On International Women’s Day, a Voice for the Hostages

On International Women’s Day, a Voice for the Hostages 2024-03-07T00:18:36-05:00 Dana Shemesh

This Friday marks International Women’s Day.  There are still 19 innocent women — among 134 other hostages – still being held hostage in Gaza by Hamas, for over 150 days now.

One of these hostages, Shir Bibas, was kidnapped with her two small children, one age 4 and another age 1.  Their fate is unknown.

The depravity of the situation for the hostages and their families is excruciating.

These young women who are facing rape, abuse, subhuman conditions, and not a peep from human rights organizations, women’s rights organizations.  Why, because they are Jewish?

On International Women’s Day, so-called feminists and Women’s Rights organizations will continue their self-righteous virtue-signaling.

They’ll continue to praise their empty cause of upholding women’s rights – while deliberately excluding Israeli hostages being held in Gaza.

They will fail to call out the inhuman crimes of rape, murder, desecration of human bodies perpetrated against Jewish women in Israel (as well as men, children, and elderly) on October 7.

On International Women’s Day, I will honor these women – still held in Gaza – and their families.

For those who want to help secure their release, contact your elected officials wherever you live.

If you are in the US, go to www.oneminaday.com and everywhere else, go to www.lifeshiftr.com to demand the immediate release of these hostages. You can also share this post with others and/or make your own (simply by holding up the same sign) to help spread the word.
