Three sisters stabbed to death in Gaza 'honor killing'
The Jerusalem Post ^ | July 22, 2007

Three sisters were found stabbed to death in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, raising suspicion they were killed by relatives because of suspected immoral behavior, a human rights organization said.

The three sisters, 16-year-old Nahed Hija and her sisters, 19-year-old Suha and 22-year-old Lina, were found dead from multiple stab wounds, buried in a shallow grave in the central Gaza Strip early Sunday morning, said Hamdi Shakkour of the Palestinian Center for Human Rights.

Shakkour said they suspected the women were victims of "honor crimes," in which women are murdered by male relatives because of suspected intimate relations - not necessarily sex - outside of marriage.

The Hamas force that polices the Gaza Strip said in a statement it was investigating the deaths.

Our nation’s leaders are stuck in the grips of some romantic notion of desert shieks who throw around money like there’s no tomorrow.Perhaps our nation's leaders are on the take.

“I have faith in the American people not the Government.”

Hmm, kinda naive for you to think so. It is the American people who voted for the government we have.

Perhaps our nation’s leaders contemplate conversion when the time is ripe.

Big time! Not only the elected leaders but our “respected” institutions as well.

Yes, and it's also the American people who can fire them.
I wouldn't call that naive.

Where’s the honor in killing young women?

Poor old dad just did not have the dowry money for the 22,19 and 16 yr olds.

He saved their honor of not ending up old maids or being married to an old brute.

It's the only confrontation these little boy screwing cowards can win...

Each time they face a warrior - they get their dirty asses kicked.
