Teenager who served time says soldiers should be slapped all the time; rejects two-state solution, vowing to fight for liberation of all of Palestine, not just West Bank
A teenager who became an icon of the Palestinian cause after she was jailed for slapping an Israeli soldier has urged others to follow her example and assault IDF troops.
In an interview earlier this month, Ahed Tamimi vowed to campaign for the removal of Israel rather than a two-state solution to the conflict even if that would mean sacrificing her life as a martyr.
Tamimi, 17, served an eight-month sentence in an Israeli prison for slapping and shoving IDF soldiers outside her home in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh late last year.
Less than three months after walking out of prison, Tamimi is on a victory tour, crisscrossing Europe and the Middle East as a superstar of the campaign against Israels rule in the West Bank.
Earlier this month she gave two interviews to Tunisian media, in which she said that everybody should be slapping soldiers and that the current generation of Palestinians will fight for the liberation of Palestine in its entirety.
In an interview she gave on October 2 to Musaique FM Radio, Tamini declared, The world should not be shocked or taken aback by a Palestinian slapping an [Israeli] soldier, according to an English-language transcript of her comments was published by the Middle East Media Research Institute, a Washington-based press monitoring organization.
We should all be slapping soldiers, not just me, she continued. We should always be slapping soldiers, wherever they may be, regardless of whether they did anything or not. Ultimately, these are occupying soldiers. They occupied our land, and they shoot at little children and target homes and people. So this is a natural reaction to the presence of the occupation, to the presence of soldiers on my land. Everybody should be slapping soldiers.
Asked what pledge she had taken upon herself for the future, Tamimi said it was to continue on the path of the martyrs, so that their blood will not have been shed in vain. We shall always continue on their path. I have pledged to continue to make sacrifices, even sacrificing my life, for the sake of liberating Palestine.
The following day, October 3, she was a guest on Nessma TV, where she rejected the two-state solution and promised that the current generation of Palestinians will not follow that path but rather strive for a Palestinian state without an Israeli neighbor.
The previous generation fought, died as martyrs, were wounded and imprisoned, for the sake of the two-state solution, she said. They placed their trust in the world and in the international institutions, but they did not reach this solution. We, the [new] generation, will not repeat this. We, as a generation, will fight for the liberation of Palestine in its entirety.
The generation before us sacrificed 78% of its land, and even so, Israel missed the opportunity. We, the [new] generation, will not give them a second chance. We shall fight to liberate Palestine in its entirety. We wont give up 78% of our land.
Tamimis incarceration drew attention from around the globe, highlighting the teens image as a Palestinian icon. She had become a cause célèbre for Palestinian supporters, and rallies were held in several locations calling for her release after her arrest in December.
The Palestinian teen was arrested after a video emerged showing her and her cousin yelling at Israeli troops near her home and slapping one of the soldiers.
In Aheds version of the incident, shared in court during a hearing in December, Tamimi said the soldiers featured in the video had shot her cousin in the head with a rubber bullet an hour prior to the filmed encounter.
Tamimi, who was 16 when she was arrested, admitted as part of a plea deal to the aggravated assault of an IDF soldier, incitement to violence, and disrupting soldiers on two other occasions.
Many Palestinians saw her as bravely standing up to military control over the West Bank, while Israelis accused her family of using her as a pawn.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

I hope she and her followers stop. Slap enough soldiers and you will be shot.
Not to smart slapping any soldier. Soldiers are trained to kill
She’s the Palestinian version of Maxine Waters.
fight for liberation of all of Palestine’
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That has always been the Palestinian position.
It’s not possible to have peace with people who want all of you dead.
Same goes for Islam in general the world over.
Take a lot of selfies, because you’re going to be a martyr soon.
Maybe she will marry David Hogg....
rejects two-state solution
And yet that's the mentality of everyone embraced by most of the supposed advocates of the two-state solution. Thanks SJackson.
She could be the next Rachel Corrie. Hope so anyway.
Picture at the site.
She’s guilty in EVERY way.
Unless I had like 8 beers in me.
Pretty good example of just how deeply infected with the political hydrophobia of Islamic fanaticism the under 30 population of Pollywog land is. It will be a very long time before there is any chance of detente, let alone a peace settlement.
> Not to smart slapping any soldier. <
It depends on what your goal is. If your goal is to provoke another Intifada by having an Israeli soldier shoot a girl...then it’s a pretty good strategy.
Plus it would be a worldwide PR coup.
And now for something completely different. Three female IDF soldiers:
Doesn’t look like an Arab to me, but not to get off-point: NEVER should anyone assault a soldier that is doing their duty in protecting the rightful citizens of their country.
“Asked what pledge she had taken upon herself for the future, Tamimi said it was to continue on the path of the martyrs, so that their blood will not have been shed in vain. We shall always continue on their path. I have pledged to continue to make sacrifices, even sacrificing my life, for the sake of liberating Palestine.
Yes, well, while she is doing that, the so-called Palestinian leaders and their children will continue to enjoy their luxury villas, Swiss bank accounts, and generally the best of everything. What idiots these cannon fodder types are. I guess they believe allah is impressed.
hopefully Mossad or IDF will find it possible to give this promoter of (even) more Muslim terrorist murder attacks
some “personal attention”... and soon!
ISIS would love her.
Not well enough evidently.
