Why Have Western Feminists Been So Slow to Condemn the Hamas Rapes?
The Nation ^ | 15 December 2023 | Katha Pollitt

Israel’s war in Gaza is an atrocity. But we can deplore its actions while also condemning the atrocities perpetrated by Hamas.

On October 7, Hamas fighters raped Israeli women and girls. Whatever may have been unknown in the immediate aftermath of the attack, the rapes are by now as substantiated as anything ever can be in an ongoing war. There is eyewitness testimony. There are reports from doctors and others who saw bodies of women who had been sexually abused. There are photographs. You have to be a conspiracist or rape denialist to dismiss all that as fabricated. And yet, social media is crammed with dismissals of the evidence as Israeli propaganda. Take journalist Max Blumenthal, who claimed in a tweet last week that “Israel is inventing stories of mass rape on October 7.” His Grayzone colleague Aaron Maté demanded to see “purported rape victims offering direct testimony.” Never mind they are dead.

The Nation is a far left rag that sometimes practices actual journalism unlike their mainstream Democrat counterparts.

They ask some scathing questions here, but I think we all know the real answer: American feminazis hate conservative Christians and are simply reluctant to criticize their fellow Hamas nazi haters.

Easy.

Western Feminists along with the Delusional Lying left are run by the spirit of antichrist.

Next.

Because the foundational spirit of “feminism” is one that hates women.

Ask whooppee. Maybe they aren’t “rape” “rape”.

For that matter, why have they been so slow to condemn boys pretending to be girls as they dominate in women’s sports?

Maybe feminists secretly fantasize it will happen to them.

Because “feminism” is just yet another label/excuse to undermine our Judeo-Christian values. With the left, their stated goal is never their real goal.

Modern feminism by its very nature is an incoherent and irrational world view. Asking a modern feminist to condemn Islamic rapists is like asking Joe Biden to explain quantum physics.

Same reason they have packed the school boards and lead the charge for homosexuals and trannies in the school and aggressively go after parents who object. Same reason they swear their oath of office on a graphic homo book for kids with drawings of boys blowing each other.
Same reason they exclusively lead the charge in the Planned Parenthood baby-parts-sales over salads scandal.
Same reason all Penn, Harvard and MIT are all run by women who are committed to Genocide of the Jews.
Same reason the grandma governor of Iowa couldn’t figure out how to deal with a statue of Satan in the Capitol.

Women in this country have a sickness. It’s a learned hatred of children, traditional America, and a love of revolutionary socialism.

It’s probably around 65-70% of women.

It is really also rough on the sane women left in America. They lose friends, jobs, and endure endless scorn.

Western feminists do not love women or childen, only themselves.

It’s a matter of the liberal hierarchy: they hate Jews more than they care about women. Simple as that.
