'A trauma upon a trauma': Denial of Oct. 7 sexual violence haunts local survivors

[Behind the Aegis]

Jan Reicher could feel the hatred when she spoke against a cease-fire resolution at two turbulent meetings of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors earlier this month.

Among the hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists on hand were just a handful of Israel supporters. Zionist Jews were afraid to show up and speak publicly about the Israel-Hamas war, she said. And for good reason.

“We were called bitches when we spoke,” Reicher said. “We were jeered. We were booed.”

At one point, Supervisor Matt Dorsey mentioned the New York Times’ two-month investigation into how Hamas weaponized sexual violence against Israeli women on Oct. 7, and Palestinian supporters started yelling, “Lies!”

5. Happening all over the country.

People ripped up posters of children kidnapped by HAMAS and sneered in the faces of people who were putting them up.

Who does that?!

7. Terrorists

The psychological missiles are intentional and will be glorified by future terrorists. More, such depravity will be used to recruit the lowest humans to commit murder in the name of political causes.

9. In the early 1950s, when the Jordanian king ......

.....was trying to work out a resolution with Israel, a Palestinian radical assassinated him. No doubt he was spurred on by an Islamic cleric. Hard to have any problem solving when radicals on both sides sabotage any progress........also, murder of Rabin.

10. US Hamas supporters have never witnessed Islamic culture.

I grew up in Dhahran. I was forced to watch beheadings and public violence on a regular basis. A friend of mine had his head shaved with a knife because he had been disrespectful to a mullah. The president of the university was hauled away and tortured to death in prison.

These American supporters of Hamas have never seen the culture — just the propagandized US version. Their ignorance is startling.

14. Cease fire alone is pro-Hamas. Regroup, rearm, and continue their terrorism as they promise.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

15. Yes,

those calling for a cease fire without removing Hamas are, as Lenin so famously said, "useful idiots."
