“Palestinian women suffer genocide as their oppressors compete despite IOC rules banning nations from competing while violating international law.”
Is this necessary for the article? Are we going to ignore Palestine’s incessant violations of international law? No mention of the Iranian gender apartheid? No mention of the challenges Muslim women suffer all over the world, but this one specific line had to be put in there?
I love your articles for the perspective of a clearly pro-Palestine author that is well researched and willing to discuss. But I must say at some point the one-sidedness gets old. This is a beautiful article that could have been so much more had it focused on the topic at hand or been more fair in its perspective of the mis-treatment of Muslim women.
Why are we only calling out the violation of IOC rules on one side and not the other? Why not mention that Palestinian women are (I am only imagining here, as I do not know for sure) trapped between a war enemy and their own government oppressing them? Why not call out all other Muslim countries for their treatment of women?
I get what you’re saying, but why mention the IDF war crimes (which are not specifically targeted at women) but ignore the challenges Muslim women face at the hand of their own governments/religious leaders? And if the war crimes are relevant, why not mention the over 1k missiles launched by Hamas since Oct 7th from civilian areas in order to force Israel to literally blow up civilians as their only way to defend against said attacks?
Your Islamophobia is exceeded only by your ignorance to international law and the situation in occupied Palestine. Read up. I suggest Edward Said, a Palestinian Christian scholar, is a good place to start.
So now questioning your writing is Islamophobia (much like criticizing the state of Israel is anti-semitism). I do not want to distract from the main point of your article as it is an important one, so I will end this exchange here. I will check out the author recommended.

Yes it was necessary because it calls out a violation of IOC rules. What about that is bothersome, I don’t understand?
