Curse the occupation./s
Eleutheria5, you were being sarcastic, because you’re a rational human being. But Congresspereson Tlaib really means what you said. Here’s her explanation for why this “happened” (as in, “some people did something”):
“In Palestine, our legal system is the result of a century of occupation and political turmoil. It is a combination of Ottoman, British, Egyptian (in Gaza), Jordanian (in the West bank), and even no system (Area C). Despite various and continued efforts over the last decade, there has been very little reform to this outdated and dysfunctional legal system for two reasons: Israeli military occupation and a corrupt Palestinian Authority both hinder any legal, economic, and social progress.”

So you see, the poor Palestinians in the part of the world where this happened (NOT Area C, which the Israelis control, but instead the part of the Territories under the governance of the Arabs) haven’t been able for the last 100 years to prevent things like this because of toxic masculinity and foreign occupation.
But of course there’s one thing that’s absolutely NOT responsible for it: “Do not use this narrative to reinforce dangerous stereotypes of Arab culture and Islam. Patriarchy exists every where.”
I’m sure this kind of thing happens in churches and synagogues all over the world! THAT’s why its legally required in Saudia Arabia and Iran that women never leave the house unless their heads are covered. It’s not Islam at all, you see — It’s all about the intersectionality. /s
And the intelligentsia believe this crap.
