A group of US-based anti-Zionist Jewish feminists have instigated an open letter accusing Israels government of exploiting acts of sexual violence committed on October 7 for political ends.
Hundreds of professors, rabbis and feminist activists from within and beyond the Jewish community are listed as signatories, including renowned American academic Angela Davis.
----
The letter condemns every instance of rape and sexual assault, adding that the signatories believe survivors and excoriate rape and all forms of sexual assault.
However, it does not explicitly confirm belief in the sexual assault allegations made by victims of the October 7 attacks and goes on to state: We believe reporting that results from investigations conducted by trained feminist and human rights experts who have no agenda other than to clearly and accurately document and convey the gravity of gender-based violence.

(41,351 posts)It has long been clear to me that there is a point when politics replaces religion and becomes cult like, demanding the suspension of critical thinking skills.
Calling Israeli and most Jewish womens demand that the sexual violence that occurred on October 7th be taken seriously and condemned is not weaponization. It is a disgraceful assertion to suggested that the horrific sexual violence that occurred during the October 7th massacre is being exploited.
Those signing this letter seek to silence Jewish victims of rape and sexual torture.
Any Jewish woman who would put her name to this libelous and hateful statement defines the self-loathing Jew. They are a shanda to the Jewish people.
The only value this disgusting letter has is to demonstrate the irrational hate for Israel and the deep and ugly antisemitism of the far-left.
