Clare Daly (The Left). – Mr President, I voted for this file because when the EU delegation goes to the UN Commission on the Status of Women in March, I want them to raise a few priorities. Priorities like war and its effect on women. How about the women in Gaza, where women and children make up 70% of its victims. No doctor, no midwife, no nurse to support women during labour, no pain medication, no anaesthesia. Women have to use tent scraps to soak up their postpartum bleeding.
Two mothers killed by Israel every hour, tens of thousands of babies and children without their mothers’ warm arms to hold them. Thousands have been left to scream and cry while they watched their mothers die in front of them. Women crushed by the most unimaginable grief, without a moment to recover, watching their children starve, but for the cruise missile feminists in here, there seems to be no fellow feeling – they want the atrocities to continue. That’s not feminism; it is an abomination. I don’t know if God will forgive them, but I and millions of others certainly won’t.
