To Palestinians and their supporters, hers is the face of a hero, a new symbol of resistance. But many Israelis call 17-year-old Ahed Tamimi "Shirley Temper" after viewing videos showing the girl angrily lashing out at Israeli soldiers.

The long-running Israeli-Palestinian conflict has always been about competing narratives, and in this age of social media and viral videos, Ahed's defiance has made her into something of a star in the Arab world and beyond.

The blond-haired, blue-eyed Palestinian girl spent her 17th birthday inside an Israeli military prison last week, where she, along with her mother, await trial on Feb. 13, charged with a dozen offences, including incitement and assault against a soldier.

In a Dec. 15, 2017, video, Ahed, dressed in a blue jacket with a kaffiyeh tied around her neck, confronted two armed Israeli soldiers, outside her home in Nabi Saleh, a village in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.

What are they resisting, exactly ?

The free food handouts ? The free money hand outs ? The free fuel handouts ?

Is she resisting the free hospitals and ambulance service ?

Perhaps she’s resisting the oppression that Jewish modesty police place on women who travel alone, without their heads covered and those who make inflammatory statements ?

I’m sure it’s all of these.

I’m not a fan of terrorists, whether they are cute girls or ugly bearded men.

If Israel was as cruel and nasty as the Palestinians make them out to be this girl would have been shot on sight or at least beaten to a pulp inside an Israeli prison. Thats what the Muslims would have done if the roles were reversed.

Shirley Temper must owe her Nordic looks to some long forgotten Crusader ancestor, maybe a Teutonic Knight.

So what you are saying is that she really isn’t ‘Palestinian’? In a technical sense, that’s correct no matter what her hair and eye colour is. The term Palestine is a figment of some ancient Roman’s imagination as a reference to that area of the middle east formerly known as Judah. So essentially... There are no Palestinians.

Psst!... Don’t tell Shirley Temper that.... She’ll get even madder.
