U.S. Vice President’s remarks come amid allegations from Israel’s critics that claims of sexual and gender-based violence were either fabricated or exaggerated in order to provide justification for its military response in Gaza
Speaking at an event dedicated to raising awareness on conflict-related sexual violence, including the airing of Sheryl Sandberg’s “Screams Before Silence” documentary, “On October 7, Hamas committed horrific acts of sexual violence,” Harris said.
Her remarks come amid steady criticism from Israel’s critics on the left that claims of sexual and gender-based violence were either fabricated or exaggerated in order to provide justification for its military response in Gaza following October 7.
“In the days after October 7, I saw images of bloodied Israeli women abducted,” she continued. “Hamas committed rape and gang rape at the Nova music festival, and women’s bodies were found naked from the waist down, hands tied behind their back and shot in the head.”
Not like it’s some easily ignorable thing like an 8 month genocide…

Fuck these fascist assholes. This is what happens when we settle for a president that’s more loyal to a foreign country than America.
The consent must be manufactured! We will find evidence of those WMD’s after Hamas is destroyed!
There’s evidence Hamas killed and violently abducted people on Oct. 7. Are you saying rape is required to respond?
It isn’t, but even if it were there is direct evidence that Hamas raped a hostage.
This is a lie
“I just met with Amit, a survivor who has bravely come forward with her account of sexual violence while she was held captive by Hamas,” Harris said.
Sexual violence is not always rape. Though there is a push now to redefine rape as sexual violence since all the false rape accusations have now been disproven. The Biden administration is glad that you still interpret it as the same. That is their intention.
This woman has publicly stated she was not raped. You can open google and just look it up.
Sexual violence is not always rape.
JFC, this sounds like something the Catholic Church would say after another priest is caught fondling little boys.
As far as I’m concerned, sexual assault means rape. As far as I’m concerned, anyone who does this is a rapist:
the guard, who called himself Muhammad, put a gun to her forehead, beat her and dragged her to a child’s bedroom. “Then he, with the gun pointed at me, forced me to commit a sexual act on him”
When did you decide Hamas members are so moral or well disciplined that they would never rape an Israeli?
