JERUSALEM — Israelis call her ‘Shirley Temper’ and say she epitomizes ‘Pallywood,’ or Palestinian propaganda attempts to discredit Israel. Palestinians call her a hero, for fearlessly standing up to those who enforce the Israeli occupation of their land and those who terrorize her village.
Her real name is Ahed Tamimi. And a video of her confronting or provoking Israeli soldiers — depending on how you look at it — has gone viral.
Again.
Tamimi, 16, is a well-known Palestinian activist from a well-known activist family. She lives in the village of Nabi Saleh, in the occupied West Bank, where weekly demonstrations have become common scenes of clashes between Palestinian stone throwers and Israeli troops. The villagers accuse Israel of expropriating their lands in favor of the nearby Jewish settlement of Halamish.
On Friday, the army said, soldiers were in the village to contain a riot involving some 200 people, including the Tamimis. Some of the rioters, the army said in a statement, entered a nearby house and continued to throw rocks at troops. Then, it said, Tamimi and some women exited and started to “violently provoke” the soldiers.
Tamimi, her wild locks swept up in a hair band, can be seen on film slapping and kicking a soldier, as another young woman captures the exchange on her smartphone.
On Monday night, after the video was highlighted by Israeli news media, Israeli forces arrested Tamimi and detained her mother, Nariman, the army said in a statement.
Bassem Tamimi, Ahed’s father, wrote on Facebook that soldiers raided his home, confiscating cellphones and computers and taking away his wife and daughter. He said he has not spoken to the women since. A court hearing has been set for Wednesday.
The father said that during the Friday clash, the soldiers shot a 14-year-old boy,...

“All that hate’s gonna burn you up, kid.” (Red Dawn)
The hellion’s fair features no doubt come from a Crusader ancestor.
Being permanently angry is no way to go through life.
The IDF should see to it that this brat only interacts with female soldiers. It would totally ruin the optics Pallywood is going for to see this little witch screaming at young, female Israelis, and if a female soldier had to restrain her, you would not have the visual of a man “brutalizing” a young woman.
“systematically taught to hate.”
That.
she needs to be spanked
I lose patience with Jerusalem. They need to destroy the Muslim terrorist murder gangs and their weapons bombs and missiles first.
She has grown up and gotten bolder in assaulting soldiers. Now she faces jail time.
no different than the wild little ANTIFA hooligan girls here
Thanks beaversmom.
Israel should declare a Palestinian State, refuse any business with it, and watch.
How cute. She’s from an “activist family” - aka, rabble rousing terrorist supporting family. Well, maybe Nikki Haley’s announcement today about cutting off funding unless the “Palestinians,” whatever they are, sit down and negotiate will do something about this.
Yeah, lol. They are community organizers. ;)
Very welcome.
From day one. If you think about it, what other way could she turn out in such a set up?
I just finished reading The Haj. It’s been going on for a long, long time. It’s part of the fabric and DNA now.
I have no hope for that region of the world. I have hope for Israel. Not for the rest of them.
Excellent suggestion, but I’m sure IDF has considered it along with the hazards to all soldiers entering the Pali areas, and decided not to put their female soldiers in danger.
We both would like to see the world’s eye opened.
I think it has to be done in a way that doesn’t cast Israel in a bad light long term.
A 60 day eye opener, would also be criticized, but it would be tolerable, due to it’s short term nature.
You and I might agree with what you said, but I’m not sure it would help long-term.
Her hair is uncovered leading men into temptation by the scent, her face is uncovered leading men into sin, by her aggression she is un-Islamic and as a result must be stoned.
Agreed.
I seriously doubt that it's literally part of the DNA.
Islamic culture, OTOH, is based on hate and conquest.
