As a Muslim woman faith leader who bore witness to Hamas’ crimes on October 7th. I bore witness to those events by taking a group of Muslim leaders to Israel. @CombatASemitism @ammwecofficial. 
I just heard @NoaFay, speak at the @InternationalLionofJudah conference in Atlanta. She recalls a statement made by her professor at @Columbia suggesting that there was "no rape" that statement is a lie and profoundly disrespectful to those women who suffered at the hands of Hamas terrorists. 
It ignores the complexity of trauma and the reality that #sexualviolence is often both a weapon of war and an instrument of power used to humiliate and dehumanize individuals. 
It’s no wonder Christian Arab Palestinians in America often tell me how it’s hard for them to believe Israeli women. Really!  
Such comments perpetuate a dangerous narrative that silences victims and undermines their sufferings. The duty of educators and leaders is to promote understanding and compassion; however, to dismiss these atrocities perpetuates a cycle of violence and discord. It is imperative that we acknowledge the pain experienced on that day, fostering a dialogue rooted in empathy to honor the affected and ensure such atrocities never occur again. Only through genuine acknowledgment and collective healing can we begin to find a path toward justice and reconciliation.
