I've asked before, and I'll ask again: what is it about the anti-Israel cause that attracts so many women, particularly of a certain age?
I'd have thought that these veterans of the women's liberation era would be protesting outside the embassies of countries where such outrages as the routine abortion of female foetuses, female infanticide, female genital mutilation, "honour" killings, and "dowry" murders are everyday occurrences.
I'd have thought that if they wanted to demonstrate against further suffering in the world, the butchery in Syria, the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria, the treatment of women, minorities, and gays in Islamist countries would be obvious targets for their outrage.
But, of course, Israel is their selected focus for rage and obloquy.
I wonder why.

Here's the scene at Manchester Airport on Sunday, when a bevy of women, with some men including a voluble Scottish anti-Israel activist, descended on the check-in desk of their chosen airline.
Never mind. They could always hop on a flight to Damascus ...
What are the ZIonists afraid of ? A few women walking with the help of canes visiting Palestine! Israel calims to be the only democracy in the region, but its hasbara is increasingly tattered particularly after Operation cast lead and the flotilla masssacre.
ReplyDeleteDecades of propoganda advantage is coming unstuck and that is why so many women are coming to peacefully see for themselves the situation in the West bank. So what is Israel afraid of ?
You make a good point. Just herd them on to any random plane going any random place. Since it matters nothing WHERE they protest....
ReplyDeleteHow pathetic! Apologists fro countries like Syria could as their protestors to protest against Israel's genocide and so on. Each passing the buck to another and continuing their barbarities.
