| Why is the West praising Malala, but ignoring Ahed? | | Shenila Khoja-Moolji -
Al-Jazeera
"There has been a curious lack of support for Ahed from Western
feminist groups, human rights advocates and state officials who
otherwise present themselves as the purveyors of human rights and
champions of girls` empowerment...Even if we don`t launch campaigns
for Ahed, it is impossible for us to escape her call to witness the
mass debilitation, displacement and dispossession of her people. As
Nelson Mandela said, "We know too well that our freedom is
incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians." ca | 29/12/2017 |
