Israel’s Far-Left Haaretz Asks: ‘Why Is the Cruel Sexual Violence of the October 7 Hamas Attack Being Ignored?’ NOV 17, 2023 12:00 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER 8 COMMENTS The answer lies with the Left’s alliance with Islam. Leftists don’t want to hear about atrocities that are rooted in Islam. That would be “Islamophobic.” And that’s women’s rights organizations are turning a blind eye as well. For jihadis, rape is a means to express conquest and domination, and to inflict humiliation upon the conquered people. But such assumptions are rooted in Islam, so the Left will never discuss them. “Why Is the Cruel Sexual Violence of the October 7 Hamas Attack Being Ignored?,” Haaretz, November 14, 2023: “I knew right away that sexual violence was part of the events of October 7, but obviously, I could not have known the extent of the cruelty that Hamas engaged in,” says Prof. Ruth Halperin-Kaddari, who served for 12 years on the UN Committee on Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Halperin-Kaddari now feels “completely betrayed” by the international women’s rights organizations with whom she has worked for years, for their failure to condemn – or even recognize – the rape, kidnapping and other atrocities committed by Hamas terrorists against Israeli citizens on October 7. In conversation with Haaretz Weekly host Allison Kaplan Sommer, Halperin-Kaddari, a member of the newly formed Civil Commission on Hamas’ October 7 Crimes Against Women and director of the Rackman Center for the Advancement of the Status of Women at Bar-Ilan University, explains that “unlike any previous incidents of ‘conflict-related sexual violence,’ as the UN calls it, the Hamas terrorists had body cameras and they filmed their actions. They broadcast it both to the families of the victims and on social media, so the horrific footage emerged right away.” The UN-affiliated groups Halperin-Kaddari has worked with were founded with the mission of “protecting women from violence, to champion women’s rights, and to acknowledge when harm is done to women. And now, when we Israeli women are faced with the most horrible occurrence of ‘conflict-related sexual violence,’ there is complete silence….

"No One Will Want Solar": California Cuts Rooftop Solar Subsidies In Blow To 'Green' Industry BY TYLER DURDEN FRIDAY, NOV 17, 2023 - 04:20 PM Roughly seven months after screwing over California homeowners with a 75% reduction in rates paid for energy fed back to the grid, the golden state is also screwing over apartment owners, farms, and schools, Bloomberg reports. In a unanimous vote on Thursday by the California Public Utilities Commission on Thursday, with a 5-0 vote, those who wish to install solar power on schools, apartment buildings, and farms will also receive less credits for exporting power to the grid. This adds to the challenges the solar industry faces, which has already struggled with high-interest rates and sliding demand. Under the new rules, the aforementioned categories, as well as commercial strips and other facilities where more than one electric meter is on the same site, will receive less money from utilities in exchange for excess solar produced. "This (new rule) forces them to sell low and buy high," Bernadette Del Chiaro, executive director of the California Solar & Storage Association, told local paper CalMatters, warning, "No one is going to go solar under that setup."

It adds more pressure to the solar industry, struggling with sliding sales and high-interest rates that have made rooftop solar systems less affordable. The decision is a setback for solar companies struggling with sagging sales as higher interest rates make consumers less willing to finance rooftop solar systems. In addition, California — the biggest solar market — slashed incentives for house installations in April to make sure the costs to run utility grids are shared fairly. That move has proved devastating for the state’s rooftop solar industry, said Bernadette Del Chiaro, executive director of the California Solar & Storage Association. The trade group said its members reported an 80% drop in sales since the decision and anticipates a loss of about 20% of California’s solar jobs by early next year. -Bloomberg SunPower Corp., Sunnova Energy International Inc., Enphase Energy Inc., and SolarEdge Technologies Inc. are some of the largest solar companies operating in California. Shares in these companies have crashed this year. And just how does California plan to eradicate fossil fuels with 'green energy' to meet 100% carbon-free electricity targets by 2045 if it was disincentivized new solar development?
