Yes. I don't mean to suggest that just because it's not official policy that rape never happens, nor does anyone else. But the resolution she's voting present on isn't about rape in general, it's about rape as a method of warfare, and honestly if she said yes I'm going to vote yes on this and then use my platform/go to the UN/write my own resolution to call out incidents of rape by IDF soldiers in the territories and how Israel is doing nothing about it, she could totally do that and I'd be 100% behind her on that. But she hasn't once done that, before or after October 7. So either it's not that important to her at all, or at best is's whataboutism on her part.

@acarson 100%. I’d also support her making a distinct resolution! Like this feels like a lack of empathy for Israeli civilians, combined with whataboutism.
@jaklacroix Yes absolutely 100%, especially on a distinct resolution. Because this isn’t a zero-sum game.
@acarson exactly! People are so adamant that it is and it’s not. I’m so tired haha
