No Woman Left Behind: The Global Feminist Betrayal of Israeli Victims – The American Spectator | USA News and PoliticsThe American Spectator

This year’s International Women’s Day (marked on March 8) should be about justice for women like Shiri Bibas — a mother whose brutal abduction, with her two red-haired babies, became one of the most haunting images of Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack. For 503 agonizing days, Shiri’s fate remained unknown.
