I am deeply sick at heart when I think of the dozens if not hundreds of Israeli women who were sexually assaulted on October 7 and beyond, for those in captivity. Women whose lives had once been occupied with the kinds of things that occupy most women: homes, families, children, careers, religion, politics, what to
