4:20 "First, there are a lot of words that have no meaning such as traditions and customs and norms. That's why these crimes should be called killing women, not honour killings."
Boom. There it is.

The fact that murdering your own family would ever even occur to you, is a moral nosedive into the abyss.

[acrobaticswitches]

When the reputation of your family means more to you than the life of your family there is something inherently wrong and corrupt.

[SirEnzo]

Those that commit "honor" killings against their sisters, aunts, mothers, etc. need to be hung publicly and shamed for eternity.

"if you are copying americans" what a rude thing to say after that man stood up for the good change in his society, very disrepctful

[emibud]

The guy at 4:16 really touched my heart, and he put his point across so strongly and passionately. He is hope for the new generation!

A sure sign of a very sick society: when u think that killing your daughter/sister "clears" your family's reputation.

I like Coreys videos. Im a muslim and I feel his is relatively fair.

[Muzikman]

"If you're copying Americans"??

What, because America invented feminism and social justice? Gimme a break

[hansfrankfurter]

Corey feels insecure about Palestinians giving him answers that seem too “liberal”. He has to jab them with dumb sarcastic comments like “copying Americans” . As if Israel never copies anything from the west 😂

[tapsars]

There are hundreds of cases of honour killings in my home country of India . These killings are found in Hindu, Muslim or other religious communities . What I find disgusting is that these killings are reserved mainly for the female gender . Why don't men suffer the same fate if such killings are justified ??!! Disgusting !!!

[dhti]

It shoudl be called killings, not honor killings. Very good comment from the guy in the video.

[TehMuNjA]

"If you're copying Americans" wow way to dismiss and disrespect this mans words, so you think this rhetoric is all empty and fake? maybe he actually stands for something, do you corey?

[malthesrensen]

8:42 Badass translator. The courage to call his answer a bullshit answer in front of a guy who just said there are situations where honor killing is ok.

[danielwilliams]

Most answers were heartening. The guy at 4:22 was the best. Great dude.

[TheScoutRocks]

"if you are copying Americans" is this supposed to be a snarky anti-sjw comment or something? It's pretty out of place and genuinely confusing

[karenwoods]

Honour killings are disgraceful and should be treated as murders. There's no honour in murder

[retrogamer]

That man that said that the honour killings didn't come from the law, they came from the culture
That was a good answer

[andrewjones]

Tradition is no excuse. Same goes for FGM, child marriage, forced marriage etc.
