A new report by the Palestinian Feminist Collective, “A Predatory State: Israeli Systemic Sexualized and Gendered Violence Against Palestinians,” chronicles Israel’s systematic violence against Palestinians before and since 7 October 2023.
The report details how sexualized and gendered violence, attacks on reproductive life and Israeli atrocity propaganda have been used to justify and carry out genocide.
Palestinian women have been forced to give birth without anesthesia, care for their families amid starvation and displacement and endure the destruction of Gaza’s reproductive healthcare system.
Yet major Western feminist organizations have largely ignored these crimes and excluded Palestine from their work on healthcare, safety and reproductive health.
On today’s program, we welcome Jenin, Palestine campaigner for CODEPINK, to discuss its new campaign, “Feminists: Stand with Palestine.”" Rooted in the Palestinian Feminist Collective’s report, the campaign is calling on women’s organizations to confront Israel’s gendered and sexual violence and support Palestinian reproductive and maternal health.
Jon Elmer will report on the tanker war developing in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian missile attacks on US warships in the Arabian Sea and strikes on US airbases in Jordan.
Ali Abunimah will examine Britain’s latest measures against Israeli settlements and explain why they amount to fake support for Palestine: symbolic steps meant to rescue Israel and the so-called two-state solution while Britain continues enabling genocide and apartheid.
Nora Barrows-Friedman will start the program with news from Palestine and Lebanon, including a report from our contributor Roqayah Chamseddine in Beirut.
Please join Jon, Nora, Ali and Tamara Nassar for all this and more.
Thank you for reading, listening to and sharing all our original news and analysis at The Electronic Intifada.
