Jayapal’s Silence on Hamas’ Sex Crimes
The refusal of Rep. Pramila Jayapal to unequivocally condemn Hamas’s use of sexual violence as a war tactic is baffling and concerning. Despite victims’ heart-wrenching tales and undeniable evidence, Jayapal, in her recent CNN interview, veered away from the issue at hand. This shirking of moral duty, alongside her comparative rhetoric on the Israel-Palestine conflict, disavows the unique ramifications of different geopolitical crises. As onlookers in this global landscape, clarity and an immediate, unambiguous condemnation of such war crimes are our collective expectation and demand.
