Personally, I have been shocked at how many within my circle of feminist friends and relatives have bought into the oppressor/oppressed narrative and some (I'd like to think only a small minority) even seem supportive of Hamas. Many are anti-Israel and although they say they are anti-Zionist, they don't seem to support Israel's right to exist. I have one close friend in Melbourne whose views align with mine, but she is dumbfounded that her nieces are right-on with the weekly protests and don't accept the legitimacy of Israel. I've had so many tell me that the conflict didn't start on 7th October, but back in 1948. I hope your daughters are okay and that the younger one, if she does want to go to university, can find somewhere that values free speech, critical thinking, and respectful disagreement.
