Some so-called "feminists" have become so entrenched in their own confirmation bias — that reason, research, or even a smidge of empathy for someone outside their bubble has become impossible.
The problem as I see it is that for some unfathomable reason the left has decided that Islamic Palestinians, even Hamas, are the good guys in this war and that Israelis are the evil “colonialist”bad guys. Nothing could be further from the truth. Islam is not the religion of peace as Barack Obama tried to gaslight people who didn’t believe their lying eyes into thinking, rather it is the religion of war, terrorism and violence, with a heavy dose of misogyny thrown in for good measure. leftist feminists ignore the violence and misogyny of this group and jump on the Palestinian bandwagon because so called Islamophobia” is bad but antisemitism is fair game. Palestinian Arabs have brown skin after all. In truth, It is not phobic to fear the religion in which the fundamentalists believe that killing infidels is their duty and puts them in paradise on death. rather it is sensible. Israel is not committing genocide, but Hamas would if it could. Thankfully it can’t, even with the backing of Iran.
Perfectly stated. While I thankfully have no idea what it's like to exist inside one of these deranged, vile, anti-Israel/anti-Jewish propaganda ecosystems, these influencers know they're lying and their (pathetic) business model depends on it. They make a living peddling filth to the rabble who are addicted to it. There's no downside to the influencers, other than rejection by decent people, which they don't care about.
I'm guilty of surrounding myself with a Jewish, Zionist echo chamber. It's how I cope since October 7th. I follow EVery Jewish, Zionist person I come across on twitter, I block any murderous h*m*s supporter who deigns to encroach on my timeline, I mark as "not interested" any pal#stinian propaganda that comes onto my insta feed. I purposefully don't use fb.
I know the counter arguments.... a decade or so ago I went all the way into pal#stinian sympathy, I lived it a while - until I saw no evidence or voice that wants anything BUT annihilation of my people and our nation. A lone Jew in provincial New Zealand - I NEED my echo chamber.... it keeps me safe.
Sadly we only have ourselves to blame, whether it be our extreme tolerance or our sad belief in higher values and relentless forgiveness, we encourage and invite all of the evil we bring upon ourselves.
We have the longest history of atrocities committed against us of any other group on the planet and after over 5000 years we are still arrogant enough to think we can change the hearts and minds of the rest of the inhumanity that we have somehow managed to coexist with, we as a people are the worst when it comes to learning from history, especially our own, so when exactly are we going to man up and do what we need to do to destroy the evil that surrounds us, or are we simply going to wait for the next genocide to start whining and begging again.
It's our decision to make and any JINO that gets in the way needs to be treated as Hashem treated them in Sodom and Gomorrah, show them no mercy either, it's long past time to stop cowering in the shadows and to strike back at the very heart of the problem.
the problem is, we are so few in number. We need help. Fortunately, we have religious Christians on our side--and hopefully they will start speaking up more. And we have the new Trump administration on our side and they are already speaking up loud and clear and that will increase--especially because the end of this war is coming, Israel will be fully triumphant, and we will NEED the new administration to be fully and completely on our side when the outcry against us becomes shrieks. They will stand with us and take action, like they have already begun to do.
Oh, absolutely! That is part of this war and the "fully triumphant" part. First, Israel will take out the nuke-bomb building sites (absolutely essential, and soon). Then the rest will follow.
Thank you so much for your emotional essay.....It's so sad to learn about some of the awful reactions of these women "feminists" .......Doble standards, as always......Am Israel Chai.....
You could have renamed this article A letter to Clementine Ford. I hope she will personally host some of the Palestinians Australia is eager to take in. I cannot fathom that Australians actually stand for this. That’s not how I know this country.
Excellent article, but a sad commentary on the stupidity of the Jew-hating segments of society. As an ardent pro-Israel advocate, I have found that, the more extreme the anti-Israel allegations, the less believable they are, while the more extreme allegations against Pals are more believable. We're basically in a battle of good vs. evil, light vs. darkness, civilization vs. savagery.
Well researched & written article. A suggestion - any 'Women's Rights' organisation that didn't fulfil their organisation's responsibilities towards Israeli women on the October 7th attack should lose/ have tax-deductible status reviewed
