She questioned how Western feminists could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-majority-leader-ends-call-with-republican-reps-on-killing-president-trumps-demand-for-2000-checks-after-being-outed\/\" title=\"House Majority Leader Ends Call With Republican Reps On Killing President Trump\u2019s Demand for ,000 Checks After Being Outed\">remain silent<\/a> when women and girls\u2063 are subjected to \u2063rape, torture, and \u2063humiliation by \u2064bearded men \u2062shouting &#8220;Allah Akbar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today, I \u2063have a\u200d question.

She \u2064questioned why their lips were sealed and their hearts seemingly indifferent to the excruciating pain endured by Jewish\u200b women.<\/p>\n<p>Referencing the #MeToo movement, Kanko argued that it only cared about\u2062 victims who fit a specific narrative,\u2062 disregarding those who \u2064didn&#8217;t. She accused \u2062the movement \u200band so-called intersectional feminists \u200bof betraying their commitment\u200b to\u2064 women&#8217;s rights by remaining silent on \u200bthese atrocities, effectively supporting the oppressor rather than the victims.<\/p>\n<p>Kanko also criticized the European Union&#8217;s indirect financial support for\u2064 Hamas and called out those who \u200battacked Israel for its strategic \u200bresponse to the brutal attacks. \u200dShe concluded her speech by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scalise-tough-joe-manchin-can-handle-dems-backlash\/\" title=\"Scalise: 'Tough' Joe Manchin Can Handle Dems' Backlash\">rejecting calls<\/a> for a ceasefire and demanding the return \u200bof Israeli hostages and justice for Hamas.

She expressed her \u200cdisappointment and disbelief that feminists, who claim to fight for women&#8217;s rights \u2064and equality, remain silent when it comes to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/j-k-rowling-gives-no-quarter-to-hamas-defenders-sniveling-apologists-for-rape-murder-and-torture\/\" title=\"J.K.

In her speech, she emphasized the importance of consistency in standing up \u2064for women&#8217;s rights, stating that feminism should not be selective or \u2064biased based on political \u200daffiliations.<\/p>\n<p>Kanko criticized the double standards displayed by Western feminists, who often choose to ignore the plight of women victimized by non-Western entities. She highlighted the\u2064 hypocrisy of\u200d focusing solely on issues \u2063in Western \u2064societies while\u2064 turning a \u2064blind eye to the suffering of women\u200d in other parts of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200b journalist questioned why Western feminists remain silent on the atrocities committed by Hamas, despite their loud voices in advocating for women&#8217;s rights. She accused these feminists of being more concerned with maintaining a political agenda\u2062 rather than genuinely \u2063championing women&#8217;s equality.<\/p>\n<p>Kanko&#8217;s call to action extended beyond Western feminists, urging all women and men who believe in equality and human rights to speak\u2063 out\u200d against the \u2062atrocities committed by Hamas. She emphasized the need for a unified approach, transcending political, cultural, and geographical boundaries, in order to effectively combat violence against women.<\/p>\n<p>In her speech, Kanko also stressed the \u2062importance of acknowledging the impact of Hamas atrocities on both Israeli and\u2062 Palestinian women. She emphasized that standing up against violence does not mean \u200dtaking sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but rather defending the rights and dignity of all women affected.<\/p>\n<p>Through her powerful speech, Assita Kanko aimed to shed \u200blight on the silence of Western feminists in the face of Hamas atrocities. She challenged them to be\u200d true advocates for women&#8217;s rights by condemning violence perpetrated by \u200cany \u200dgroup or organization,\u200c regardless of political affiliations. Kanko&#8217;s message resonates not only with feminists but with all\u200c individuals who \u200cvalue human rights and equality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Belgian journalist and activist Assita Kanko criticized &#8220;Western feminists&#8221; for their silence regarding the Hamas terrorist group&#8217;s brutal acts against Israeli civilians, particularly women.
