OT: Honor Killing: Gazan killed daughter for owning phone’

Condemned by Palestinian Human Rights organizations. You might ask where Human Rights Watch was during all this. From the article …

Given that their admitted goal is to counter pro-Israeli sentiment around the world, it is not surprising that they would not condemn this.

“The groups’ reports said that the assault was triggered by Jawdat Najjar’s discovery that his daughter Fadia - a 27-year-old divorced mother of five - owned a cell phone. He suspected she used it to speak to a man outside the family, according to the groups’ reports.”

There is something physically wrong with a society which allows (and encourages) a man to control his adult daughter like this.
