(30,109 posts)Palestinian society is whatever the ruling power defines it as. That ruling power is Hamas in Gaza or Fatah in the WB. Their fascist, theocratic ideology, denied by many in the West who support their cause, is known to anyone familiar with PMW or MEMRI. This tactic (child abuse) may seem extreme to us, but I can assure you it's what radically repressive Hamas & Fatah have made mainstream in Palestine, by force, along with idolization of Samir Kuntar, and suicide bombers. They made it mainstream thru their government & educational institutions, & state-run media. That is what has led to nearly 75% Palestinians agreeing with the hadith in Hamas' charter about wanting to kill Jews hiding behind stones & trees. Moderates for peace & co-existance have no voice in this fear society.
So yes, it's sick.
