Daughters are valued in Israel

Just like American women, Israeli women are free to lead, free to write and publish, free to be themselves, free to dress as they please, free to date who they want, free to drive, free to work, free to choose their own mates, free to study, free to travel abroad without the consent of a male relative, and free to make reproductive choices. Women in the surrounding Muslim countries are still waiting. According to Khaled Al-Qudra, former Attorney General in the Palestinian National Authority, 70% of all murders in Gaza and the West Bank are honor killings of Palestinian women by their families.
