ANTI-ISRAELISTS CONSIDER IT PERFECTLY LEGITIMATE FOR MUSLIMS TO RAPE NON-MUSLIM ACTIVISTS

Phyllis Chesler writes on News Real Blog about something that I first noticed in Makor Rishon a few months ago: women who took part in leftist demonstrations against Israel, in support of palestinians, and yet, they were sexually harrassed, raped, and taken hostage in forced marriage by Muslims. And yes, even forced to convert to Islam. And their leftist directors and leaders make no attempt to help them whatsoever, treating them as expendable. This article gives more details:
Two activists have exposed a disturbing phenomenon that they say is an open secret within the “peace camp”: female “peace” activists are routinely harassed and raped by the Arabs of Judea and Samaria with whom they have come to identify. They say the phenomenon has gotten worse lately and that many foreign women end up as wives of local Arabs against their will, but cannot escape their new homes.

Roni Aloni Sedovnik, a feminist activist, penned an article in News1 – an independent website run by respected investigative reporter Yoav Yitzchak – under the heading “The Left's Betrayal of Female Peace Activists Who were Sexually Assaulted.”

“A nauseous atrocity has been going on for a long time behind the scenes at the leftists' demonstration at Bil'in, Naalin and Sheikh Jarrah [Shimon HaTzaddik],” she writes. “A dark secret that threatens to smash the basic ideological values upon which the demand to end the occupation of the Territories rests.”

It turns out, she explains, that when female peace activists from Israel and abroad come out to Judea and Samaria and demonstrate against the Israeli “occupation,” they are assaulted sexually by the Arab men whom they have come to help. These are not isolated incidents, Aloni-Sedovnik stresses. Rather, this is an “ongoing and widespread” phenomenon that includes verbal and physical abuse. She accuses the 'peace' camp of purposely covering up the trend so as not to offend “the Palestinians and their heritage, which sees women as sexual objects.”

Media cover-up
Aloni-Sedovnik cites two specific cases which she has knowledge of – one is a case of rape and another is “severe sexual harassment.” The attackers in both cases, she stresses, were familiar with the victims and knew that they were “peace activists.”

The rape occurred several months ago in the village of Umm Salmona, near Bethlehem. The victim, an American activist, wanted to press charges but leftist activists put pressure on her not to do so, so as not to damage the struggle against the 'occupation.'

The second case involved an Israeli activist who took part in the demonstrations at Shimon HaTzaddik neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem, where the High Court ruled that Jewish families may move into homes that they have owned for generations. This woman filed a complaint with the police but retracted it after “severe and unfair pressure” from the demonstrations' organizers, according to Aloni-Sedovnik. Furthermore, the organizers appealed to demonstrators to dress modestly when they come to the Arab neighborhoods and suggested that they wear head scarves.

Aloni-Sedovnik accuses the Israeli media of complicity in the cover-up.
Read the rest of the article. I think this is proof perfect why women shouldn't even be politically active in movements like these, if they're going to lead to their slavery. Here's some advice: any woman who goes through an experience like this must distance herself from the "peace movement" she was taking part in immediately, and not only that, when pressing charges, she must issue a subpoena for the organizers to testify, if they refused to help her. If the "peace activists" are going to betray their own members, then they must be held accountable as complicit in a crime, which they are indeed.
