Palestine Today

[rylah]

Palestinians protest against a new settlement outpost built on lands belonging to the village of Kafr Malik, near the central West Bank city of Ramallah, on 16 August.

Arab Palestinians protest against Jews living on lands in Area C, under full Israeli control.


There I fixed it for you.

Actually no new village has been built there for the last 20 years,
they're just crisis actors, blocking roads to get attention for the cameras,
it's a job these days.

Ugh.

You've heard the expression, "Men are afraid women will laugh at them; women are afraid men will kill them"?

I posted elsewhere this week, "Arabs are afraid Jews will live near them; Jews are afraid Arabs will kill them".

Shouldn't that be naturally the opposite?

Honor Killing: Israa Gharib murder sparks protests

Murdered by her own family in the hospital,
where she was admitted with spine injuries following her post and fall from the balcony,
which she initially survived.

All because of a picture with a man on social media.

I think we need to be really, REALLY, careful about making "honor" killing exclusive to a particular group. Femicide exists in almost every culture. Details vary. Foundations are mostly the same.

RE: Palestine Today
⁜→ rylah, et al,

Yes, this is a good beginning towards Arab Palestinian Reformation of peaceful values. But, I'm not convinced that the Arab Palestinians really want peace.

On April 26, 2019, ... The villagers stated in the appeal that armed "rabble" headed by "an influential individual in Ramallah district" had burst into the village, and that gunmen had fired their weapons and thrown rocks and firebombs at their homes, shouting "racist and sectarian" ISIS-like slogans, including demands that they pay jizya – the poll tax levied on Christians and Jews living under Muslim rule as a protected and subjugate class.

◈ The residents called on Shtayyeh to bring the attackers to justice in order to deter others from similar actions against them.

◈ The message also stressed that the villagers were PA citizens with the same rights and responsibilities as other citizens, and protested against the attackers' use of the term "immigrant community" against them.​

◈ and were it not for the general national consciousness and the responsible outlook among the majority, the cycle of sectarian violence would spread [with each new incident].

◈ "Anyone who thinks that our country is immune to sectarianism is mistaken. We are no wiser than the Syrians, the Lebanese, or the Iraqis, who destroyed their lands with their own hands for the sake of stupid sectarian slogans.

✪ Simply put, those lands have ethnic and sectarian diversity, and their sectarian leaders' coordination with the hostile foreign plots lit in them the fuse of civil war, until these lands were completely destroyed...​

Palestinian Writer Reacts To Violent Incident Against Christian Residents of Village In Palestinian Authority: It's Not Unusual – And It's An Indicator Of The ISIS Demon In Us All

(COMMENT)

hostile foreign plots lit in them the fuse of civil war​

Well, I don't believe that these foreign hostile elements advocating condition that will result in Civil War are generated from the Western Alliances. Certainly, no member of the "Quartet" want an internal conflict that will only weaken them → making them that much more vulnerable for another takeover. And that will move the Arab Palestinansthat much deeper into the abyss of regional politics.

It looks more like the ISIS and Iran (to name a couple).

But! It is not likely that the general population is going to fix their geed based government.

I think the point rylah is making is that between Israeli and Palestinian society, honor killings are far more likely to happen in the Palestinian territories, and these are the kind of ppl that Israel has to deal with. Yes, honor killings take place in many more countries, like India for instance, but they're not the subject here. This is the Israel/Palestine Board.

Today marks the anniversary of the death of the Palestinian cartoonist Naji Al-Ali who was assassinated in London in 1987. Al-Ali was noted for the political criticism of the Arab regimes and Israel in his works. Handala is his most famous character which has become an iconic symbol of Palestinian identity and defiance.

Occupied Haifa? That city is within Israel proper, and not considered occupied by anyone in the international community, with the possible exception of Iran.
