No one is safe in Palestine
What happens when a palestinian woman falls in love with a Christian? Well. First, her family kills her to restore their honor, and then...
At least 14 houses belonging to Christian residents of Taybeh, a West Bank village northeast of Ramallah, were torched by Muslims from neighboring Dir Jarir on Sunday, to avenge what they termed the dishonor of a Muslim woman.
According to Taybeh residents, several dozen young men from Dir Jarir descended on their village before dawn, torched the homes and destroyed a great deal of other property.
"The young men, who were holding Molotov cocktails, threw them at the houses, which began to go up in flames, one after another," said Buthaina Sha'aban, a Taybeh resident and the sister of the town's mayor. "They vandalized parked cars and beat village residents who went out into the streets. Entire families were thrown into the street after their homes were torched. Not much remains of their property."
The Mayor's sister went on to say, "We urge all international, Israeli and Palestinian actors to intervene and protect village residents from the Muslim rage."
Yeah. Right. Good luck with that.
