Dana Bash: I wish to ask you about sexual violence, and it’s sort of outstanding that this difficulty hasn’t gotten sufficient consideration globally—widespread use of rape, brutal rape, sexual violence towards Israeli girls by Hamas. I’ve seen lots of progressive girls; usually talking, they’re fast to defend girls’s rights and converse out towards utilizing rape as a weapon of warfare however downright silent on what we noticed on October seventh and what could be occurring inside Gaza proper now to those hostages. Why is that?

And if they don’t adjust to worldwide humanitarian regulation, they’re bringing themselves to a spot that makes it far more troublesome, strategically, for them to have the ability to construct the sorts of allies to maintain public opinion with them.

Terrorist organizations like Hamas clearly are utilizing these as instruments. Nevertheless, I feel we have now to be balanced about bringing within the outrages towards Palestinians. 15,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli airstrikes, three-quarters of whom are girls and kids.

Bash: It’s horrible, however you don’t see Israeli troopers raping Palestinian girls.

Jayapal: Nicely, Dana, I feel we’re not we’re not… I don’t need this to be the hierarchy of oppressions.
