In honor of International Women’s Day (March 8th, 2024), I would like to remind the world that this is day 153 of 19 innocent women still being held hostage in Gaza by Hamas. Today and everyday, we cannot be silent and let this continue. These women and all 134 hostages deserve to come home now.
Please help by contacting your elected officials wherever you live. If you are in the US, go to https://t.co/gqkfa1HkQb and everywhere else, go to https://t.co/5AgXIDLPPX to demand the immediate release of our hostages.

The United Nations have concluded that Hamas raped and sexually tortured women on October 7th
They also raped corpses
They have been raping kidnapped girls
Some of you have disgraced yourselves for the rest of your lives by championing or justifying this terror group
The Christian Super Bowl Ad They SHOULD Have Made
A group known as 'He Gets Us' released an advert during the Super Bowl which, whilst perhaps well intentioned, failed to convey anything of the gospel to the hundreds of millions who saw it.
Here's my take on what they should have done.
#HeSavesUs
Are they are alive ?! If they are why didn’t #HamasISIS release them when in the 1st waves. Taking care of babies is complicated in the tunnels. @antonioguterres why are you silent ?!!!

Last week, I wrote an op-ed about the silence of women's groups & int'l organizations, in the face of the mass rape and sexual assault of Israeli women by Hamas terrorists on Oct 7.
Sadly, not a single mainstream publication was willing to publish it. So I am posting it here!

Me Too, Unless You’re a Jew?
By Arsen Ostrovsky
As a father of girls, I have no more sacrosanct duty in life, than the protection of my daughters, and as a human rights lawyer, I have proudly stood with women, advocating for greater equality.
Yet I have been utterly devastated at the abject silence and cold indifference of international organizations and women’s rights groups, following the unprecedented massacre perpetrated by Hamas against Israeli women and girls.
A devasting picture is rapidly emerging of horrific mass rape, torture and mutilation inflicted by Hamas terrorists upon young children, girls, women, even babies and the elderly.
One Israeli morgue worker said how there is evidence of widespread rape of so brutal that the terrorists “broke their victims’ pelvis – women, grandmothers, children.”
In another instance, first responders found a pregnant woman who was murdered, shot in the head, with her stomach cut wide open and her unborn baby still being connected to the umbilical cord.
In Kibbutz Be’eri, a place I visited personally a number of times following the massacre, a paramedic recounted how he found the bodies of two teenage girls in a bedroom, still lying in a pool of blood. They were raped, beaten and executed by Hamas. However, the paramedic was still unsure if they were raped first or executed and then raped.
Young girls, the bodies mutilated, paraded like trophies on the streets of Gaza.
There are countless more stories like this of the most unimaginable evil.
In addition, there are now also at least 240 hostages, that Hamas is holding captive in Gaza. At least 100 of them are women and young girls, with one even reported to have given birth, while in captivity. Thankfully some of them now are reportedly being released.
Yet despite this overwhelming evidence of the brutal, heinous mass rape and assault against Israeli women and kidnapping of young girls, the so-called enlightened voices of the west and self-proclaimed feminist groups, have been virtually silent.
Where is UN Women’s agency, the primary UN body tasked with ending violence against women? Silent.
Where is the Women’s March, which started to support women’s rights and create awareness against sexual abuse, harassment and rape of women? Silent.
How about members of The Squad? They don’t waste a breath to preach about Palestinian women’s rights, but are conspicuously silent here.
What does their silence convey?
Are the rights of Israeli women and girls not deserving of their attention? Is the kind of abominable behavior by Hamas to be condoned or excused? Or is it really ‘Me Too’ … unless you’re a Jew?
In case it needs to be reiterated, rape and sexual assault in armed conflict is a grave war crime under international law. The Geneva Conventions clearly state that “women shall be especially protected against any attack on their honour, in particular against rape … or any form of indecent assault,” while the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court deems the rape or sexual violence against women in armed conflict, both a war crime and crime against humanity.
That is why we made rape and the sexual assault against women, a pivotal part of our war crimes claim against Hamas, submitted last month to the International Criminal Court.
But the world has been mostly silent about these heinous Hamas crimes against girls and women.
Worse yet, some have even sought to perversely ‘contextualize’ it.
In an essay titled ‘The Compass of Mourning’, published in the days immediately after the Hamas massacre, Judith Butler, a leading American philosopher and gender studies scholar, claimed that Hamas’ actions need to be looked at “in context”.
No. There is never a ‘context’ to the wanton rape, defilement and sexual violence of women, full stop.
Sickeningly, there is now also a rape-denial movement growing as well. The director of the Sexual Assault Center as Canada’s University of Alberta, for example, was just fired, after the director signed an open letterdenying that women were raped and sexually assaulted during the Hamas terror wave.
What kind of message does it send when these so-called women’s groups and UN agencies are silent as Israeli girls are raped in the beds of their homes or women’s organs are mutilated?
How can one have such callous indifference, as children and elderly women are taken hostage and held captive in the dungeons of Gaza?
And what of those supposedly enlightened and educated voices, who seek to ‘contextualize’ toddlers being ripped apart from their mothers arms or the gang rape of women by sadistic Hamas monsters?
Are you really saying that the life of an Israeli girl or woman is worth less? Shame on you, your hypocrisy, and worst of all, the attempt to justify the unjustifiable.
History will forever record your silence, indifference and utter irrelevance.
An American mom whose child is being held hostage in Gaza by Palestinian terrorists delivered the most caustic speech. It hurts but you need to put yourself through it.
Exciting news! Today kicks off our Fall campaign—a fresh start to make a difference and save innocent lives. Let's unite in standing for life and fervently pray for the end of abortion. 🍂🕯️🙏 #FallCampaign#ProLife
We need to talk... about Pride flags.
If you accuse organizations of the phobias for NOT flying a pride flag, you are not adopting a position where we are free to fly flags. You’ve created a position of coercion, where those who do not bow to your demand are deemed guilty of holding beliefs or positions that they’ve never spoken or expressed.
When we're unhealed, we're attracted to the "bad boy," chaotic, or unpredictable people. They give us the hit of adrenaline our body craves that we call passion. They allow us to play our familiar role of working or proving ourselves to be loved, just as we did as children. As we heal, we're attracted to safe predictable people whose words match their actions. Who show us love beyond survival mode.
When a deranged gunman targeted a mosque in Christchurch, the media called it Islamophobia.
When it was Jews in a synagogue, they called it Antisemitism.
So why, when Christian kids are murdered by a trans nut, do they just label it as a mass shooting?
It was a terror attack.
🧵THREAD: Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top-paid US federal employee, has developed bioweapons for the Pentagon since 2002. In 2014, Obama shut down 18 of Fauci's gain-of-function experiments after lab leaks, and 300 top scientists complained about his dangerous bioweapons research.
They fkd with my kids.
It's not me, they fkd with me my whole life and I withstood.
But they fkd with my kids, they fkd with their lives, they fkd with their futures, they fkd with their present.
They fkd with the wrong people.
Name another protest that has so many emotional videos such as this one, because you can’t. Thank you to all the Truckers & everyone Involved in the greatest protest for freedom Canada may ever see.
