Feminists for Hamas
Western feminists remain silent as female hostages were released by Hamas
Sunday, as three female hostages were finally released by Hamas, the silence from Western feminists was deafening.
Over the last 470 days, so-called American feminist leaders have publicly and proudly aligned themselves with Hamas, all while ignoring the horrors inflicted on innocent women during and after the October 7th attacks. Women who had spent the previous night dancing at a peace-themed music festival—only to be raped, murdered, and paraded through the streets of Gaza as trophies—were abandoned by the progressive left’s most prolific female activists.
This betrayal was no accident but a deliberate position taken by modern American feminists, who now spend their days waxing poetic about their hatred for America, Israel, capitalism, and colonialism. The modern feminist movement has traded its original mission of championing equality for an obsession with dismantling Western civilization, abandoning the very women they claim to support.
Followers of this toxic wave of feminism have been duped into viewing global conflicts through the simplistic, racialized social justice lens of "oppressor vs. oppressed" or “colonizer vs. colonized.”
They claim that America is irredeemable for its history of slavery (despite having abolished it in 1865), while ignoring China’s ongoing forced labor camps. A recent study from The Global Slavery Index (GSI) estimates that 5.8 million people were living in modern slavery in China on any given day in 2021.
If America’s past sins are truly unforgivable, how is it acceptable for China to have slaves in 2025?
This calculation was, of course, no mistake—the activists know exactly what they are doing, which countries are their allies, and which causes they should remain committed to. Through pathways of indoctrination, white guilt, and the normalization of anti-American trends in progressive messaging, many have knowingly or unknowingly aligned themselves with an ideology steeped in violence: the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical strain of Islam that fused with Nazism through their shared hatred of the Jewish people.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which serves as the ideological foundation of Hamas, has spent decades infiltrating institutions across the globe, blending propaganda with subversion under the guise of advocating for justice. Its aim has never been equality or peace, and certainly not the liberation of women, but the establishment of a world governed by Islamic law, as outlined in their Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America. This document, which was uncovered during the Holy Land Foundation trial, reveals the Brotherhood’s strategy of undermining Western society from within.
Organizations and individuals revered in progressive circles have fully embraced this ideology. Code Pink, one of the most recognized feminist political organizations in America, not only sided with Hamas, but once even sent delegations to strengthen their relationship with Hamas leaders. Linda Sarsour, America’s most prominent Muslim feminist, sided with Hamas. Nerdeen Kiswani, the face of NYC’s anti-Israel protests, of course, sided with Hamas.
Even female members of the NYC City Council—such as Tiffany Cabán, Alexa Avilés, Shahana Hanif, and Sandy Nurse—supported globalizing the intifada and attended protests at Columbia University, aligning with those who wish to bring this violent conflict to the very country they were elected to serve
The public is constantly told that it is important to support women of color in achieving positions of power, but what about when those women support violent revolution against the West by any means necessary? They are not fighting for a world that is safer for women; so why is it important for women, or men, to support them? Instead, they are helping to usher in the Muslim Brotherhood’s vision for America's collapse. They are laundering the narrative that it is acceptable to rape, kill, and kidnap women, then parade them through the streets while shouting "Allahu Akbar."
This is what globalizing the intifada looks like, and I've got a surprise for the girls wearing keffiyehs while protesting on college campuses: It's not gonna be good for women.
Let us recall the video from October 7th of Naama Levy. She was dragged by her long brown hair from the back of a Jeep, her gray sweatpants soaked with blood, barefoot, and limping. Her ankles were cut, her face beaten. Once Naama’s captor pulled her out of the trunk while pointing his gun in the sky, cars began to honk, civilians began to cheer, and the “innocent civilians” who democratically elected Hamas as their government began to celebrate.
This is the group that American feminists have aligned themselves with—terrorists who kidnapped women and children, including Americans.
It should come as no surprise that modern Western feminists have not only betrayed the women in Gaza but also throughout the Middle East. Where are Linda Sarsour and Nerdeen Kiswani when it comes to the women of Iran who are executed for showing a strand of hair? Where are their voices for Afghan women, banned from education and public life under the Taliban? Where is their outrage for the victims of mass rape and slavery in Sudan? Their silence signals that they have no problem with these atrocities because the Muslim Brotherhood has no problem with these atrocities.
This is the true ideological lens through which they see the world. Only when you realize this is when you will understand why American feminists chose to side with terrorists over women.
They have normalized anti-American and antisemitic sentiments under the banner of progressive activism, and they have been rewarded handsomely for it in the form of social media street cred, and praise from aligned politicians, media outlets, and foreign powers.
While Republicans are routinely forced to denounce the far-right fringes of their party, Democrats face no such accountability for anti-Western radicals among their own ranks, even when those radicals chant "Death to America" and wave terrorist flags on American soil. The modern feminist movement is no longer about women’s rights; it is about optics. The cost of those optics is the dignity of women who truly need support—many of whom currently live in countries with the worst women’s rights in the world
The Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) offers another insight into far-left movements and how easily, and quickly, they are repurposed.
The CJA was awarded a $50 million grant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for environmental justice initiatives, only to use their government funding and nonprofit structure to pivot to Palestine protests. Organizations like the CJA reveal how easily movements can be subverted and repurposed into something far removed from their original mission. The same is true of modern feminism. Framed as a fight for women’s liberation, it has become another vehicle for anti-Western hatred and subversion. In Code Pink’s case, American women are merely their target customer, when in reality, they are an extension of CCP interests.
It’s time for real feminists, the ones who truly care about women's rights to use their voices to treat this awful movement with the scorn it deserves. It’s time for women who enjoy their freedoms—who reveal their hair and wear whatever they want—to stop being the useful idiots of a movement that would gladly cover them in black garb and strip them of their civil rights. It’s time to look at the leaders of this movement and ask yourself whether they represent feminism or fanaticism.
Remember Naama Levy. Remember the women raped, tortured, and murdered on October 7th. Remember the silence of Western feminists.
Western feminists have made their choice. Now, it’s time for the rest of us to make ours.
