Canada funds Palestinian Authority ad against abuse of women, yet PA condones domestic violence as per Islamic law
Jan 21, 2021 1:00 PM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
Normative Islam divides the world into two parts: the House of War (Dar al Harb) and the House of Islam. The House of Islam is directed to conquer the House of War. Deceiving the infidel is perfectly acceptable in Islam because, as a hadith has Muhammad say, “War is deceit” (Bukhari 4:52:269). The Palestinian Authority (PA) is one such example of this hadith playing out, as the entire Palestinian cause is based on deception (frequently known as taqiyya). The PA has for decades aimed for a one-state solution, that is, the complete destruction of Israel, while it fools the world into believing that it seeks a two-state solution. As such, infidel nations continue to give billions of dollars in aid to so-called Palestinian “refugees” that keep magically multiplying, as “refugee” status is passed on from generation to generation. Much of that money is used to continue the jihad against Israel and propagate the Islamic agenda. The Palestinian Authority presents itself to the world as a victim while continuing to pursue the jihad.
Another example of PA deceit involves this advertisement outwardly opposing domestic violence against women, which is funded by Canada. The PA signed on to the UN-produced International Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women. It should be obvious that despite this ad, the PA’s loyalty is to Islamic law (Sharia), in which wife-beating is permitted, as per Quran 4:34:
Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.
Islamic law stipulates that women are inferior to men. Yet the PA advertisement pretending to ascribe to women’s rights “stresses that domestic violence is more than ?just physical blows, and includes psychological violence, sexual coercion, ?and also the withholding of resources.”
While the Canadian government is celebrating this taxpayer-funded “victory” for women’s rights, this is what the PA is really supporting:
Abbas’ advisor and PA’s Supreme Shari’ah Judge, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, ?has emphasized that even though the PA signed the international ?Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), ?they are “not committed to it at all, except for what is consistent with ?Islamic law.”
Al-Habbash stated:
Truthfully, even if we signed the CEDAW convention we are not ?committed to it at all, except for what is consistent with Islamic ?law… We are committed to the international laws in what does not ?contradict our national heritage, religious heritage, and our faith. The ?president has said this, the [PA] government has said this, and we [the ?Supreme Council for Shari’ah Justice] have said this.
Nothing is surprising here. To actually believe that the PA would ascribe to anything different is truly bizarre, and demonstrates just how far gone Leftists are in their invented utopia.
“Ad against domestic violence in the PA – funded by Canada, produced by the UN,” by Nan Jacques Zilberdik, Palestinian Media Watch, January 18, 2021:
The Palestinian Authority is currently running a TV ad that speaks out ?against domestic violence and informs women (and male victims as well) ?where they can get help. The ad stresses that domestic violence is more than ?just physical blows, and includes psychological violence, sexual coercion, ?and also the withholding of resources. The ad is paid for by Canada and ?produced by the UN. (See below):
Narrator: “Violence is damage that harms women, young women, ?men, and young men. It has many forms such as physical blows, ?psychological violence, or sex against your will.?
Violence is not only physical, [but] also threats, coercion, and ?withholding resources such as studies, monetary expenditures, ?inheritance, and access to services.?
Did you know that last year, 243 million women suffered from sexual ?or physical violence worldwide??
In Palestine, 29% of the women were subjected to violence by their ?husbands…?
Violence is not inevitable. Violence is unacceptable. You can always ?get help. ?
You can find information on the protection and support services for ?victims of violence at:?
www.palestine.unwomen.org
The gender-based guide for violence services”?
[Official PA TV, several times since Jan. 4, 2021]?
But do the Canadian funders and the UN offices involved in the ad know ?that the PA often preaches a contradictory message? Palestinian Media ?Watch has exposed that the PA’s official stand on women’s rights is quite ?different and that the PA has even condoned domestic violence.?
Abbas’ advisor and PA’s Supreme Shari’ah Judge, Mahmoud Al-Habbash, ?has emphasized that even though the PA signed the international ?Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), ?they are “not committed to it at all, except for what is consistent with ?Islamic law”.
Abbas’ advisor, Supreme Shari’ah Judge, and Chairman of the ?Supreme Council for Shari’ah Justice Mahmoud Al-?Habbash: “President [Abbas’] ratification in 2009 (sic., 2014) of the ?CEDAW convention was a ratification conditioned on what is ?consistent with the Palestinian constitution, with the Basic Law… We ?have a Basic Law that says: ‘Islamic law is the source of legislation’ ??… Truthfully, even if we signed the CEDAW convention we are not ?committed to it at all, except for what is consistent with Islamic ?law… We are committed to the international laws in what does not ?contradict our national heritage, religious heritage, and our faith. The ?president has said this, the [PA] government has said this, and we [the ?Supreme Council for Shari’ah Justice] have said this.”?
[Facebook page of Supreme Shari’ah Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash, Jan. 9, 2020]?
PMW has exposed numerous statements and rulings by PA top officials that ?uphold the discrimination against women – and even sanction domestic ?violence. Ironically – and tragically – the same advisor of Abbas, Al-Habbash, ?justified violence against Palestinian women at the exact same time the PA ?ran a similar ad that taught Palestinians that it is never okay to hit women.?… |
