The Silence of Western Feminists Over Gaza Exposes Their Fraud

What exactly is global feminism about if it doesn’t care about the fact that miscarriages tripled in the Strip this year, or that Palestinian mothers are so malnourished they can’t feed their babies?

Miscarriages in Gaza tripled in the first half of this year to nearly 4,000, a shocking statistic. If this were any other place on Earth, women would be marching worldwide. They would be – rightfully – setting fire to the streets. Remember how upset women in Europe were that their Iranian sisters had to wear a piece of cloth over their hair? They made videos and signed petitions and cut snippets of their own hair in sisterly solidarity, and they were very, very mad indeed. But the news of Gaza’s women being unable to complete their pregnancies at a phenomenally large rate didn’t bother global feminists at all.

Did Gloria Steinem hold a demonstration? Did Oprah devote herself to a series of shows?
