8 months for slapping a soldater.
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.
Republicans would rather listen to Trump.
She still has a two-year suspended sentence if I recall correctly
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)

I'm not excusing the Israeli occupation. You shouldn't excuse advocating for suicide attacks

How is what her aunt did before she was even born in anyway put the onus on her?I'm not excusing the Israeli occupation. You shouldn't excuse advocating for suicide attacks
They just want her out there so a sniper can take a better shot at her.

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.

Eight months for attacking a soldier is a pretty lenient sentence.

What is this. I think they're just surprised they didn't imprison her longer, not disappointed in the short sentence.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.

Considering it IS Israel, who has and will do worse for similar actions towards their soldiers and all.
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.Bering surprised she didn't get a longer sentence is one thing, thinking she got a lenient sentence is another.
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.Eight months for attacking a soldier is a pretty lenient sentence.

What is wrong with you.
And the proportional response is a bullet to the head....
Oh no! A child assaulted heavily armored soldiers with rocks! He should be sentenced to life in prison tbh.
