A Palestinian man from the West Bank is accusing of killing his pregnant Israeli Jewish girlfriend to "free Palestinian prisoners." Michal Halimi, 29, who was married to another man, was initially reported missing in May 2017, reports The Jerusalem Post.

Police eventually found her body in Binyamin region of the West Bank on July 24, 2017, after 29-year-old, Muhammad Harouf, confessed he killed her. Authorities say Halimi was staying with Harouf, whom they call her boyfriend, when he killed her.

"In the course of the investigation, it emerged that the missing woman had voluntarily left Binyamin, and apparently was staying at the home of a young Palestinian man from Nablus with whom she was in a relationship," police said. Based on preliminary findings, including images and posts the two shared on Facebook, they intended to become engaged," police added.

Harouf insists there was no love affair, and confessed he instead strangled Halimi before bashing her head with rocks to "release Palestinian prisoners," reports the Los Angeles Times. Harouf was arraigned on first-degree murder charges at the Jerusalem Magistrates Court.

Halimi's family is not buying the police's "love story." They accuse authorities of making it up to cover up their poor investigation, and to make the murder look less terrorism-related. Whatever the motive, the case provoked outrage, only raising tensions between many Israelis and Palestinians.

Many viewed it as "proof" Arabs are untrustworthy and inherently aggressive. "An entire civilization without a conscience," wrote one person about Palestine under The Jerusalem Post's article.

"A scorpion stings, a snake bites," added another. "Why the surprise?"

It's just one of many stories depicting an interaction between Arabs and Jews in the West Bank area -- and not all of them are bad. In July 2016, Rabbi Michael Mark was driving in the West Bank with his family when a Palestinian gunman opened fire on his car, reports The New York Times.

The car flipped over. The rabbi died, but his wife and two of his 10 children were still in the car.

It was a Palestinian man who first stopped to help the people in the car.

"I instantly stopped my car and rushed toward it to provide aid to the wounded," said Palestinian Dr. Ali Shrouk, " I didnt care that my life, and the lives of my family members who were with me, could be at risk. It doesn't matter if somebody is a settler, a Jew or an Arab," he added. "Thank God we helped them."

Islam al-Bayed, another Palestinian, also immediately rushed to help the family, The Associated Press reports.

"I didn't think of the occupation or the conflict," he said. "I thought only of human beings, children who needed my help."

That would be horrifically unpleasant for you and everyone in the surrounding area and would almost certainly result in your instant death....

I blame it on the lack of diversity and multiculturalism in Israel.

Open borders for Israel!

This was the story of GOOD interactions between Muslims and Israelis in Gaza and the West Bank....

How stupid do you have to be to stereotype based on a single individual's actions?

You really aren't going to suggest that this is an isolated incident, are you?

Like, seriously?

I should've worded that differently. I'm well aware that this happens frequently, but my point is don't assume that all Palestinians are bad. I don't know whether it's some or most of them that are evil, but I do know that not all of them are.

Kinda my point - they couldn't just find a random story between Palestinians and Jews that doesn't start with the Jew in question being assaulted by a Palestinian.

That's kind of the soft bigotry of low expectations there. It's only a "good" interaction if you assume most Palestinians would have just murdered the rest of the family after the innocent rabbi was shot. Otherwise, it's just basic human decency.

I think the point is that both Israel and Palestine are full of people who are humans with basic human decency who just want to get on with their lives.

Which is something you would not think if you just followed news head lines.

Reminds me of the joint Muslim/Christian funerals that were going on when Palestine was being bombed. Something that doesn't even happen in America.

It's easy to lose sight of that if you're emotional. But this is much more complex than a conventional war.

We should integrate the Palestinians into Israel's society, and free the innocent Palestinian prisoners. We need to open the borders of Israel

If 'basic human decency' was a common enough trait amongst Palestinians, Hamas wouldn't have been elected to their government, and the 'good interaction' story wouldn't have started with attempted murder of a Rabbi.

I think you're just telling yourself that because you want to think killing everyone in Palestine is a good idea without remorse.
