In reality, the mandate to beat one’s wife is in the Qur’an:
“Men have authority over women because Allah has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because Allah has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
And contrary to widely distributed claims that Muhammad never beat his wives, and counseled Muslims only to beat theirs with a toothbrush, a hadith depicts Aisha recounting that Muhammad “struck me on the chest which caused me pain, and then said: Did you think that Allah and His Apostle would deal unjustly with you?” (Sahih Muslim 2127)
“U.N. Report Blames Israel for Palestinian Men Beating Their Wives,” by Adam Shaw, Breitbart, June 17, 2017:
A new report by a United Nations expert, and submitted to the U.N. Human Rights Council, blames Israel in part for Palestinian men beating their wives — offering more fuel to those in the Trump administration seeking to leave the council over its anti-Israel bias.
The document, first reported by U.N. Watch, which monitors the international body, was written by Dubravka Šimonović — the Special Rapporteur on violence against women — who filed dual reports based on her trips to the region in 2016. The report in question focuses on the “causes and consequences” of violence against women in the region.
In her filing on Israel, Šimonović highlights what she claims is a “clear linkage” between the “Israeli occupation” and Palestinian domestic abuse:
While recognizing the imperatives related to security and stability in the region, the Rapporteur highlights the clear linkage between the prolonged occupation and [violence against women], and she notes, like her predecessor, that the occupation does not exonerate the State of Palestine from its due human rights obligation to prevent, investigate, punish and provide remedies for acts of gender-based violence (GBV) in the areas and for persons under its jurisdiction or effective control.
The report states:
Several testimonies the Rapporteur collected highlighted that the economic situation, the level of unemployment and the pressure of the occupation have a greater impact on women’s and children’s lives, making them more vulnerable to domestic violence, in particular in Gaza, due to the constant pressure felt by the blockade and the recurring cycles of conflict, and the overcrowding that limits their mobility and privacy.
While Šimonović does partly blame traditions and culture within Palestinian society, her report still fingered Israel in those sections. For instance, the report claims that “decades of Israeli occupation in parallel with the continuation of patriarchal attitude in Palestinian society expose women to subordination and continuing violence.”
However, while in some places the report does state that what it calls “the State of Palestine” has a responsibility, it also mitigates that responsibility in other sections, at one point claiming: “the occupation is a real obstacle to the State’s due diligence obligation to prevent violence against women in areas where it does not have full jurisdiction…”
“Israeli occupation” refers to Israel’s presence in the West Bank, which is dotted with historic Jewish towns and Jewish holy sites; and eastern Jersualem [sic], home of the Western Wall and Temple Mount….

Of course it’s Israel’s fault.
Just like it’s the Republican’s fault that a congressman got shot.
I believe the abusers excuse is “if you didn’t annoy me so much, I wouldn’t have to do these things.”
BC says
That must be the cause of Muslim men beating their wives in USA and Europe also, now we know it is
it is all Israel’s fault for existing and resisting
mortimer says
BLAME-SHIFTING is a frequent feature in the Koran and hadiths. Blaming the Jooz for everything that goes wrong is a knee-jerk habit in Islam. Meanwhile, K.4.34 cannot be erased nor the hadiths nor tafsir-canonical-commentaries nor Sharia manuals and fatwas that endorse wife-beating.
There is a mountain of Islamic texts that endorse wife-beating.
• The Prophet said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.–Sunaan Abu Dawud, 11.2142.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Yes and even his favorite, Aisha, complained to him that the believer womenfolk were always black and blue, and the non-believer women were not.
gravenimage says
Yes–this also give the lie to the idea that wife beating was universal in the days of the “Prophet”.

Yes–Indians have actually suffered at the hands of Islam more than any other people–and estimated 80 million murdered. Many here at Jihad Watch know this.

Dubravka Šimonović is taking bribes from Muslims or she’s on drugs.

Wonder if there’s ever gonna come a time when the Jews will not be the world’s scapegoat for every one’s problems. Way past time they started taking a public stand and pushing back. Stop just standing quietly by and letting the Hamas Palestinians continue to push their lying propaganda of them as the poor innocent little oppressed peaceful people who are unjustly treated. And another thing, after this last threat from the Useless Nazis (UN), I hope Trump puts a boot up their ass and kicks their asses out of the country yesterday! And short of burning the UN to the ground, which should have been done a long time ago, I think Israel should walk in there right in the middle of their next pointless meeting and tell all those muzzie mf’s next time they think it makes a damn what they decide to “impose” on Israel, or think they have some authority to order Israel to do, they should take the “orders” in already passed concerning Israel and tear it up, drop it on the floor and spit on it and tell em all where to go.

