An innocent young pretty face with beautiful hair blowing in the wind, oppressed by the army of an occupying force is arrested after she retaliates and slaps one of the bloodthirsty soldiers. This is, without a doubt, the script of the film created by Amnesty International, a movement supposedly charged with defending human rights.
The so-called victim in question is Ahed Tamimi, a Palestinian who during her teenage years was filmed slapping and kicking Israeli soldiers and inciting violence against them in the West Bank. In March 2018, the girl, then 17 years old, was sentenced to eight months in prison for four counts of assault on an IDF officer and soldier, inciting violence against Israeli forces, and interfering with military operations.
Since then, the beautiful young woman became an icon of the Palestinian cause, appearing in anti-Israeli propaganda that was shared by a good portion of the Western press and Amnesty International. They demanded that she be released, implying that she was just an innocent girl who only hit these soldiers out of desperation.
Requests were made for her early release and, after being let out, her image as an icon of resistance against oppression was everywhere.
In fact, she even appeared on the cover of the fashion magazine Vogue Arabia, with her curly hair in the wind and her pretty face, an image the so-called human rights defenders from Amnesty International promoted at the request of Palestinian terrorists, whether from Hamas or Fatah (the main movement of the Palestinian Authority).
Instead of demanding educational and cultural change in Gaza and the West Bank, much of the Western press, the UN and organizations such as Amnesty International prefer to be gears of Palestinian propaganda to perpetuate the conflict. The price is paid by Israelis, Palestinians and the entire world.
Of course, what Amnesia International... that is, Amnesty International, forgot to mention is what Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, wisely pointed out in an article published in PJ Media. The academic recalled that Tamimi's father was convicted in 2012 for encouraging young people to throw stones at Israeli troops. Her brother was convicted in August 2018, two months before Ahed became a heroine on the cover of Vogue for throwing stones at IDF soldiers. Additionally, the most famous member of her family, her aunt Ahlam Tamimi, helped murder 16 Israeli civilians at Jerusalem's Sbarro pizzeria on Aug. 9, 2001. She received multiple life sentences from an Israeli court for her role in that massacre, but was freed in 2011 as part of the prisoner exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit. She then traveled to Jordan, where she became a media personality and national hero. Since then, Jordan has rejected all extradition requests presented by the United States, where she is on the FBI's most wanted list because American citizens were among the people who died in the attack.
Perhaps his young victim with a pretty face, innocent features and curls blowing in the wind is not who Amnesia... sorry, Amnesty International, thought. Well, maybe they did know but preferred to look the other way. Recently, in clear support for Hamas terrorists, Ahed called for the genocide of the Jews. “Our message to the settlers: we are waiting for you in all the cities of the West Bank, from Hebron to Jenin. We will massacre them and they will say that what Hitler did to them was a joke. We will drink their blood and eat their skulls. Come on, we are waiting for you,” she said.
This is the real Ahed Tamimi, and she has always been that way. The indoctrination in hatred that Palestinians suffer from birth has fueled the eternal flame of this perpetual conflict. People like this young woman grow up dehumanizing the Jews and supporting their extermination, which Israel's neighbors would not hesitate to carry out if they were allowed to do so, nor would they think twice about subjecting the whole world to radical Islam if they could.
However, instead of demanding educational and cultural change in Gaza and the West Bank, much of the Western press, the UN and organizations such as Amnesty International prefer to be gears of Palestinian propaganda to perpetuate the conflict. The price is paid by Israelis, Palestinians and the entire world.
