On Ziva, punches and domestic abuse

[littlesammy]

This rant has been brewing for a while in me, and today feels like a good day to tackle it. It is, however, a controversial topic, and I fully expect some followers to wander off after I voice these thoughts, but in the end? I'd rather look in the mirror than at my follower list.

Excellent analysis. I have missed reading your analyses these few weeks!
I didn't even know that there were pro-Ziva people who criticized the punch because its definitely something anyone here would have done under the same circumtances (giving Ray the punch I mean, not criticizing Ziva!). Nothing to feel guilty about whatsoever.

I agree, the emotional manipulation when they were in the park made me really uncomfortable. Not only was he grabbing her and push/pulling her physically, he tried to embarrass/peer pressure her into saying yes!
