was good enough to bring some receipts for these disgusting people who keep demanding PROOF ... again, the same people who said we should believe women.

Making a silk purse from the crime-ridden rubble of 'anti-racism

Crime in Blue cities is off the charts because Soros-appointed district attorneys have banded together to excuse crime committed by Black perpetrators. This harms Black people first, then Black neighborhoods, Black aspirations and in itself is criminal.

 M.B. Mathews - American Thinker  "Much has been said by many trying to excuse bad behavior. Inner cities have crime because… racism. Blue cities are dirty and noisy because… racism. White flight happens because… racism. Black unwed motherhood is on the rise and has become epidemic because… racism. No other reasons are given by black leadership for the failures of blacks to thrive except for… racism.

"But racism does not account for these failures. Failure accounts for these failures: Failure to educate. Failure to instill a work ethic. Failure to be good and to do good. Failure to teach respect and good manners to young children. Failure to revere and promote healthy two-parent families. Failure to discourage sexual profligacy. Failure to demand excellence. Failure to reject profanity and embrace decency and honor. Instead, too many in the Black community have embraced the dysfunction within the Black culture with pride, claiming a unique historical experience that they say no one understands but other Black people.

"It has been long enough making excuses for Black failures and it is past time for the respectable Black people of America to rise up against the jealous race-baiters and say “No more.” There is nothing preventing Black success that a Judeo-Christian perspective cannot address successfully. Love your neighbor means don’t steal, don’t do the crime. Be nice to each other. Respect the property and lives of others. Be on time (terribly unfashionable among “anti-racists”), work hard (ditto), have a plan to succeed, and above all get educated at a school that does not indoctrinate but educates, which excludes most urban government schools. Unasked-for advice: Do not respect, honor, or adopt the malignant principles of those who teach anti-white racism in the guise of Critical Race Theory, Diversity-Equity-Inclusion, or “Anti-Racism” (anti-white racism with an oxymoronic name.)

After Hamas Attack, The Left Needs to Finally Wake Up

Michelle Obama's Response When Asked to Condemn Hamas' Rapes of Israeli Women Won't Shock You – RedState  "It appears the #MeToo movement is only adamant about fighting to protect women as long as they do not happen to be Israeli.

Sanity at the UN: Hillary Clinton, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Sheryl Sandberg Slam Hamas' Sexual Violence – RedState   . . ."While horror stories regarding the attack and the monstrous treatment of the hostages in the weeks since continue to emerge, a curious theme has accompanied them: the reluctance of certain women's groups and certain prominent women on the left to condemn these sexual atrocities. We've had a sitting congresswoman demure on the issue and insist that a "balanced approach" needs to be employed regarding the outrages. We've had a former First Lady, who famously championed the return of young girls kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014, reportedly remain mum on the matter of the women assaulted and held hostage by Hamas, even when asked to weigh in. The United Nations "UN Women" group initially remained silent on the matter, then belatedly tweeted a tepid, generic comment regarding it, weeks later got around to condemning Hamas on its Instagram account, and then, inexplicably backtracked on even that message. 

"And all of these lackluster responses from those who typically advocate on behalf of women come despite the overwhelming evidence of these atrocities and in the face of confirmation by the State Department that they not only happened but are part of the reason Hamas refuses to return some of the women held hostage." . . . 

When Hamas's hostages smile and wave, this is what's actually going on

When Hamas's hostages smile and wave, this is what's actually going on (msn.com)  . . ."Many watching the Avigdoris's apparently cheery farewell — and the other hostage videos for that matter — will be skeptical.

They were held captive for more than seven weeks.

Several members of their extended family, including Sharon's brother, were murdered when Hamas militants stormed Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7.

Despite this, the idea Sharon and Noam — surrounded by gun-toting insurgents — are smiling and waving of their own volition has gained traction.

"I think what really helps them [Hamas] propagate their message is the fact that there's a lot of mainstream media outlets that are willing to amplify it," says Ghaith al-Omari, who has previously held several positions within the Palestinian Authority (PA)." . . .

The True Evil of Hamas | The Caroline Glick Show In Focus - YouTube  "Everybody knows the hostages were forced to smile and wave goodbye to their tormentors. Deplorable."

"I have unwavering support for Israel and always have. This will not change. Early on after the massacre of Oct. 7th, I obviously loathed hamas but was on the fence about how to feel towards the Palestinian citizens. That completely changed when I saw a video one of them had uploaded to their social media page where the Palestinian women and children of gaza were spitting on, kicking, standing on the head of, laughing at and gleefully pointing their cell phone cameras at the nude, bloody body of a young Israeli woman that was kidnapped and then murdered in Gaza. Afterwards her body was dragged through the streets for the locals to desecrate. "I have ZERO support for the Palestinians. After what I saw with my own eyes, this also will not change. Barbaric, vile, demonic, purposefully evil- are just a few descriptives that come to mind. If I see or hear anyone having sympathy for them, I immediately share the true side that I saw of the Palestinians myself in an attempt to correct their mistaken sympathetic behavior."
