Palestine’s Joan of Arc

Another notable view came up in a dialogue on an Israeli television channel, where one interlocutor said that these children became the Jeanne D’arc/Joan of Arc of Palestine in the Palestinian struggle for freedom, the same as Joan of Arc fought for the freedom of France. In the opinion of another Israeli, the soldier whom Tamimi slapped in the face was so moral and human that he did not retaliate to the blow. There is also an Israeli body of opinion which maintains that Palestinian families have the right to prevent soldiers from entering their homes and breaking through their walls with limited means of violence, but without using weapons because the soldiers do not have any documents allowing them to enter the house and violate its sanctity.
