I haven't watched the full interview and am only going off of what Charlie excerpted here, so I only comment on not doing the unequivocal full stop "rape by Hamas is bad" when J-Pal said: "However, I think we have to be balanced about bringing in the outrages against Palestinians." Like, I think she could have just stopped when she said that Hamas was a terror org and that their raping is bad. From there, she could have asked Bash if they could also discuss the atrocities that the IDF is committing against Palestinian women because it's also about the suffering of women that Bash probably would have allowed for that follow up convo. That said, yea, maybe Bash's framing could have contributed to that. Not saying you're wrong here and my only knowledge of the whole convo is the excerpts of it here in today's Morning Shots.
Agree, people should really watch it for themselves because I think Charlie is being dishonest in his framing. I truly don’t understand the anger with Jayapal about this interview.

It may not be just this interview. I have been appalled that she has refused to condemn Hamas and as far as I have seen she has refused to do so.
