Israel National News posts an article today that tells the tale of young peace activists who go to the Palestinian territories to protest the “occupation” by Israel but who end up as shotgun brides and rape victims to the people they’ve come to help.
Most female leftist European activists, writes Bello, are brainwashed in their youth into hating Israel, and then sent directly into Judea and Samaria, without spending a single night in Tel Aviv, lest they see civilian Israeli society for themselves and find that they like it. They are whisked off to Shechem, Jenin and other PA towns and housed in Arab educational or cultural facilities, or private homes. Local Arab girls are sent to befriend them and they have no choice but to trust them.
It is is easy, explains Bello, “to carry out a sexual crime against a foreign girl, in her first days away from her family, in a place where no police have ever visited. And this is what happens, and has happened.”
“I was told of such rape cases by women who are not Jewish: a female European leftist activist, a female Red Cross volunteer and a young Arab woman from Yafo,” he says. He says that he met these women when he carried out IDF reserve duty, and met them afterward as well. “They told me what goes on there, in the Palestinian villages, far from any prying eye.”
Think Rachel Corrie. Victims of their education and upbringing, some of these women end up being wives to the Palestinians and trapped by the patriarchal society. Some have escaped to Europe and told their stories, but according to the article, they’re silenced by the peace movement.
