‘Wonder Woman’ Gal Gadot Condemns Silence Over Women Being Raped, Kidnapped By Hamas

Opinion

The “Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot, who is originally from Israel, is lashing out at the public for staying silent about the women who are currently being raped and kidnapped by Hamas.

Gadot Sounds Off

“The world has failed the women of October 7th. We claim we stand against rape, violence against women,” Gadot wrote on Instagram. “We will not let women be victimized and then silenced. We say we believe women, stand with women, speak out for women.”

“On October 7th, the world witnessed Hamas carrying out its violent plans in real-time. Within hours of the October 7th attack, the first blood-chilling video emerged of Shani Louk being paraded naked and defiled by her proud assailants,” she continued. “Yet two months later women are still hostage to these rapists and the world has failed to call this situation what it is: an urgent emergency that demands a decisive response.”

“This is our moment as women and allies of women to act,” Gadot concluded. “I am beseeching all those who have done so much for women’s rights globally — from the U.N., to the human rights community to please join in the demand that Hamas release every single woman hostage immediately not after the next round of international mediation, not after another day. These women cannot survive another moment of this horror.”
