Canadian University’s Sexual Assault Center Denies Women Were Raped By Hamas
The director of the center put her name to a letter condemning the Canadian government’s “complicity” with the “genocide” of Palestinians
The sexual assault center at a major Canadian university is facing backlash after backing a statement that denied that Israeli women were raped by members of Hamas on October 7.
The director of the University of Alberta’s Sexual Assault Center, Samantha Pearson, signed her name to a letter refuting the “unverified” claim that the Islamic militants committed acts of sexual assault against terror targets.
The letter was penned by two Canadian politicians, Ontario parliamentarian Sarah Jama and Victoria city councilor Susan Kim, calling upon the nation’s government to end its “complicity” in Israel’s actions against Hamas, and was titled “Stand with Palestine: Call on Political Leaders to End Their Complicity in Genocide!"
"We, the undersigned, residing in so-called Canada, urge Canadian political leaders to end their complicity in the ongoing massacres and genocide in Gaza, Occupied Palestine,” the letter, signed by several individuals including Pearson, stated.
The letter also rebuked opposition party leader Jagmeet Singh for repeating an "unverified accusation that Palestinians were guilty of sexual violence."
The Boston Globe and The Times of Israel have reported that horrific witness accounts point to cruel and violent rape and brutal murder of women at the hands of Hamas, some with details far too gruesome to mention here.
