Gaza Barbie Thinks Hamas Are Wonderful People

In the twisted theater of modern activism, few performers are as grotesquely out of touch as Ana María Alcalde, the self-styled "Barbie Gaza," a moniker that screams performative privilege rather than genuine solidarity.

This Spanish influencer, mother of six, and recent convert to Islam (now going by Hanan Alcalde) has catapulted herself into infamy by boarding the so-called "Freedom Flotilla" to Gaza, all while spewing denial about the horrific sexual violence perpetrated by Hamas on October 7, 2023.

How dare this pampered poser, cozying up to celebrities like Greta Thunberg, erase the trauma of real victims? It's not just ignorance; it's a vile betrayal of women everywhere, wrapped in a keffiyeh for Instagram likes.

Let's unpack this farce. Alcalde, with her picture-perfect life and zero skin in the game, had the audacity to claim that reports of Hamas's systematic rapes, mutilations, and gang assaults on Israeli women are unverified or exaggerated, as if the mountains of evidence from eyewitnesses, forensic reports, and international investigations are just Zionist fanfiction.

We're talking about atrocities documented by The New York Times, which uncovered patterns of rape and extreme brutality against women during the attacks.

The Guardian reported evidence of systematic sexual violence, including assaults on minors.

Even the U.S. Congress condemned it in a resolution, labeling Hamas's actions as war crimes.

But no, according to "Barbie Gaza," these horrors didn't happen or if they did, they're not worth acknowledging. Because why let facts ruin a good virtue-signal? As one critic aptly put it, denying sexual violence retraumatizes survivors, silences women, and gives a free pass to rapists.

Alcalde's flippant dismissal echoes the worst of rape denialism, akin to those who wave away #MeToo stories because they don't fit their narrative. And let's not forget the irony: She's sailing to "free Gaza" under Hamas rule, where LGBTQ+ people and women face brutal oppression, yet she's too busy polishing her halo to condemn the terrorists she's indirectly boosting. Her friendship with Thunberg? Just another prop in this sad spectacle, dragging a climate icon into the mud of moral relativism.

Sheryl Sandberg nailed it when she called out October 7 rape deniers like Alcalde: They need to see the truth, but apparently, Barbie's rose-tinted glasses are glued on.

Reports from Israeli women's rights groups, like the Dinah Project, detail how Hamas weaponized rape as a tool of terror, but Alcalde would rather play make-believe in her flotilla fantasy.

Alcalde isn't just wrong, she's complicit in normalizing evil.In the end, "Barbie Gaza" is nothing more than a hollow doll in the activism toybox: Pretty on the outside, empty and offensive within. Women deserve better than her brand of denialism. It's time to box her up and ship her back to reality, before she does more damage.
