(Times of Israel) Rachel Azaria - We need to talk in the same language that is used against us, the rhetoric of human rights. We need to explain that supporting Hamas means forcing women to cover from head to toe, it means giving carte blanche for husbands to beat up their wives, it means forcing young girls to marry, it means excluding women from any significant positions in society. Supporting Hamas means condoning the use of children as human shields; their exploitation for political use; the firing from their schools and orphanages. The Gaza situation is not about Israel, it's about human rights, crimes against women and children by their own leadership. Supporting Hamas is supporting the annihilation of basic human rights for their people. The writer is Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem.
