Palestinian teen Ahed Tamimi enters a military courtroom escorted by Israeli Prison Service personnel at Ofer Prison near the West Bank city of Ramallah, December 28, 2017.
Palestinian teen and youth activist Ahed Tamimi, 16, whose arrest and detention by the Israeli occupation military has drawn worldwide attention, was
charged in an Israeli military court with multiple allegations on Monday, 1 January. Her mother, Nariman, was also charged with several allegations related to the Tamimi family's anti-occupation organizing and expression; the detention of both Ahed and her mother was extended for an additional eight days, until next Monday, when the military court will convene again.
Ahed was charged with "assault" for slapping an Israeli occupation soldier outside of her home in Nabi Saleh -
after the soldier slapped her - and for "threatening a soldier...interfering with a soldier in carrying out his duties, incitement, and throwing objects at individuals or property." Nariman Tamimi was
charged with "incitement" on social media for streaming Ahed's encounter with the occupation soldiers at the family home in
Nabi Saleh on Facebook Live and for her other political expression on social media, as well as assaulting soldiers. The Tamimi women and their family are leaders in the
anti-colonial land defense and popular resistance movement in the Palestinian village of 600.
The village is surrounded by the illegal settlement of Halamish, which has stolen the village's land and even its spring.
The incident itself took place shortly after
Mohammed Tamimi, 14, Ahed's and Nour's cousin, was shot by an Israeli occupation soldier invading their village with a rubber-coatled metal bullet. Mohammed was in a medically induced coma in critical condition for several days and is now released from the hospital after a six-hour operation by seven surgeons on his face and head.
Comment: Just watch the RT clip above for a textbook example if Israeli hysteria. Israelis are the original SJWs - identity politics, eternal victim mentality, crocodile tears, and somewhat batshit crazy. Those evil Palestinians just have no heart. How dare those kids throw rocks at the most moral army in the world. All Israel wants is to steal their land, starve their families, tear down their homes, block them from getting medical care, kill their fathers, arrest their brothers and sisters, ruin their livelihoods, cut down their olive trees, steal their water, build Jewish-only colonies, Jewish-only roads, and have a little peace and quiet. Oh world, Is it so much to ask? Where are you? Does no one feel the plight of the Israelis?
