Don’t you dare look away from 7 October sexual atrocities, say Jewish women protestors
Group wear red-stained jogging pants in public demonstrations at women's history sites across London
A group of Israeli women staged a demonstration with a difference on Sunday — trying to explain the rapes and violence of 7 October to a British audience by using stories familiar to the British public.
Florit Shoihet, who is originally from Ashkelon, worked with a loose coalition of Israeli women living in the UK, together with some British Jews, under the banner of “Remember 7/10”, to mark the vicious Hamas attacks on southern Israel.
On Sunday, after attending a demonstration protesting against the indifference of the UN to the sexually abused female victims of October 7, around a dozen members of the Remember 7/10 group moved into Parliament Square.
There they dressed in clothing designed to attract attention — red-stained jogging pants to mimic the real-life blood-soaked clothes of those who had been raped and sexually assaulted by Hamas terrorists.
“We were holding signs including ‘Me Too Unless You’re A Jew’, ‘Remember 7/10’, and posters asking people to recognise the rapes that happened on that day. People were stopping by and talking to us and were very respectful — and we felt we made an impact”.
