Much earlier in the 21st century, at a conference on antisemitism in Montreal, Israeli Minister Natan Sharansky took me aside and asked me whether I thought I could "turn around the feminists, gays, and leftists on Israel and Judaism." I answered: "I'll try but I doubt it."

And so I did in countless articles and speeches and meetings. What Minister Natan did not understand was that the feminism I knew, and still stand by, no longer existed, that about 35 – 40 years ago, a faux-feminism had arisen in its place, one in which anti-racism trumped anti-sexism; gender identity trumped sex-based realities; woman-centered issues were no longer as important as an anti-Western worldview. Stalinism reigned and feminists et al. were more concerned with historical Western crimes than with even greater contemporary and ongoing crimes being committed in the non-Western world, particularly in the Muslim world.

The feminist academy has been totally "Palestinianized." (I wrote about this so long ago.) "Palestine" became the symbol for the most sacred of victims--not women who were being genitally mutilated, publicly and repeatedly gang-raped, forcibly married, buried alive in burqas, and honor murdered. Women were being erased as were crimes against women.

In the years that followed, feminists, leftists, lesbians, and gay individuals and mobs in America raged and demonstrated against Israel/Zionism on the streets, at conferences, at gay marches, in classrooms, in essays and in books. Their view was diabolically paradoxical given that Israel is the only country in the Muslim Middle East in which gays and leftists enjoy freedom of speech, equal employment and housing rights, may adopt children, can serve in the IDF, and, quite simply, are not tortured or lynched for announcing or practicing their same-sex practices. Israel does recognize same-sex marriages and unions, but only if they are performed abroad.

Contrast this with how gays are treated in most Arab and Muslim countries. Although so many Muslim men are gay, nevertheless it is considered shameful, even sinful, and must be kept secret. It is punished by death--or with any luck, flight and exile.

Nevertheless, feminists, leftists, and gays have all glamorized radical political Islam—yes, even Islamic gender apartheid, even Islamic terrorism--and have condemned Israeli freedoms as "pinkwashing"-- a way to focus attention away from the alleged "apartheid," "genocide," and "occupation," of which Israel has been accused.

Crazy, yes? But, if one lives long enough, miracles can occur, pendulums do sometimes swing.

Thus, seemingly suddenly, a new group arose that called themselves "Feminists Against Antisemitism." Of course, we are in contact. And, on Sunday, January 11th, I watched their first webinar panel, which was excellent, a great good start, and which discussed the rise of antisemitism among feminists and leftists in both the UK and America.

They've asked to conduct an interview with yours truly, which I am pleased, actually very proud to do. I've been preparing for such a feminist-on-feminist conversation for the last 54 years and in the last week, rather intensely. I want to share a political perspective that may prove useful in terms of their being prepared for all the blowback and real dangers that attend all fact-based truth tellers and resistance fighters. I also want to be personal, to set the historical record straight on what can and indeed has happened to American feminists, lesbians, and leftists, including myself, when we stand up against anti-Israel Soviet propaganda; the UN's influence in terms of equating Zionism with Racism; and all the politically correct party lines, decade after decade, that alone can explain the enormous feminist silence after 10/7. And much, much more.

I hope you can join us. Below, please find the information you'll need in order to do so.
