Over 375 Palestinian children aged 12-17 were arrested by Israeli authorities in 2016, mostly for stone throwing. Ahed Tamimi’s clashes with IDF troops went viral. Israeli authorities have filed 12 charges against a 16-year-old West Bank girl who slapped and kicked a soldier outside her home in a viral video. Stunning footage. Twenty-year-old Ahed and her cousin Nur Tamimi evict two armed intruders. Kicks and slaps defend Ahed from a soldier. The soldier swears off conflict. Ahed’s mother, Nariman Tamimi, wants the military out. After the incident, Israeli authorities arrested all three women for assault. Nariman Tamimi, on trial for inciting violence on Facebook Live, is a good example. Ahed Tamimi faces 12 accusations, including instigating violence and stone throwing. Both sides of the Green Line showed fight footage. Palestinians applauded Ahed’s defiance. Joan of Arc and Malala Yousafzai admired her. Ahed’s father, Bassem Tamimi, an experienced activist, was imprisoned in 2012 for rally preparation and incitement to violence by Israeli police. Tragic.” This article examines regional politics using Ahed’s symbolism. She represents Israeli military moderation. She may represent Palestinian tenacity. Yasser Arafat, the former Palestinian president, and Marwan Barghouti, a life-sentenced Israeli assassin, couldn’t be more different. Young Internet celebrity Ahed. Ahed’s online works better reflect Palestinian youth because her likeness is more likely to be accepted on cutting-edge self-publishing platforms than on Israel’s separation barrier. Only 23-year-old Gazan Mohamed Assaf, the 2013 Arab Idol winner, has done this. Highlighted is one Palestinian’s internet fame. Ahed’s not famous because she was filmed fighting Israeli security last month. As the Turkish military held her brother, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoan invited her to visit. She bit the disguised soldier who tried to kidnap her younger brother after three years. Repeated last month’s routine. According to reports, Ahed testified in an Israeli military court that her cousin Muhammad Tamimi was hit in the head with a rubber bullet an hour before the confrontation. Israel’s Times reported. She saw the troops who assaulted her relative leave her relative’s house. That’s “I answered.“ Ahed’s history has made her a sensation, according to Ben Ehrenreich, author of The Road to the Spring: Life and Death in Palestine. The Nabi Saleh community is unique because “they have had these protests and have dedicated themselves to a course of peaceful resistance against the occupation,“ Ehrenreich said. Key points are emphasized. Palestinian protesters and Israeli security forces, media, and activists clash here weekly, making it a symbol of resistance to the occupation. The Tamimis’ years-long promotion of Nabi Saleh’s exploits would lead to something. Ahed’s unique appearance and family history have impressed Israelis and non-Jews. In a 2012 article about the Tamimi family, Barbara Ehrenreich called Aya Tamimi “unavoidably blonde, light-skinned, and light-eyed“. Making Palestinians “other“ takes time. White or Anglo babies stop dehumanization and “othering.“ Panic.” Ahed was lauded and criticized when she debuted. Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Michael Oren claimed that Ahed was paid to appear in “American costume“ to provoke armed troops. According to Haaretz’s Amira Haas, “In Nabi Saleh, the Palestinians Aren’t Legally Blonde,“ Israel is obsessed with Tamimi because of her hair color. “Shirley Temple“ is her common name. The hundreds of Palestinian youths who attacked Israeli soldiers are unknown. Fewer have achieved national prominence or malign influence. Ahed’s attorney, Gaby Lasky, stressed the importance of video footage of the altercation. She thought the video presented opposing Israeli-Palestinian views. Other Palestinian adolescents represented by Lasky have not received as much media attention as Ahed. Lasky believes the Ahed symbolism debate is over. The prosecution and military seem to have ignored her 16-year-old age. Ahed and other Palestinians should reconsider challenging Israeli rule. The IDF and police filmed her detention at night and released it to the media. Israel uses her unknowingly as a symbol. Tamimi’s popularity shows how digital media has changed conflict portrayal. Events unfolded. An Israeli military court will surely convict Tamimi.
