Merv Michaeli and Orna Barbiei didn't find time to tweet a word about the horrific rape case in Gedera - but Michaeli sent condolences for the earthquake in Turkey early in the morning


64-year-old Mohel, a resident of the Valleys region, is allegedly suspected of brutally raping his daughter for ten years!

A horrific and stomach-turning case, which exploded just last night.

No minister will go there.

The Minister of National Security appeared for the first time at the rape scene, in Gedra, only when the perpetrator was an Arab - even though the police still refuse to attribute a nationalist background to the incident.

Merav Michaeli and Orna Barbiei, the knights of women's rights, did not find time to tweet a word about the horrific case in which a mother was raped in front of her young children in a fence, after being threatened with murder if she did not keep quiet.

A horrific attack that will forever affect her soul and her home, which experienced an upheaval.

But at 08:56 in the morning, after the earthquake in Turkey, Michaeli showed up to tweet words of comfort in Hebrew to the Turkish people, who surely won't bother to read her important words.

It turns out that there are earthquakes that are less important.

Even in the women's lobby and the Deborah forum, they did not find that the horrific case of rape in the fence was worthy of attention.

Another case that made headlines showed the cynicism associated with the treatment of sexual injuries: activists, feminists, women from the left side of the map, who usually automatically hug victims of a crime - first of all, they doubted the version of the lawyer who claimed harassment on the part of Avi Hami.

Suddenly they don't believe her automatically.

casting doubt on her version.

Don't hug her.

Malicious motives are attributed to her.

Waving an accusing finger.

Her claims that she froze in place were ridiculed and doubted.

Tamar Zandberg and Zehava Galon - who in similar cases did not hesitate to attack powerful officials who were suspected of immorality or assaulting women who were under their control - filled their mouths with water.

We didn't come to judge anyone, but it's hard to miss the position.

Right and left make cynical use of vulnerability, depending on the political mood.

When the alleged offender tarnishes the protest on the reform of the justice system - thousands of people from the right side of the map are happy for Eid.

Not the victim is at the forefront of their minds, not her difficult feelings, shame and helplessness, but rather the joy that the story she told reproaches those who threatened their camp.

But when the attackers were from the right side of the map - they continued to walk in the beehive next to the Prime Minister and were invited to the studios, and almost no one protested.

When Haim Ramon, who was indicted on the suspicion that he kissed a young female officer without her consent, sits next to Ayla Hasson, who is in tears and in pain over the case of the injury to that lawyer - it is understandable that we have lost our brakes.

Hasson, without intending to, conveys a distorted message.

Is that officer's face less red than the lawyer's?

When it's appropriate - one can forgive the purveyors of the anonymous complaints at Beish Atid, or Meir Cohen, who was the subject of a disturbing investigation in "Ovda".

When it is less appropriate - they are shocked by Miri Regev who says that "there are no stomachaches over rape".

When sexual abuse becomes a political and cynical game - the struggle becomes polluted.

were we wrong

We will fix it!
