Palestinian child prisoner Ahed Tamimi finally released
- Thread starter Alo0oy
- Start date
Glad she is released. In a different country this would be something suprising (the fact she was imprisoned for so long just for slapping a soldier). But this isn't suprising considering Israel does worse crimes for "protecting themselves" and the world let's them get away with it.
8 months for slapping a soldier.
Too bad she isn't Israeli, then you wouldn't even get 8 months is for killing an unarmed, injured civilian Palestinian.
But what can you do? It is the only democracy in the Middle East.

The Israelis would just crucify him again.
I don't really now what to think about the case. Standing up to soldiers at her age is definitely brave and I can't imagine what growing up in essentially an apartheid scenario feels like.
On the other hand, this was a message she said on video after the scuffle with the soldier:
"I hope that everyone will take part in the demonstrations as this is the only means to achieve the result. Our strength is in our stones, and I hope that the world will unite to liberate Palestine, because [Donald] Trump made his declaration and [the Americans] need to take responsibility for any response that comes from us. Whether it is stabbings or martyrdom operations or throwing stones, everyone must do his part and we must unite in order for our message to be heard that we want to liberate Palestine."

There have been waves of deadly knife attacks on Israeli civilians in the last years, and it sounds like she's advocating for those and suicide attacks. And you can't say she doesn't know what she's talking about, when her aunt Ahlam Tamimi was actually involved in a suicide attack in the 90s that killed 15 people (and hasn't shown any remorse for it)

Oh no, why won't anyone think of the soldiers occupying the Palestinian territories? If only people in the global south treated the French and British empires with respect, they'd still be colonies today!!!!
Your second point is pure conjecture so I won't even entertain it.
You came into a thread about her being released and did the "she's no angel" thing.
Easy for you (behind a keyboard) to suggest what's an appropriate response the oppressed should use to fight their oppressors.
How is what her aunt did before she was even born in anyway put the onus on her?
Good news despite the the depressing state of things.
Fucked if you do, fucked if you don't.
Oppressed and if you stand up for yourself, it gets multiplied x50.
The Isreali government isn't giving much options for any peace, they rather meet protesters with bullets, and people say this conflict is complicated.

That's so messed up... And yet, I wouldn't put it past them to do this.

For those of you who don't know the full story, here is a pretty good article. She served 8 months in prison for slapping a soldier who shot her young cousin in the head.

Uh I shouldn't have clicked on that. Now I feel sad. :[
It's devastating but people need to know the truth Maybe if enough people are sad about it something will finally be done about it
I read this and now wished I didn't.
God it must be horrible to be a Palestinian. The lack of control over your own life and the constant suffering all around you would just wear the strongest man down.
It's really sad, there are studies out there that show Palestinian youth have some of the highest rates of stunted development in the world because of all the trauma they endure from even before they're born. It starts with stressed out mothers and only continues.
Edit: but also I am glad you did read it, these people's struggle deserves to be known.
Iraq is a democracy too, as well as Iran before murica thought they needed some freedom and overthrew the democratically elected government.
I know. Lived in MENA and traveled extensively in the region for work (and originally Palestinian) before I recently decided to reloce back to Europe.
That soldier was inside the Palestinian territories, but I'm guessing that doesn't matter to you.
Ahh yes a slap from a 16 year old on her own property becomes an "attack" and so an unjust detention becomes a symbol of Israeli leniency
I see you.
What is this. I think they're just surprised they didn't imprison her longer, not disappointed in the short sentence.
Considering it IS Israel, who has and will do worse for similar actions towards their soldiers and all.
Bering surprised she didn't get a longer sentence is one thing, thinking she got a lenient sentence is another.
Honestly expect her to be dead within a year of today from the IDF.
No way dude, the kid admitted he just fell of his bike after hours of interrogation without a legal guardian or lawyer present. Checkmate Palestinians.
The Knesset setup an investigation in 2015 to determine whether this family is real or made up of paid actors. Soros better watch out, they're onto him.
Israel's Education Minister Naftali Bennett said Ahed and Nour Tamimi deserved to "finish their lives in prison". Life in prison for a slap.
I've also seem a video of another Isreali politician say if he was there he would have kicked her in the face. Can't find the video now but I'm sure I saw it on the BBC.
Israel is run by maniacs.

A mere slap became "attacking"... an entirely unjust sentence became a lenient one. He didn't say it was lenient given Israel he said it was lenient period.
I'm not really inclined to be charitable especially when it's not the first Israel thread I've seen him in.
If he wants to clarify and show I'm wrong. Great. Happy to be so... but I'm not close to the only one reading it this way and that's on him.
Right, right, she shouldn't have been imprisoned at all. My second language English strikes again, but I see where they were coming from now.
Just a preview of what America is about to become if they don't contain the rightwing movement.
The IDF shoot her cousin in the head, invades her property and your first instinct is to defend them for imprisoning her for 8 months for a slap.
What is wrong with you.

Mustafa Tamimi was throwing rocks first.
Oh no! A child assaulted heavily armored soldiers with rocks! He should be sentenced to life in prison tbh.
And the proportional response is a bullet to the head....
