The haunting testimonies and harrowing stories stemming from the October 7th massacre continue to shock the world. These narratives reveal the depths of cruelty perpetrated by Hamas terrorists and the horrendous bloodshed they inflicted. Among the thousands of victims, the voices of hundreds of women, girls, and babies remain unheard, even as international bodies claim to represent and protect their rights.
One such organization is the United Nations Women's Organization, which released a comprehensive report on October 20th detailing the situation of women in Gaza during the conflict. In the days that followed, they published several more articles, all of which conspicuously omitted any mention of the horrors and abuses suffered by women, girls, and infants during the October 7th massacre in Israel. There were no calls for their release, no demands for intervention from the representatives of the Red Cross, and no acknowledgment of their dire condition.
Where is the feminist outrage? Where are the women's organizations? #MeToo_UNless_UR_a_Jew pic.twitter.com/CVypuJk4ot

On a fateful Sunday, an international campaign against the silence of UN Women, denoted by the hashtag #MeToo_UNless_UR_a_Jew, surfaced online. This campaign seeks to expose pertinent information regarding the plight of women in both Gaza and Israel while holding the UN accountable for its one-sided positions.
The campaign encompasses several facets, including outdoor signage set to appear in the coming days along major routes in Israel, with prominent displays on the Ayalon highway. Subsequently, the campaign plans to extend its reach to strategic locations in the US and Europe. It also boasts a strong digital presence on leading platforms, robust social media engagement, a trending hashtag, and a dedicated website with comprehensive information in English. Visitors are invited to sign a petition condemning the UN Women's Rights Organization for failing to denounce the war crimes committed against Israeli women during the October 7th massacre.
Moreover, the campaign features powerful videos featuring relatives of the murdered, raped, injured, and kidnapped women. These family members passionately condemn the UN Women's Organization for its disregard of the atrocities, categorizing the organization's actions as 'UNBelievable,' 'UNforgivable,' and 'UNJustified.'
The campaign's website outlines its primary objective—to gather one million signatures. This ambitious goal aims to convey a resounding message: the life of every woman, regardless of her location, holds equal importance. The world will not stand idly by in silence while such injustices persist.
Please everyone, stop everything you are doing right now and retweet this post!#MeToo_UNless_UR_a_Jew
