Journalist Bari Weiss has brought attention to the situation of 136 hostages in Gaza, including 20 young women and two babies, who have been held captive for 100 days. Among the hostages, Yossi Sharabi and Itai Svirsky have been reported dead. Weiss criticizes the silence and inaction of feminist groups and celebrity feminists, particularly on MLK day, in response to the reported sexual violence and murder by Hamas. She questions why these advocates, who are usually vocal in times of crisis, have said little to nothing about the plight of these Israeli hostages. The issue has been discussed in Weiss's YouTube video 'Why Are Feminists Silent on Rape and Murder?' and has generated calls for the hostages' release.
“The silence from some corners has been deafening.” @bariweiss calls out celebrity feminists and women’s rights organizations who “have said and done next to nothing about the murder, kidnap, and rape of Israeli girls.” https://t.co/tczKRdB0Uv
“What explains their silence—or worse, their downplaying or denial?” Why aren't celeb feminists, always the first to speak up in times of crisis, fighting for the release of women held hostage in Gaza? @bariweiss demands an answer on @thehonestlypod. https://t.co/tczKRdByK3

There are still 136 hostages in Gaza. Two of them are babies; close to 20 of them are young women. Why, asks @bariweiss, are the feminist groups you would expect to care most about these women and hostages silent? WATCH here: https://t.co/tczKRdB0Uv
