I knew something was wrong with the left when feminists I knew personally, people who had fought alongside me for abortion access, were dismissing a video of a terrified young woman, taken prisoner by Hamas, being dragged from the back of a Jeep at gunpoint, her pelvic area covered in blood, as “not rape” and “legitimate resistance.”
I watched people who had worked with me on social media harassment policy cheer as terrorists in paragliders slaughtered civilians at the Supernova festival. And I saw a propaganda machine start to spin up and rebrand the perpetrators of Oct. 7 as the victims of Oct. 7.
