Former Bernie Spox Drops #BelieveAllWomen Like A Hot Potato When Victims Are Jews | Eastern NC Now

    A former spokesperson for Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) dropped her calls to #BelieveAllWomen when she was confronted with reports that Israeli women had been brutally raped by Hamas terrorists during the October 7 massacre.

    Briahna Joy Gray, who served as national press secretary for the Bernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign, complained that Israel was not being pressed to provide more evidence of the rapes that had been reported.

    "'Believe all women' was always an absurd overreach: woman [sic] should be heard, claims should be investigated, but evidence is required. The same is true of the allegations out of Israel. But also, this isn't a 'believe women' scenario bc no female victims have offered testimony," she posted.

    She then doubled down, saying that "Zionists" were controlling the reports and blamed Israel for failing to collect rape kits while they were sorting through the remains of the more than 1,200 who were killed on October 7 - many of whom were women and children, and some of whom were so severely burned that their bodies were unrecognizable. She also suggested that eyewitness testimony of the rapes was unreliable because the witnesses were men.

    "Zionists are asking that we believe the uncorroborated eyewitness account of *men* who describe alleged rape victims in odd, fetishistic terms. Shame on Israel for not seriously investigating claims of rape and collecting rape kits," she said.

    Amid backlash for her comments, Gray asserted that she had always felt the phrase was too reductive, arguing instead that "'Support victims' or 'sincerely consider diverse perspectives' is closer to what we want than 'believe women' or 'trust black women.'"

    Gray was responding to a video clip posted by Newsweek's Batya Unger-Sargon, who referenced attempts by so-called progressive women to downplay or even ignore the reports of rape coming out of Israel.

    "For years, certain people demanded we replace due process with 'Believe all women,'" she said. "These same people, when presented with evidence of the mass rape of Israeli women, now demand 'context.' Believe all women became don't believe the confessions of rapists - if their victims are Jews."

    For those who were still demanding evidence of the reported rapes, conservative pundit @AGHamilton29 provided a list detailing just a small fraction of the evidence showing that Hamas was using rape and sexual violence as a weapon to terrorize and brutalize Israeli women.

Considering what real news is available for all to witness, and in great specificity, should one pursue what is true outside of the channeled realm of the corrupt corporate /legacy media, and: Is Institutionalized Corruption real, and is it a hindrance to sustaining our Constitutional Republic now, and for future generations of American citizens?

  Yes

  No

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?

  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.

  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.

  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

26 days after the October 7th Terror attacks on Israel, where over 1400 Jewish men, women and children were gruesomely murdered, and hundreds more made hostage: Should the Biden /Harris administration finally state that the administration's primary Middle East negotiating partner, Iran, is behind the funding and strategy of the aggressors, the Hamas Terrorists, or continue to take the more moderate position of "Don't," which is clearly not working?

  Yes, name Iran as the funding /strategy culprit, and begin to enforce the President Trump era sanctions to END Iran's ability to prosecute this war against Israel and the United States.

  No, Iran is a valuable partner in the motives of the Biden / Harris administration, and must not be named as the culprit and our enemy.

  I have larger concerns just to survive in this economy.
