FtW gets some blog bashing

FtW has been picked up on Jewish blogging, as "Follow the useful idiots". They have put it perfectly:

Note that the group didn’t plan to show solidarity with the women of Israel. And also note that now that they are in Syria, things aren't so calm in Beirut anymore. And it’s their current host who’s fomenting the violence.

With this in mind I'm surprised they've been so charitable to call us "useful".

It turns out a variety of people have actually tried to get Israeli women on board, contacting Women in Black and Women at Checkpoints among others, but with no joy. Detta puts it down to not finding anyone to take on the work, but a Dane suggests the problem may be with the determinedly anti-Israeli sentiment to be found everywhere attached to FtW. Pro-Palestinian is one thing; aggression puts peace-makers off.
