Here’s The Scoop
In a stunning display of moral blindness, Rep. Rashida Tlaib has chosen to ignore the horrific acts of sexual violence committed by Hamas terrorists during their attacks on Israel on October 7th.
The House recently passed a bipartisan resolution condemning these heinous acts, introduced by Rep. Lois Frankel, D-Fla., and endorsed by 200 co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle.
The resolution passed with an overwhelming majority of 418 to 0, sending a clear message that rape and sexual violence are crimes against humanity and should never be used or accepted as weapons of war.
It also calls on all nations to criminalize rape and sexual assault, and hold accountable all perpetrators of sexual violence, including state and non-state armed groups.
Rep. Frankel spoke passionately about the responsibility to address these difficult subjects and the atrocities committed by Hamas, which have largely been met with a shrug from many corners in the world.
The resolution reaffirms the United States Government’s support for independent, impartial investigations of rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas and its commitment to supporting survivors of rape and sexual violence.
Yet, Rep. Tlaib, in a disturbing display of partisanship, claims that the resolution “completely ignores and erases any sexual violence committed” by IDF forces, despite these claims being unsubstantiated.
This blatant disregard for the victims of Hamas’ brutality and the bipartisan effort to condemn these acts raises the question: Should Rep. Rashida Tlaib be expelled from her position?
It’s time for our elected officials to stand united against the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war, regardless of their political affiliations.