Evil fake "feminists" so easily believed unproven and even debunked allegations against innocent conservative men like Kavanaugh but deny ample evidence of the horrors which took place against Israeli women on October 7. The truth is that they are gleeful about the atrocities Israeli women suffered. What kind of "feminists" circle the wagons in defense of islamic rapists but are quick to destroy innocent conservative men over unfounded allegations? The kind of women who aren't really feminists but are communists. As far as these deranged "feminists" are concerned, conservative white men are worse than hamas.
Kelli, Thank you. I have been in a rage since Oct 7. This rage increased to fever-pitch afterwards when not ONE of any of these feminists uttered a peep. My rage consumes me more each day when I read their smug denial and lies. I will add these three names to my list of 'feminist's" and feminist organisations that I have been keeping since Oct 7. NOT ONE of them even acknowledged or expressed any sympathy, outrage or even an ounce support for the victims of the sexually depraved islamists. Even hell is too good for them. They should suffer an eternity of the very abuse that they so glibly deny.
My list exists so that I can consult it and cross-check in future when they get brutally gang-raped, and have their pelvises broken, breasts cut off and are shot in their private parts - or if any of their male partners and families are anally raped by their islamist idols. When their gender-confused and queer friends and family are thrown off roofs or dragged through the streets by their islamist idols, my heart will remain as cold as ice for their plight. I will not rejoice, for that is what islamists do, I simply have nothing left in my heart for them.
When I read about their innocent babies, their children, families, and elderly relatives being brutally murdered, burnt alive and tortured – I will consult my list. When their babies, children, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, friends, and families are kidnapped, tortured, and kept like animals to be bartered for like slaves or beasts at an auction; I will consult my list and decide how much sympathy or support they get from me.
I used to look upon them as human beings, as part of society that we could live with and learn from – Now I have no feeling left for them, nothing, just nothing. Life is truly “Us & Them.”
Thank you for naming this and calling it out. I had a "feminist" therapist ask me to "fact check" the sexual violence days after 10/7 when I posted a petition started by israeli women call #metoounlessyourajew on my instagram. I received disgusting comments from women when I was asking for support and to acknowledge the insanity of women and feminists denying women's sexual violence. Even as a therapist I have difficult assigning this dangerous behavior to cognitive dissonance. It's like saying I'm vegan then eating a steak.
In the divorce between feminists who hate rape, mutilation, torture, kidnapping, and murder of Jewish women just as they hate rape, mutilation, torture, kidnapping, and murder of other women and feminists who don’t, which side gets to keep the word “feminist” and which has to be stuck with “so-called feminist”?
Obviously the two sides can’t agree. Like other questions of language, it will probably be settled by our language-setting institutions: universities, school systems, dictionaries and textbooks (both in print and on line), major media companies’ style books, and so on—all precincts thoroughly colonized by the woke.
So the way to bet, unfortunately, is that the word “feminist” will be awarded to the freaks who mean “except Jews, and maybe others to be designated.” Indeed, in common usage it largely has been.
Personally I've abandoned calling myself a feminist. That label just doesn't fit me anymore, especially after 10/7 and everything Kelli has described in this piece.
Modern feminism has little to do with women’s rights. It’s all about leftist doctrine.
The problem as I see it is that for some unfathomable reason the left has decided that Islamic Palestinians, even Hamas, are the good guys in this war and that Israelis are the evil “colonialist”bad guys. Nothing could be further from the truth. Islam is not the religion of peace as Barack Obama tried to gaslight people who didn’t believe their lying eyes into thinking, rather it is the religion of war, terrorism and violence, with a heavy dose of misogyny thrown in for good measure. leftist feminists ignore the violence and misogyny of this group and jump on the Palestinian bandwagon because so called Islamophobia” is bad but antisemitism is fair game.

get your heads together, feminists
Yeah, no reason to fear Christian extremists in the US because they’re NEVER misogynistic! 🙄

So well written. Once again, thank you, Kelli.
Kelli, a fine analysis and your compassion shines through.

This will not end until Iran falls and radical islam is irradiated for good.
