28. I think the Palestinian women who are brutalized, beaten,
Edited on Wed Nov-02-05 11:31 PM by barb162
raped and killed by Palestinian men as I have shown in these above stories would all prefer the Israelis if they had ever been given a choice. There is nothing even approaching human rights for women in Palestinian society from divorce law on down. I wonder, for example, how many are committing suicide every year to get away from the wife-beater husbands. How many atrocities against women aren't even being reported. The one story I linked clearly stated the Palestinian legislature won't do anything about these human rights violations because the Islam religious don't want the fabric of society changed. It needs to be changed significantly.
The deck of cards is stacked against Palestinian women from the day they are born. There is terrible violence by Palestinian men against the women. How any progressive can support this violence is beyond me.

And that aint poppycock!
