Just recently, in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, Hamas ordered
Palestinian women to act as human shields for terrorists who had holed
themselves up inside al-Nasser Mosque. Israeli soldiers ended up
inadvertently killing two of the women, and injuring ten others, as
they tried to shoot militants escaping amongst the human shields.
This horrid example of the Palestinian culture's violent misogyny
replayed itself again shortly after, as a female Palestinian suicide
bomber blew herself up in the same Gaza town in an effort to kill
Israeli soldiers. One soldier was slightly wounded and evacuated to a
hospital. The militant Islamic Jihad group claimed responsibility for
the suicide bombing.
These Palestinian crimes against humanity once again shed light on the
vicious system of gender apartheid within the Palestinian death cult.
The Left spins these recent events as some kind of desperate backlash
by Palestinian women against American and Israeli oppression.
Unfortunately, the facts tell another frightening tale -- one that you
won't hear about in the mainstream media.
The veneration of suicide-killing in Palestinian jihad takes a
pathological twist when it dovetails with the culture's deep-rooted
misogyny. The instinct for death in the culture engenders a morbid
dilemma in that too many males end up blowing themselves up while women
remain mostly exempt from killing themselves. As a result, the law of
men spawns yet another violent misogynistic structure: balancing the
scales of gender equality when suicide murder is at play.
Female infanticide and honor killings are not enough for a culture
where the torture and dehumanization of women exist as a high priority.
The lust for death, therefore, also enforces a paradigm in which women
are forced to blow themselves up -- whether they want to or not. The
woman-haters go about this violence by creating nightmarish conditions
for certain women in which suicide is left as their only alternative.
Fact: a growing phenomenon exists in which Palestinian militants seduce
and/or rape Palestinian women and then threaten to expose their
"impurity" unless suicide murder is chosen as the glorious and
redeeming way out.
The unfortunate female victims in this vicious death orchestra are
coerced into blowing themselves up as the only way to spare their
family's, and their own, "honor". The terror group Fatah, for
instance, runs an operation in which male terrorists seduce or rape
young women and then confront them with the deadly choice: shameful
death in an "honor" killing at the hands of the family or the
washing away of the family's shame by "martyrdom."
Hamas engages in the same crime, as the heart-wrenching case of Reem
Al-Reyashi illustrates. The mother of two young children, she blew
herself up in January 2004 at the Erez crossing in Israel, killing
herself and four Israelis. It was discovered after the suicide-killing
that she had been seduced by a Hamas terrorist -- who afterwards
offered her a choice between an "honor" killing or suicide by means
of explosives detonated amidst as many Jews as possible. Her terrorist
lover armed her with the necessary explosives and instructions, and her
husband drove her to the location of her crime and death.
In May 2004, Israel was able to stop two young Palestinian women from
following in Al-Reyashi's footsteps. The terror group Tanzim had
coerced these women to reclaim their "honor" by killing themselves
amongst Jews. The first woman, Tehani Zaki Ali Halil, had lost her
"honor" after being accused of adultery and was forced to carry out
a suicide attack in Tel Aviv as her penance. The second woman, a
19-year-old named Ramah Abed el-Majid Hasan Habaib, was accused of
engaging in premarital sexual relations.
In this respect, we see how Palestinian women are coerced into blowing
themselves up, and into acting as human shields, in a culture that
values them more in death than in life. And since no female equality
exists on any other level in Palestinian society, the Islamic clerics
and terrorist groups paint suicide bombings as the only way a
Palestinian women can achieve "equality."
Islamic jihad, therefore, has now become "feminist" in the Muslim
sense by adopting a "liberal" attitude toward suicide along gender
lines. This "feminism" can be found in promotional materials in
Palestinian Jihadi literature -- represented by statements like: "Our
women are no longer the type of women who cry or weep. We have
martyrdom women now."
It is no surprise, meanwhile, that there is not one word of protest,
not one howl of moral indignation, from the camp of leftist feminism in
the West. This is just to be expected, of course, since, as Dr. Phyllis
Chesler has documented in The Death of Feminism, these feminists have
completely betrayed their persecuted sisters under the vicious and
sadistic system of Islamic gender apartheid.
To be sure, leftist feminists are deafeningly silent on the horrors of
forced marriages, honor killings and female genital mutilation within
the Islamic world. The radical worldview of Oslo Professor of
Anthropology, Dr. Unni Wikan, reflects this growing pathology. Her
solution for the Muslim rape epidemic in Norway, for instance, is that
Norwegian women start veiling themselves.
Meanwhile, for Miriam Cooke, a Duke professor and head of the
Association for Middle East Women's Studies, nothing needs to be done
about female suicide bombers because they represent a good thing.
Indeed, in Cooke's perspective, when a Muslim woman blows herself up,
she exhibits her strength and manifests "agency" against colonial
powers.
And so, while women under the Palestinian death cult are forced into
suicide-killing, our society's leftist feminists stand idly by,
shrugging their shoulders with callous indifference and inhuman apathy.
These self-appointed guardians of women's rights couldn't care less
about real and actual breathing women. That's because the tragic and
untimely death of Reem Al-Reyashi, who wanted to live, and the fate of
her two orphaned children, as well as the deaths of the four Israelis
Al-Reyashi killed, are soul-tearing realities that don't fit into the
morbid heartlessness of utopian ideals.
