#1 Victims' rights groups say the number of "honor crimes" appears to be climbing, but at the same time, getting little attention. Israelis and Palestinians are too busy with political and military issues to notice what they dismiss as domestic disputes
Here's a worthy cause for MSM to write on. Show the world what the "insurgents" and "freedom fighters" want, for first the people of the Middle East, and then us.

#3 But plainslow -- deep down this is what the left wants too. Legalized killing of anyone 'inconvient' such as the woman in Florida or an inconvienant pregnancy. Next it will be the aged, and severly retarded, etc....

#5 Major fallacy: this occurred in the West Bank. Not under Israeli rule, therefore not Israeli responsibility. On the Israeli side of the line these things are prosecuted, on the other side, encouraged. This article is, despite having been published in the Jewish World Review, a "How barbaric the Palestinians are, what is the matter with those Jews that they don't do something to fix it?" article. Evil Palestinians, eviler Jews who let it happen. Fooey.

#6 It's a feature of the culture and a religion that allows it. It will not go away until the culture and religion do.

#7 I'm horrified by this. I was also horrified by it in 2003, when this piece was published. Why is this up today?

#8 FWIW, this maternal monster has done her two years and is out, according this this June '05 article. Presumably she is free to keep raising her surviving children as long as they do not make her feel bad about herself.
