21-year-old Israa Ghrayeb posted a photo of herself on Instagram one day before she was to be engaged. This was too much for the family who sent in her brother to beat and torture the woman for dishonoring her family.
On the first day of the beatings Israa broke her back when she ‘fell’ out of a two story window.
On the second day her brother Ihab came back and murdered his sister.
Anti-Semitic Democrat and Squad member Rashida Tlaib blamed the Jews for her honor killing.
this congress woman uses language indicating she does not fully accept US citizenship
“In Palestine, OUR legal system is the result of a century of occupation and political turmoil.”
You’re right. I was filtering the situation through my own cultural perspective. Live or die, she was never going to be more than a sperm vessel/teapot scrubber. R.I.P.
Poorly written story. Where, when? Middle East, Canada, US, England?
Come on Jim; Kick your writing up a notch or two.
This story has been around a few days. Complete with a video with sound of her alleged beating in a hospital. I am not going to bother with this click bait article.
Thanks mplc51.
“If she were to move back to Palestine, she would be executed for being a western slut the was she dresses.”
Actually, that is not the way it goes. I’ve seen plenty of Arab families walking together, the mother perhaps in a chadour or burkha, but the daughter in tight jeans and blouse with exposed head and face. More common in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, but except in very remote areas where no Jew goes, it’s unlikely that any girl would get killed over modern-ish dress.
Malach, I respectfully disagree. first, while it’s true that the Arabs who left Israel haven’t been treated kindly by other Arabs, that’s no different than many other Arab groups who haven’t been treated kindly by other Arab groups. They’re not exactly a kindly group, Arabs: they’re brutal to each other, when they don’t (and often even when they do) have outsiders whom they can all hate together.
Second, they’ve had autonomy for a long time (and would have it and more if they didn’t insist on coming out of their towns to murder Jews), and they’ve had the official right to regulate civilian affairs in their towns since 1992. The reason this sort of insanity happens is not because their local governments are corrupt. They certainly are corrupt, but the corruption isn’t causing this. What’s causing this is fidelity to 7th century principles of honor and shame, which are nourished by a particular interpretation of Islam and its requirements. Yes, there are other possible interpretations of Islam; just don’t try advocating for them in Jericho or Ramallah. And even if you do it in London, or Brussels, or New York, if you plan on actually being heard, better hire some bodyguards.
And if a girl were killed for that reason, Israel has police, and it laws against murder, and a government, and courts, and prosecutors, and defense lawyers. And they work as well as they work in any other country whose guiding principles are those of Western civilization.
None of that happens in territory controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
Nor in the more backward regions of the Islamic world. But her chances of survival would be better even in the “occupied” territories than in the hinterlands of the Sudan or Yemen.
It happened in Jerusalem. I had an honor killing happen just a few blocks from where I lived in Phoenix though. It was a few years ago. The evil father got arrested in London on his way back to Iraq.

Odd how democrats don't give a damn how women are treated in Muslim countries...
Embrace the culture. Islam is peace, just believe. /s
The West made Islam into something that they could only dream of after 9/11.We pretend to fight radical Islam almost in year 20,we give legitimacy in their barbaric culture and give them social, political and demographic fluidity.
Has anyone told Rep. Omar? Or Tlalib? (did I spell that right?)
None of that happens in territory controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
