Generations of terrorism and willful uselessness have deeply endeared Palestinians to the Left, and if they beat their wives, it can only be because the Israelis made them do it….as documented in medical journal The Lancet. Chesler Chronicles reports on a newly published article entitled “Association Between Exposure to Political Violence and Intimate-Partner Violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory: A Cross-Sectional Study” which affirms that the Israeli “occupation” causes Arab domestic abuse.

The Lancet is supposed to be a peer reviewed impartial and serious scientific journal producing valuable research (just like all those reputable climate journals AGW-pushing pamphlets) so you’d think that printing something funded in part by the Palestinian National Authority and with statistics provided by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics was likely to be a little, shall we say, partisan?

Despite their stated “feminist” perspective, the authors express no interest in how the terror war against Israel might affect violence against Israeli women, nor do they indicate awareness that barbaric treatment of women is the signature of Muslim culture throughout the world, even where there are no Jews around to blame.
