Why Palestinians Need Their Own Homeland

Palestinians need their own homeland so they can be exposed to the international community as the world's lowliest barbarians. People need to understand why no other Arab nation wants to give them a home. People need to understand that this is a culture that should be wiped from the face of the earth. Let the Palestinians be Palestinians and there will be no doubt that their culture is an abomination.

Anthropologist James Emery explained in 2003, how “among Palestinians, all sexual encounters, including rape and incest, are blamed on the woman.” Men are always presumed innocent and the responsibility falls on the woman or girl to protect her honor at all costs. When 17-year-old Afaf Younes ran away from her father after he allegedly sexually assaulted her, she was caught and sent home to him. He then shot and killed her to protect his honor. And when a four-year-old toddler was raped by a 25 year-old man in 2002, her Palestinian family left her to bleed to death because her rape had dishonored the family. Emery described a Palestinian merchant explaining this cultural view of femininity as "A woman shamed is like rotting flesh, if it is not cut away, it will consume the body. What I mean is the whole family will be tainted if she is not killed."

The real question is:

WHERE IS THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN?

Aren't they supposed to stand up against this sort of thing?

If they were consistent, they would be on the same side as conservatives on this issue, wouldn't they?

You know when you read about these things and you see where a woman has been burned, beaten or suffered mulitple stab wounds...it's amazing how her death can be classified as a suicide or accident.

The fact that these people bribe Police and government officials to ignore or hinder the crimes speaks volumes. It's obviously WRONG.

These women are commodities owned by men..

Honor killings...that term just "kills" me.
