No. Samantha Pearson is "Bullshit".. Not the insult you posted to the OP.

At the Sexual Assault Centre at The University of Alberta in Edmonton last week. Samantha Pearson, who until a couple of days ago served as the center’s director, signed an open letter, which, among other things, questioned the veracity of accounts that reported that Hamas committed acts of sexual violence during the October 7th attacks on Israeli civilians.


The University of Alberta has fired Samantha Pearson, the director of the Sexual Assault Centre after she signed an open letter penned by ousted Ontario MPP Sarah Jama that calls into question whether Israeli women were subjected to rape and sexual violence during a Hamas attack on Oct. 7.

So much for any fucking moral superiority of he Muslims.. they have NONE.

I wish the horrific scenes of dismembered bodies that had been brutally raped, images that are seared into my soul and the souls of first responders who witnessed the massacres’ devastating aftermath, hadn’t happened. I wish that those women and girls who were assaulted and then escaped or left for dead were not having to carry the crushing weight of this trauma. I wish I had not seen videos of Israeli hostages being taken off a truck in Gaza with telltale signs of sexual assault – blood dripping down from their private areas and soaking their ripped pants

Whot the fuck is "Ms Pearson"?

Aloha PeggySue! I remember that about Asshole Ghazi Hamad saying HAMAS had NO

responsibility to protect Palestinians.. it was up to Israel.. I had forgotten the UN part. I'll try to find that.. TY I can't find it!

And, so many want to Protect HAMAS.. when Israel Points out what they're doing they mindlessly Chime. basically.. It's All Israel's fault.

But while I was looking for it I found this..

The truth of Hamas is in its charter

Similarly, a close reading of Hamas’ charter, which was created in 1987 and revised in 2017, explains a lot about its decision to slaughter innocent Jewish civilians, and unleash a reaction that has inevitably claimed innocent Palestinian lives as well.

After Hamas’ takeover, Israel imposed a blockade on Gaza, controlling travel and trade in and out of the coastal enclave. Hamas, which the United States, Israel, the European Union, Canada, Egypt, and Japan designate as a terrorist organization, had by 2006 conducted terror attacks in Israel that killed 506 and wounded thousands. After the blockade, the number of attacks plummeted.

But Hamas has never changed its aspirations to wrest control of all of Israel by killing its Jews— a goal you will see clearly when you read the Hamas charter, as I did on Tuesday

The charter’s description of Jews echoes millennia of antisemitic tropes.

Rec.. TY Here's some more info on "Throwing the word genocide around"..

This interested me..

Inside Hollywood's Divide Over Israel

*Snip*

There’s just no excuse for not condemning Hamas and demanding the release of the hostages. Hollywood was quick to declare Black Lives Matter, as they should, and Time’s Up, as they should, and myriad other important causes,” Greenblatt tells Variety. “There’s plenty of room for criticism of Israel or to voice concerns about the ongoing war in Gaza, but that doesn’t provide celebrities and industry reps with an open license to wage unfair accusations against Israel, such as accusing it of ‘apartheid’ or ‘genocide’ or, worse, to celebrate the actions of Hamas terrorists.


When it comes to Israel, the use of the word “genocide” has long been considered problematic in Hollywood. In 2021, Mark Ruffalo apologized for suggesting Israel was committing genocide and added, “It’s not accurate, it’s inflammatory, disrespectful & is being used to justify antisemitism here & abroad.” In 2014, Javier Bardem and celebrate the actions of Hamas terrorists.”
Penelope Cruz signed a letter that called Israel’s operations in Gaza “genocide.” They both later clarified their positions after being widely criticized.

Financial backers of Biden's primary challenger ask him to return their donations

*Snip*

Vance Opperman, a Democratic Party fundraiser who Twin Cities Business magazine called “the ultimate influencer” in Minnesota, told CNBC in an interview that he texted Phillips and requested that his past donations to the congressional campaign not to be used in his run against Biden. Opperman said Phillips told him his contributions would not be used for the primary run versus Biden.

Opperman said that after it become evident earlier this year that Phillips was at least considering running for president, he was forced to cancel a September fundraising event for the Minnesota’s congressman’s reelection campaign. He said almost half of the 20 invitees had canceled their planned attendance.

*Snip*

Opperman has been a Biden ally for years and said he helped organize a fundraiser for the president’s campaign in Minnesota that took place after Phillips announced his run for president.

Opperman said that after it become evident earlier this year that Phillips was at least considering running for president, he was forced to cancel a September fundraising event for the Minnesota’s congressman’s reelection campaign. He said almost half of the 20 invitees had canceled their planned attendance.

But it’s not just Opperman who doesn’t want to help Phillips with his latest political effort.
