West Bank Feminist Academics Condemn Israel (!) For Promoting Rape, Sexism, and Genocide.
  Be the first of your
friends to like this.On July 31, 2014, the Institute of Women's Studies at Birzeit University put out "an urgent call" to condemn Israel, Israeli scholars, and the Israeli culture of "rape," "misogyny," "sexism," "genocide," and "ethnic cleansing."
That's not all. The Institute also condemned one unnamed
member of the Israeli Parliament who has allegedly called for "the
killing of all Palestinian women"; another Israeli academic who has
allegedly called for the "raping of Palestinian women;" and a Rabbi
who has "call(ed) for mass murder of Palestinians while taking their
foreskins as trophies."
Birzeit University is a Palestinian
academic institution located in the West Bank-- specifically, in the town of
Bir Zeit. The message has made it far beyond Palestine, however. American
and European listserv groups are circulating this filth, which is how it came
into my possession last night.
The Birzeit women, intoxicated by their own rhetoric and on
quite a metaphoric high horse-- perhaps with a real as well as metaphoric
Hamas gun to their heads, too-- do not mention the Palestinian culture (in
both Gaza and on the West Bank) of forced veiling, child marriage, child
rape, polygamy, honor killing, and normalized daughter- and wife-beating. Nor
do they mention Hamas's culture of Jihad, human sacrifice, or Hamas's use of
their own civilian human shields for propaganda purposes.
