She talks about Emmett Till, Vincent Chen and Rassenschande (anti-miscegenation from Nazi German) in that tweet with no mention of Jewish women ...

How does that "justify mass rape of jewish women" ?

Agreed.

She's saying that the alleged Oct. 7th rapes (or at least their characterization as widespread) are a hoax, echoing previous hoaxes. Without wading in too deeply, I do think that the fog of war makes conclusions difficult, and an investigation after all this is over is warranted. I do also think it's very disingenuous to point to rape as a crime exclusive to Hamas when sexual assault of Palestinian prisoners happens regularly in Israeli jails.

Suffice it to say, the statement above doesn't disqualify the speaker, any more than someone saying, "The deaths in Gaza are a tragedy, but all I care about is that the hostages come home."
