The Taliban are erasing women from public life : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 19/11/2025

The call by many heads of state to end human rights violations often rings hollow as the violators in so many countries continue to commit such crimes with impunity.

Dr. Alon Ben-Meir writes "Under the Taliban, women have been effectively erased from public life, and virtually every aspect of their lives has come under severe restrictions".

Oh well, despite my personal dislike for the Taliban, at least they can get something right.

Personal opinion of mine you understand. Cheers all.

I should clarify that not all Jews act like NAZI's
- Or are committing crimes against humanity, but some Israelis are and many if not most support it.
They have an ends justifies the means terrorist mentality, that they are the eternal victims and that everything they do is justified.

There's a good video I watched yesterday.

Zionists Are Freaking Out About Losing Control Of The Narrative
http://youtu.be/l8RN5LEFYxU

(Partial video transcript below)

Former Obama speech writer Sarah Hurwitz made some very revealing remarks during an appearance at the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly on Sunday, expressing frustration with the way younger Jews are dismissing pro-Israel arguments because of the carnage they've seen in Gaza.
We are now wrestling with a new, I think, generational divide here. And I think that's particularly true in that social media is now our source of media. Hurwitz said, "It used to be that the news you got in America was American media, and it was pretty mainstream. You know, it generally didn't express extreme anti-Israel views. You had to go to a pretty weird bookstore to find global media and fringe media. But today, we have social media, which is the global medium. Its algorithms are shaped by billions of people worldwide who don't really love Jews. So while in the 1990s a young person probably wasn't going to find Al Jazzera or someone like Nick Fuentes, today those media outlets find them. They find them on their phones. It's also this increasingly postitate media. Less and less text, more and more videos. So you have Tik Tok just smashing our young people's brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza. And this is why so many of us cannot have a sane conversation with younger Jews because anything that we try to say to them, they're hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments and they are just seeing in their minds carnage and I sound obscene. End quote.

Hurwitz went on to say that Holocaust education has begun backfiring because it has been giving young people the wrong impression that genocide is always bad. And you know, I think unfortunately the very smart bet that we made on Holocaust education to serve as anti-semitism education in this new media environment, I think that is beginning to break down a little bit because, you know, Holocaust education is absolutely essential, but I think it may be confusing some of our young people about anti-semitism, Hurwitz said, because they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews, and they think, oh, anti-semitism is like anti-black racism, right? Powerful white people against powerless black people. So when on TikTok all day long they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, it's not surprising that they think, "Oh, I know the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people." End quote.

Oh boy, lots to unpack here.
It's just so fascinating to see a former White House speech writer making so many of the points that anti-Zionists have been making for years, but taking the exact opposite meaning from them. The mainstream legacy media has always hidden anti-Israel views from the public, and that was a good thing. Social media has now given Palestinians the ability to expose the truth about Israel's abuses, and that's a bad thing.

People aren't falling for the Zionist spin and narrative diddling anymore because they've seen the carnage in Gaza with their own eyes. And that's a problem. People who learned from Holocaust education that genocide is wrong have been applying those same lessons to the genocide in Gaza. And this means they are confused.
Hurwitz isn't denying Israel's abuses or framing its genocidal atrocities as the problem. She's just coming right out and saying that people obtaining information and moral clarity about those abuses is the problem. The atrocities aren't wrong. What's wrong is people seeing those atrocities and calling them what they are.
I love the way she complains that she looks obscene for trying to lay out arguments and narratives justifying the Gaza Holocaust for people who've seen the wall of carnage from the genocide. I mean, yes. Yes, obviously you're going to look obscene if you try to tell someone why raw video footage of massacres, mutilated children, and emaciated bodies is actually showing something that is justifiable and acceptable. You can't stand in front of a pile of child corpses justifying their murder and then whine when people ignore your spin meistering and keep staring at the tiny bodies. That's like murdering an entire family and telling the cops, "But you're not listening to my reasons for killing them. They are doing the normal thing while you are being obscene."

Dear Critic,

From your various responses here, it seems that you care a lot for the suffering of women under the Taliban...

I do care deeply and wish Australia never left there before first bringing all Afghan women out to safety and freedom.
