Violated and Ignored: Confronting the Crimes of October 7 with Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy
In this urgent and unflinching conversation, Dr. Cochav Elkayam-Levy joins Dr. Elana Heideman to confront one of the most painful and overlooked aspects of October 7: the targeted violence against women, and the world’s deliberate silence in its wake. Together, they explore the broader implications of this silence.
LISTEN TO THE PODCAST
Dr. Elkayam-Levy, a leading voice in international law and human rights, recipient of the 2024 Israel Prize in Solidarity, and chair of the Civil Commission investigating Hamas's crimes, offers legal, moral, and deeply personal insights into what these crimes mean for Israel, for the global feminist movement, and for humanity itself.
This is more than a conversation about war crimes. It is a wake-up call to reclaim truth, restore moral clarity, and insist that Jewish pain, and especially the suffering of Jewish women, is not invisible.
QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION:
- Why have so many international institutions refused to condemn gender-based atrocities?
- What does it reveal about the selective empathy and politicized morality of today’s world?
- How can we ensure that justice — and memory — are not buried beneath denial?
