More cruelty from Israel, it's not surprising at this point sadly. So many Palestinian civillians have been victimised and killed by Israel and it's not going to stop anytime soon. The irony of a nation that was essentially born as a result of the horrors of WW2 succumbing to blatant human rights abuse is just really ****ing sad.

...as if it were a game, no feeling for humankind at all...all of them just turning and walking away without any care at all...apparently, reading through some of the tweets below...the soldier responsible was kicked out immediately and is under criminal investigation...

That's weird. It's the same incident, but the Israelis have blamed a woman for it, while a guy claimed he did it to his girlfriend.

Maybe it's the same kind of story as this:
It's a hoax, as are many stories of violence against Palestinians, but never a mention of Palestinian violence toward the only country in the Middle East where women are allowed to vote. Last edited by Livia; 05-11-2019 at 12:57 PM. |

I didn't watch the videos because tbh I find that sort of thing too upsetting but I just presumed it was a different incident because the first one says it a male Soldier and the second says a female Police Officer weird

...it did appear to be a female soldier as there was an investigation against her and she was dismissed...So sad that someone else would claim the action as if it was a thing to be proud of...

Whomever it was, being sacked for a hoax must be terrible.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-i...source=twitter
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel’s Supreme Court upheld a government decision to deport a Human Rights Watch (HRW) official accused of backing an international pro-Palestinian boycott campaign, an edict he said was aimed at stifling criticism of Israel. The court ratified an Interior Ministry refusal to renew the work visa of Omar Shakir, a U.S. citizen representing New York-based HRW in Israel and the Palestinian territories, and ordered him to leave within 20 days. Israel says he supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement which it has criminalized. It has lobbied Western powers to follow suit, and Shakir’s case was a test for its anti-boycott legislation. Shakir contested the argument that his past pro-Palestinian statements, before being appointed to the HRW post in 2016, constituted current backing for boycotts of Israel. “Israeli Supreme Court upholds my deportation over my rights advocacy,” Shakir tweeted about the unanimous decision by the three-judge court. He said that if the Israeli government forces him to leave, it will be joining Iran, North Korea and Egypt in blocking access for HRW officials monitoring rights violations. “We won’t stop. And we won’t be the last,” Shakir wrote. AIRBNB CONTROVERSY Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri said he was happy with the decision. “Anyone who acts against the country should know we will not allow them to work or live here,” he said. Before the ruling, HRW said Israel’s move against Shakir showed it was seeking to suppress rights criticism. HRW says it does not support boycotts of Israel. It has defended Shakir’s statements since joining, including a tweet backing online rental service Airbnb’s delisting a year ago of homes in Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank. Airbnb later reversed that decision after intense criticism from Israel and litigation in U.S. and Israeli courts. Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan said Israel granted hundreds of visas a year to rights activists and invited HRW to appoint a replacement for Shakir. Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian envoy to Britain and adviser to President Mahmoud Abbas, tweeted that the ruling was a “disgraceful but expected outcome because of international inaction”. Ayman Odeh, a senior politician representing Israel’s Arab minority, added on Twitter that deporting Shakir “only proves to us and to the world the extent to which his work is needed”.

Women can vote in Saudi and Yemen and all those other countries... So that's all okay then! I'm talking about real political freedom. And quite a few of those countries you mention are in Africa, not the Middle East. |

I suppose to understand, you have to know a little bit about the status of women in those "middle eastern" countries. Maybe you could Google that. It wasn't that long ago that you were surprised when I said about the anti-Semitism I'd experience, you told me that you didn't know that Jew-hate was a thing. You were actually surprised that people hate Jews. So I'm not comfortable continuing this conversation with you. |

Ok, no problem Livia, clearly you need to do a bit of googling yourself though before making incorrect statements like Israel is the only country in the Middle East where women can vote.
