Based on gender equality, men and women have the same position, therefore there is no prohibition for women to engage in social interaction activities in the community. Women can express themselves because there is no prohibition, such as carrying out activities outside the home while still adhering to Islamic law. For example, it was once done by Aisyah (wife of the Prophet Muhammad) who led directly in the Jamal war or called the Camel war together with the companions of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. Apart from Aisyah, then there was Asma binti Yazid in the Khandaq war. Asma's role as food logistics in delivering food to the Muslim soldiers who were at war at that time.
The opening of the 1945 Constitution in the first paragraph states, "That in fact Independence is the right of all nations and therefore, colonialism in the world must be abolished, because it is not in accordance with humanity and justice."
Today, the world is not very good, the competition between big countries is getting sharper. This rivalry has become a big problem for the world to solve its challenges and problems. Some big countries also do not respect international law which if for example big countries especially in Europe respect international law which is certain Israel will be sued for its actions that committed genocide against the State of Palestine and other countries will certainly recognize the independence of Palestine and recognize that Israel's actions are illegal.
The struggle of the Hero "Kartini Palestine" continues to be fought for and echoed by the Palestinian people and during the conflict, women often become victims. However, the issue of violence against women in conflict or war is only a side issue that does not receive much attention. Based on UNFPA, 2011, many women became victims in the Palestine-Israel conflict, which amounted to around 37% of the total victims and the percentage continues to increase. On average, women fight back either to protect themselves or to protect their families from the Israeli army.
In addition to delivering food, Asma and the Muslim women also guarded the back lines, the aim was to encourage the Muslims who were fighting and remind them when they wanted to retreat from the battlefield. As in the battle of Yarmuk, Asma binti Yazid managed to kill nine Roman soldiers with her tent pole (Based on Republika, 2020). Apart from Asma binti Yazid, a Muslim woman, Hindun binti Utbah was also involved in the Yarmuk war.
According to Al-Bahnasawi, "politics is a way and effort to handle people's problems by using a set of laws to realize the welfare and prevent things that are detrimental to the interests of humanity." So politics is not only aimed at men, but also women and women are given political rights as a reflection that women are noble, honorable, and dignified.
The international community's response to the oppression and colonization carried out by Israel against Palestine is very diverse, especially implemented on the realization of the 2 states solution which is said to be a solution for peace between the 2 countries.

The hope is that in the future, the State of Palestine and the State of Israel can live in harmony, peace, and can establish economic cooperation between the 2 countries. These "Palestinian Kartini" are not only witnesses, but also subjects in fighting for independence and peace for their homeland.
With extraordinary courage, they have been able to stand alone since the first Intifada. Their hopes are certainly the hopes of their future generations for a future free from violence and injustice. And I hope that one day the world can witness independence and a sense of peace in Palestine and the Middle East in justice and the next generation will replace the old generation.
