MeToo, for Israeli victims too: Gaza war drives wedge between French feminists

French feminist groups have come under fire for purportedly turning a blind eye to the sexual violence unleashed on Israeli women during the October 7 attacks by Hamas, echoing the anger levelled at rights organisations elsewhere. The accusation is indicative of the competing narratives and loyalties elicited by the devastating conflict. It also reflects a failure to rapidly investigate and establish the specific, gender-based nature of some of the atrocities committed.

“I don’t think he has the ability [to respond]" , says Amit Segal, chief political analyst at #Israel’s Channel 12. “Prior to the war, his allies (far-right ministers, Itamar) Ben Gvir, and (Bezalel) Smotrich would have demanded him to do so and dragged him to do it. Now they can’t because it’s a war and after the war, I think it will be the least of his problems.”

@Norobiik Sounds like a quagmire. If they also get into it with Hezbollah they are in real trouble.
@mike805 When the IDF kept reporting in body counts & %targets hit (just like Vietnam) I knew they were in trouble.
@Norobiik It's very difficult to put down an insurgency with the support of the local population. You either turn the population against the insurgency, or you wage war against the population. Israel cannot turn the population of Gaza against the insurgency, and world opinion limits their ability to wage war against the population. So they are in trouble.
@mike805 @Norobiik the Netanyahu coalition doesn't care about world opinion and is not in meaningful trouble due to US protection

@currentbias @Norobiik The Israel-Palestine thing has split the American Left right down the middle. Appointed officials are getting their houses picketed, and the Left is calling Biden "Genocide Joe."

Israel has to care about world opinion because they are not self-sufficient.

Anti-semitic statements that were once confined to the "Nazi bars" of the Internet are now everywhere.

Israel is in trouble, whether they admit it or not.

@currentbias @mike805

Actually they do care about world opinion. Israel isn't one of the states party to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ie. accepts ICC jurisdiction) but they're going to the Hague to defend themselves anyway.

Well as long as they're not reducing troop numbers because of pressure from other countries over the +20,000 non-combatants that Israel has slaughtered in revenge atrocities then that's OK I guess.
/sarcasm

It's pretty clear that Israel and the US aren't fit to be full members of a rules-based international community.
I'd put them alongside Russia and China in this.

@Norobiik
Obnoxious..considering genocide as a competition...who suffered the most...who acknowledges the most death.

Makes me sick, literally.

As if, having suffered a genocide was like a vaccine that would prevent from ever perpetrating one.

These people are living in denial and unculture.

@MusiqueNow

@Norobiik sounds rather lengthy and inconvenient. Security checks consisting of what? Because European countries will smuggle in arms with aid?
