Israel is the only country in the world that violates women's rights

TBH Id even argue its better to be a Palestinian woman under Israeli control rather than under a new independent Palestinian state.

This is a blatantly absurd claim, even outrageous. The Israeli State doesn't care at all about the Palestinian beings. No matter if they are men or women, old or young, fat or thin. All of them are victims of the Israeli occupation. If you don't trust me, you can ask Ahed Tamimi

 Ahed Tamimi, a 17-year-old Palestinian who was filmed slapping and kicking two Israeli soldiers outside her home, has been released from jail after serving an eight-month sentence.

On Sunday morning, she arrived back to her home village alongside her mother, Nariman, who was also imprisoned and had livestreamed the incident on 15 December on Facebook.

Under a deal accepted by the Israeli military court, Ahed had pleaded guilty to four charges, including assault, incitement and two counts of obstructing soldiers. The trial was held behind closed doors.

Supporters say Ahed Tamimi’s case exemplifies the brutality resulting from 50 years of occupation. The event took place shortly after she heard that Israeli troops had severely wounded her 15-year-old cousin, whom they shot in the head with a rubber bullet during a stone-throwing clash.

Her case has also focused attention on the arrest and detention of young Palestinians by Israel. Local human rights groups say more than 300 minors are currently being held.

Saleh Higazi, head of Amnesty International’s Jerusalem office, said Ahed had served an “unjust sentence based on the ridiculous premise that she posed a threat to armed and heavily protected soldiers. This is a huge relief for Ahed Tamimi’s loved ones, but their joy will be tempered by the injustice of her imprisonment and the grim knowledge that many more Palestinian children still languish in Israeli jails, many despite not having committed any recognisable crime.”

In Nabi Saleh, a village known for years of anti-occupation protests that often descend into stone throwing and the deployment of teargas, Palestinian flags had been set up on the roof of the Tamimi family home. The mother and daughter were greeted with cheers as they entered on Sunday.

“The resistance continues until the occupation is removed,” Ahed said. “All the female prisoners are steadfast. I salute everyone who supported me and my case.” (...)

Regarding the resolution, I concur with Kal and have nothing relevant to add

Man throws stones at soldiers.(stones can hurt and can even be lethal, especially if slings or slingshots are used)
Gets shot by Less lethal bullets to prevent further stone throwing.
Girl then attacks soldiers for daring to protect themselves.
Attacks soldiers and gets a relatively lenient 8 month sentence.(This actually makes me respect Israel more)



Meanwhile in a potential Palestine.
Gets raped by local police.
Complains about it.
No 4 witnesses.
Gets arrested and flogged.

Palestinians only have stones to oppose one of the most powerful, well trained and equipped armies in the world. Stones against the most sophisticated military technology .It's hard to find a more powerful symbol of the imbalance of forces existing between the occupying army and the victims of the occupation.

Your last words are simply despicable. A good sample of hate speech and malicious slander. I was tempted to report them, but maybe it's better they remain here. They show a far right bigoted racist full of hate, not far from Edward Norton's character in American History X. Seek help

Are we seriously bringing up Ahed Tamimi as an example of someone abused by Israel? She's a child soldier trained by a notorious terrorist family (with ties to the Sbarro bombing) to attack Israeli soldiers, likely hoping she'll become another martyr. Instead she gets arrested uninjured and charged with assault, and is given a fair sentence in proportion to others sentenced for assaults on IDF soldiers. Much oppression. Such apartheid.

So we have a racist bigot claiming Tamimi will be raped by the police in an hypothetical Palestinian state and other poster accusing her of "child soldier" and "terrorist". The Tamimi's family is notorious because of its activism against the occupation. Comparing activism with terrorism is also malicious slander. Possibly you think that Palestinians should bear the abuses submissively and in silence. Tamimi and others think otherwise. Being criminalized and getting slandered by the Israeli authorities or by people like you is part of the price they have to pay.

The "child soldier" wants to be a lawyer

“The experience of being arrested was really hard. As much as I try, I cannot describe it,” Ahed said. But she added: “This experience added value to my life, maybe it made me more mature. More conscious.”

Her trial was held behind closed doors. Concerns about her treatment in detention were raised after a video emerged in which a male Israeli interrogator threatened the then 16-year-old, commenting on her body and “eyes of an angel”.

Ahed said her treatment was not unusual. “It was not the first, and it was not a coincidence. This is their style of interrogating,” she said.

Her case has highlighted the arrest and detention of what local human rights groups say are more than 300 Palestinian minors.

Ahed said her experience in jail helped with her ambitions to become an international lawyer. “For example, I was under interrogation. There were violations against me. International law says that this should not happen to me,” she said, adding that in another life she would have trained to be a professional footballer.
