Thousands of Palestinians were forcefully evicted South while Israel continued to target hospitals and refugee camps amid protestors across the world calling for a ceasefire. According to Palestinian officials, at least 11,078 Gazans have been killed in air and artillery strikes since October 7, majority of them children, women, and the elderly, as of Friday.<\/p>\n

As per Al Jazeera<\/em>, power failure at neonatal intensive care unit at Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital resulted in the tragic deaths of two premature babies while risking the lives of 37 other infants in the neonatal unit amid dwindling fuel reserves as incubators cease operation.<\/p>\n

Responding to the news, author and columnist Fatima Bhutto, who has repeatedly called out Israel\u2019s intensifying persecution of Palestinians, posted a series of quote replies, slamming \u201cpop-feminists\u201d for their selective outrage, comparing their response to acts of violence perpetrated against white people with their silence on Israel\u2019s apartheid.<\/p>\n

The author penned, \u201cEvery female celeb under the sun wore a woman life freedom T-shirt, wore Times Up badges, and stood alongside a racist French magazine, wearing Charlie Hebdo accessories. And yet have said nothing, utter silence, on the women whose babies are left to die without oxygen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fatima called out the cherry-picking of humanitarian causes, contending, \u201cWhen these pop-feminists speak about \u2018feminism\u2019, ask them what they said about this- forever. Let their failure of humanity haunt them so they never speak about women or rights or freedom again.\u201d<\/p>\n

When these pop-feminists speak about \u201cfeminism\u201d ask them what they said about this- forever.

She furthered on, \u201cI hope they just wear their dresses and nice shoes and pose for pictures on red carpets. They aren\u2019t capable of anything more than that.\u201d In another post, Fatima continued her diatribe, stating, \u201cTell me the names of all the feminists who have said one word about this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can count them on one hand, maybe two. The rest are frauds, performative feminists, attention seekers,\u201d the columnist asserted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
