Gaza's Women: Abandoned By So-Called 'Fe...

OWEN JONES
About this episode

New reports by the UN that Palestinian women have been sexually abused and raped by Israeli women are hideous enough. But even before these reports, the utter horrors suffered by Palestinian women were being ignored. Not by intersectional feminists - who've played a prominent role in opposing Israel's genocidal onslaught - but mainstream media outlets and a brand of mainstream feminism.

I discuss this with Maryam Aldossari, an academic who wrote 'For feminists, silence on Gaza is no longer an option': https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/1/4/for-feminists-silence-on-gaza-is-no-longer-an-option
