A horrible fact of life is that women worldwide, are devalued and attempts to control what we think and do, exist everywhere. Why the hyperfocus on Palestinian women? How about addressing the widespread sexual harassment and rapes of Israeli women, including reservists of the Israeli Occupation Force? How about referring to statistics from the UK , where at least 2 women a week are murdered in domestic violence ... .

You probably know that the USA breaks all records for violence, murder and paedophilia by males against women and girls.

Rape is a capital offence in most Muslim countries; here in the UK, less than 2 percent of rape allegations result in a conviction, and the punishment is just a short time in prison.

Honor killings are terrible and must cease, but there are no less acts of terror against women in the so-called 'developed world'.

And I haven't even begun to mention the high rates of rape wherever there are occupation forces /military bases of the USA (without whom Israel would not even exist).
