One could say she was a victim of child abuse, having been raised in a culture of Jew-hatred, terror and glorification of “martyrs.”

A 15-year-old Palestinian girl in Jenin died of her wounds after being shot during an exchange of fire between local terrorists and Israeli forces during an IDF counterterrorism raid on Monday. She was in her front yard and hit by a stray bullet, according to eyewitnesses.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced Sadil Naghnaghi’s death on Wednesday morning.
Who was Naghnaghi? Was she an innocent girl who found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Not according to Arab affairs journalist Abu Ali. “Just before you start shedding tears, let me tell you that Sadil was not your average 15-year-old schoolgirl, at least not in Israeli/Western terms,” he wrote.
Interestingly, during a U.S. State Department briefing on Wednesday, a reporter who condemned Israel and asked why the U.S. continues to supply helicopters to the Jewish state told State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel that the teenaged girl “should be dreaming about boys and schools and things like this.”
According to Abu Ali, however, the hijab-wearing Sadil “had a romance with ‘Shahada’ (martyrdom) and with the ‘violent resistance.’”
Sadil, who unfortunately was raised by a jihadi-loving family – with two “martyred” cousins and three others imprisoned in Israel – “publicly expressed her desire for martyrdom more than once. Her friends and her surroundings knew this,” the report said.
“You asked to die a martyr’s death with all your heart and with full intent…. Congratulations on achieving what you wanted, but you burned our hearts,” one friend wrote on social media after Sadil died.
The report continues:
“In her Facebook profile picture, she appears as a young girl wearing a hijab and black clothing, holding an M16 rifle, and underneath it is written, ‘Allah, I will finish my life according to your will, and beyond that, there is only paradise.’”
Sadil’s profile pictures include images of weapons, Abu Ali said, noting that one photo includes her younger brother, about 10 years old, holding a rifle.
Abu Ali added that he doubts mainstream media will report these facts.
