GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The three Abrahamic religions as well as civil laws and regulations are in agreement against sexual acts among relatives, or incest. Such acts are considered a threat to communities, as they destabilize the core of all societies: the family.
Despite the criminal and social taboo aspects, which humanity is generally in agreement on, some people in Arab and Western societies, including Palestinian communities, continue to deviate from this proscription. Stories are emerging from the Gaza Strip of aberrant behavior that goes against everything that the religious Palestinian community stands for.
