Each time a murder committed in the name of “honor” is referred to as a killing, it glosses over the brutality of the murder. These are not women who were killed in the line of duty or killed by a bus on the way to work. These are women who died as a result of someone intentionally murdering them. Referring to these murders as killings also insinuates that the murdering of women is somehow more normal, more part of Palestinian culture.
