Women- all around the world

The french television channel, tv5 , presents a very interesting program called 'envoye special' ( a special envoy).
On Tuesday eve, they screened a documentary short film , made in Afghanistan, describing the life of women in this tortured , ripped land.
The brave reporter, I don't recall his exact name, but I think it was Jules Giliers, participated in a Taliban meeting with educational representatives from Kandahar ,trying to perform a tolerant appearance.
But the facts are quite different.

Many representatives of the local authorities as well as people from the street , said that women's place is at home. Women are not allowed to go to school- and when they go, they literally risk their lives.
Schools for women are situated in clandestine places, in dark alleys, and are relocated from time to time in order to avoid an exposure by Taliban- which means death sentence.
The film shows a building, destroyed and burned by Taliban, as a result of disobeying the draconian rules.
The most difficult scene in this film, was the one of a 17 years old girl, burned by her father and her husband. The young girl, wrapped with bandages from head to legs, is encouraged by the local women's rights lady activist, telling her:" luckily, you can still talk.".
Women's oppression all around the world is ignored . It relates to murder of women in order to defend the 'family's honor' which happens as well within Arab-Israeli families. Abuse and even murder of women occurs whithin Jewish families and it happens everywhere- even in Sweden as described by Stieg Larsson in his book 'the girl with the dragon tatoo' . Estee Segal wrote about it in the Hebrew website 'notes'.

Movements for human right tend frequently to ignore women's rights. There's no way the western world could defend women – neither in fanatical regimes nor in the modern world.
The American author of a Afghan origin, Khaled Hosseini, whose book's cover appears above, describes in a very vivid way, the phenomena of living under a caotic and cruel control, especially for women.

About inciting, terrorism and freedom of speech (and arts)- and also something about death penalty

When the whole world is threatened by terrorism, I believe it's a good time to ask ourselves few questions about surrendering to terrorism, as well as wondering about limits of artistic and creative freedom and its clash with democratic values

.A major problem Israel is dealing with during the last few years, concerns the efforts to liberate our soldier Gilad Shalit, who was captured and held by Hamas over three years ago. Hamas, a terrorist bloody organization by all means, claims the liberation of more than 1,000 terrorists imprisoned in Israeli jails, many of them murderers of children and innocent people, just because they're Israelis
.And what would have Hamas done if those killers were not in Israeli jail? how would they 'trade' for Shalit?
It might sound like a retorical question, unless the whole modern world will rise up and ask if there's no place to adopt death penalty for terrorists accused of murder or sending suicide killers to commit murders.Such a decision may put an end to the method of kidnapping people in order to release heavy criminals, who turn the life of people all around the world into hell. It may, as well, clarify that human life is not for bargaining: we're not living in a Turkish bazar
.I wrote about it few months ago, in my Hebrew website.

From the narrow point of view presented here by an Israeli citizen and journalist, I heard just today about a new exhibition, displayed at the house of journalists in TEl AVIV, which gives a stage to palestinian women murderer terrorists, praising them and making heroines out of them, while their images are wrapped in a golden aura.

Once again, it arouses the common local polemic, followed by the false publication in a Swedish newspaper , claiming that Israeli soldiers killed Palestinians in order to trade with their organs: a total lie , of course, but the damage was done. The Swedish government even refused to interfere.


I may well admit, right now, that these phenomena where a major motivation to open this blog.
In fact , there are some radical Israeli 'spokesmen', who are very welcome in universities, newspapers and other forums in the western world, and some of them use to twist the truth. And much more than that: their views do not at all represent the Israeli public, nor they serve the pure truth of what's really going on in Israel under fanatic Islamic threats.
