Starhawk on Gaza: “I Just Don’t Get It…Or Rather, I Do.”


As the crisis in Gaza continues, as always when it comes to discussing war and conflict, the voices most silenced are those of women. One of the wise female voices that we should be listening to in trying to forge a path of peace is Starhawk who, in the analysis below excerpted from an essay received via e-mail, accurately and eloquently explains the horrific consequences of invisibilizing that is done with state sanction in the name of religious imperative :

1. K & R - thank you for posting this.

I received this essay in my e-mail a couple of days ago, but somehow never thought to post it on DU.

Edited to add: I'm going to TRY to recommend it anyway! I just saw a post saying I can't recommend threads in this forum. When I replied to it, the post was in GD. It appears that ANY post on the subject of I/P is being moved to the dungeon as soon as it gets posted. Frustrating as all hell!
