Now here`s a brillaint thought by one talkback reader, "One reason (for honor killing) is that since the Palestinian men are oppressed so fiercely by the occupation that their sole means of exercising control is by lording it over the women." So, the attempted murder of this women is partially political in nature and has to do with "oppression." That should certainly make a lot of men happy and provide for an interesting defense--should the perpetrator be brought to trial. But then please explain why "honor killings" are prevalent throughout Muslim society. Does Israel and the IDF occupy Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan too?
