Lost for a Headline
From yesterday's pan-Arab daily al-Hayat:
A father in Palestine sold his two minor daughters (13 and 15) to 2 brothers.
The father confessed to being paid $3600 for the 13-year-old and a little less than $1800 for the 15-year-old.
The 2 brothers confessed to making the deal for sexual motives.
Police forced them to enter into a marriage contract until the girls reach adulthood.
The 2 brothers and the father have been charged with statutory rape and indecent solicitation of a child.
I don't know really what to say. I know that the situation there is very bad, but that does not give anyone the right to sell their own children .. What a shame .. there is nothing known as the Palestinian authority as i guess while when i want to go there, still everything is controlled by Israel .. what kind of independent or lands under their control they are talking about ????
...will never go away until the palestinian goats are allowed to have their own police force.
No, King Edshel, the Guys were Palestinians. That's why it was the Palestinian police who arrested them and not the Israeli police. Palestinians in Palestinian territory under Palestinian jurisdiction arrested by Palestinian police. They were not Israeli Arabs.
...there are tax advantages if you lease instead of buy...
all people around the world are selling their children, Why would this guy be different? By the way he is not Palestinian, he is from Arab Israel I guess and a lot of these guys does not believe even in what we call Arabic people. They believe that the Arab gave up on them a long time ago. I did not get offended because I'm Palestinian too, but to put the things in the right place.
Wow less the $1800 for the 15 year old. Guess that's what happens when you're "past your prime".
I also think we should start getting rapists to marry their victims in the West too. Would save all that pesky courts and jails thing. And everyone wins!

It's Sweet Home Alabama Joe, and I was 17 when I was sold to a cousin thank you very much. :)