I agree. If I were Jewish, I’d be fed up – and that’s putting it way too politely – with the rest of the world right now.
The Jewish have bought so many accomplishments, advancements, innovations and advancements to the rest of the world. Without them, we would be nowhere near the level we are at today. We need them, pure and simple. Just look at the Novel Prize winners that the Jewish regularly turn out.
All of us, around the planet, even the Muslims enjoy so many things as a result of the Jewish.
Like Lasers for Pete’s sake. And Pacemakers and the Defibrillator. How many Muslims around the world have a pacemaker inside them? How many had their lives saved thanks to a Doctor armed with a Defibrillator? Ungrateful wretches.
How about Stainless Steel? Or the Cholera vaccine – Yemen’s Muslims are currently receiving that vaccine, given they have an epidemic of it right now, given their ridiculous war over Islam vs Islam.
What about Polio???? We no longer have Polio in the civilized world, thanks to the Jews. The Muslims would also be free of it – if they weren’t so afraid of a Jewish vaccine. Polio was a curse that we have the Jews to thank for its eradication.
How about the most well known equation known that everyone with an education past the age of 8 knows? An equation that has changed the world, many many times over? E=Mc (squared). Iran are doing everything they can to build a nuke. Pakistan has their precious nukes – they wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for the Jewish. The very idea of Nuclear weaponry was invented by the Jewish. Funny how the Muslims are just itching to use that tech (that they can’t even puzzle out, without significant international help and cooperation) if it wasn’t for the very same race of people who they are so desperate to wipe out.
We owe the Jews. They deserve our respect, kindness, compassion and the same rights and protection that we want for ourselves, by dint of being non violent human beings and by dint of the incredible gifts they’ve bestowed upon the human race.

Ok, very basic kindergarten 101……whenever a man does anything violent (verbal or physical) towards a woman (especially someone he knows or is related do…) – Unless that woman is about to or is doing him imminent undo harm….than that man should be in TOTAL control of his faculties and emotions – thus in FULL control of His actions….he and he alone is responsible for his actions…..it doesn’t matter who you are or where you are or the circumstances or your ethnicity, nor ‘religious/ political background’….a man should be ALWAYS held accountable – and solely accountable, for his actions towards women……except in the case of imminent danger….
Very seriously, a kindergartener knows this……..are we clear?
It’s amazing to me and baffles my mind how people of some level of prominence have risen to the positions they have – and be complete morons/ guppy’s, intentionally deceitful and evil furthering either their own – or someone else’s agenda.
Post-thought….ooops…gosh, I’m kinda like the pot calling the kettle black…throwing stones when I live in a glass house…..you see, every year I blame the North Pole for not getting what I want every Christmas…..
mgoldberg says
The ideas are foundational: if the kuffirs, especially the jews, and the christians, and hindhus and buddhists and all the atheistics would just die, then the muslims could be happy and learn how to not beat their wives in frustration. Therefore, it’s the fault of 80% of humanity who aren’t muslms that the other 20% suffer from frustration.
Makes sense, if you take a hatpin and stick it in your frontal lobes, and turn rthymically, yes indeed….
You see, the whole point is that non muslims are occupying this earth and the muslim is indeed suffering
hatred, jealousy and this occupation, should end.
Barry says
Follow-up post….Though this comment is not directly related to Palestinian muslim wife-beating…..I work with statistics/ numbers and data analysis…..I’d love to see the data on the so-called ‘Sharia’ courts’ rulings on domestic abuse from the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden…..I’d just love to chart that out…..I have a good idea of what the charts would look like…… ‘0’ for the plaintiff….

Thanks for the links, Livingengine.

somehistory says
The idiot should be looking at Australia where the moslums are said to be needing non-worshippers to be “sensitive” to their need to beat their wives.
It’s a “cultural” thing…but when blame can be laid on the Jews or Christians, then the psychopathic blamers are at the ready.
But, all this wife-beating by moslums in their culture has nothing to do with islum. Just as their cultural need to be shedding blood and forcing their evil on everyone else has nothing to do with islum.
Minutes1234 says
Islam has several cultural mores and these are violence against unbelievers, self pity, cretinism, blaming the victim, deciet, conquest, fascism and terror.

An older man punches a little girl in the breast, hard – and he is loved, worshiped and emulated by over a billion people alive today.
And he does this, after marrying her when she is tiny and rapes her repeatedly, a few years later, when she is still undoubtedly a little girl – for years and years until his death. And well before starting his campaign of rape on a little girl, he is documented to have sucked on her tongue like a lecherous old pervert, touched her all over in a sexual manner – and forced her to completely cover up – all while she played in a tent with dolls.
Says it all, really. He was a filthy vile, sickening POS. Those who love him, worship him, emulate him and defend him are simply just the same as him. A religion packed to the rafters with obscene, worthless monsters.
Matthieu Baudin says
Yes, very good points you make Sarah. How do literate Muslims manage to turn a blind eye to the depravity of The Messenger? It’s quite disturbing to contemplate. I know a woman, who while on holiday in a North African Muslim Country, was thinking aloud and naively brought up these very features of Mohammed’s conquest of the young child Aisha – she was extremely lucky to come within earshot of a couple of women who took her aside, not to admonish her, but to drew to her attention the great danger to which she was exposing herself.

The UN has reached its use-by date. Why the West bothers with this now Muslim controlled organisation is beyond me. It is a blot on the human landscape. The first to leave should be the USA. It is effectively funding its own enemies. Still, there is nothing new about that. Every Muslim on welfare is a funded enemy one way or another.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Yes, yes, yes!!
I especially like your: “The UN has reached its use-by date.”
