Video - Zionism is Synonymous with Feminism.

Why do they condemn Israel for its treatment of women while they ignore the way the rest of the Middle East treats women? Where are the feminist groups on these issues? Why are they not standing up for Israel?

Every woman in the Middle East would love to be in Israel, where she can be free to rule herself and her own life. She'll be permitted to wear whatever she chooses, work in any profession she wants, marry whoever she so desires, and be granted equal rights and protections under the law.

So UN, and US State Department, why are you criticizing Israel?

Anti-Israel activists, what are you? Sexist?
