Lefty hypocrites only believe SOME women — the – Latest News
If you ever select to return ahead after changing into a sufferer of sexual assault, first make sure you’re the correct of sufferer.
Because on the subject of violence towards women, it was by no means about believing them — nearly believing the ones whose trauma serves the correct agenda.
Last week, whereas Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner was withdrawing from the race following a rape allegation, the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence towards Women and Girls was reaching out to an Israeli girl who was sexually assaulted whereas in captivity in Gaza.
Great information, proper?
Then why did it take months of accusations of sexual assault (and one Nazi tattoo) for Platner to step down?
And why, regardless of reams of first-hand testimony relating to sexual violence towards Israeli women and women on Oct. 7, did the UN consultant in charge of — checks notes — violence towards women and women deny these horrors till a former hostage referred to as her out publicly for her silence?
In Platner’s case, the accuser needed to have the proper politics to be believed.
But if the bar is high for conservative women, wait until you hear what Jewish women need to clear.
UN Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem, whose job instructions her to pursue the “elimination of violence against women,” has repeatedly denied a number of reviews from Israeli women of what they skilled at the fingers of Hamas terrorists and common Gazans on and after Oct. 7.
She doubled down on her dismissals even after the United Nations itself caved in and acknowledged these crimes.
It took a public shaming, in the type of a viral video, for Alsalem to agree to satisfy head to head with an Oct. 7 sufferer.
Last month, when former hostage Ilana Gritzewsky testified in Geneva about the sexual assault she skilled, she requested the UN rapporteur to look her in the eye as she recounted her horrors.
Alsalem refused in the second — however the backlash that adopted this younger girl’s plea left Alsalem no selection however to lastly meet her gaze.
Last week, she used a post on X to inform the world that she and Gritzewsky had been “in contact trying to identify a convenient time to meet.”

Why did this reluctant acknowledgment of the apparent take nearly three years?
And why should the burden of proof depend upon the sufferer’s id — to not point out that of the perpetrator?
For years, worldwide organizations like the United Nations have been utilizing their important mandates as a instrument to advertise a political agenda.
Captured by progressive ideologies, they spend their days calling out “mansplaining” and “manspreading” — whereas actively denying violent crimes dedicated by these they deem too oppressed to know higher, like unlawful immigrants, convicted criminals and Hamas terrorists.
Just final month Alsalem’s store selected to publish a report about violence towards moms, claiming in its pages that in Iran “achievements in reducing maternal mortality and the gains in girls’ education are likely to be reversed” due to the “aggression” of Israel and the United States.
Notably lacking from the report was any point out of Israeli mom Shiri Bibas, who was kidnapped from her home on Oct. 7 along with her 4-year-old and 9-month-old sons Ariel and Kfir — and later murdered.
That absurd distinction sends a clear message: To the United Nations, some moms are more equal than others.
Sexual assault is a critical allegation that ought to by no means be handled calmly.
But when an advocate authorizes reviews imagining the potential impacts of battle whereas refusing to grapple with a younger girl’s personal story waking up half-naked in Gaza, it’s arduous to not assume that the mission was by no means about women, nor was it about the fact — it was about selling a political agenda.
Gritzewsky advised The Post that the acknowledgment from Alsalem is “better late than never.”
She hopes the rapporteur will come to their assembly “with an open heart, ready to listen and willing to change her mind and her reports.”
“History is what it is — we endured sexual assaults. I, other hostages, and many others,” she stated. “Unfortunately, nothing will change that.”
The courageous victims who proceed to inform their tales, and the social media daylight illuminating the rot in our establishments, are equally obligatory.
We can and will demand higher for women and males who expertise sexual violence.
And as they share the fact about what occurred to them, we should power political operatives and captured ideologues to look them in the eye.
