IsraHell charging Palestinian Children for throwing stones

Read on Pakistan Cyber Force Facebook Page


IsraHelli forces have been criticized of arresting and mistreating Palestinian children as young as 8 years old and below on stone-throwing charges. In a Monday report, IsraHelli rights group B'Tselem blasted the IsraHelli police for “systematically violating the law” in its treatment of Palestinian children being investigated on suspicion of throwing stones, the Jerusalem Post reported. IsraHelli authorities arrested more than 80 Palestinian minors, as young as eight years old, between November 2009 and October 2010, the report highlighted.
The children were detained on suspicion of throwing stones at IsraHell is in the Silwan neighborhood of East al-Quds (Jerusalem). The rights group added that the minors were taken from their homes in the middle of the night and interrogated -- at times without having their parents present. It has also accused the authorities of using extreme violence and handcuffs on children. The IsraHelli police have dismissed the report, insisting that the arrests were legal. B'Tselem's report was based on interviews the rights group conducted with 30 Palestinian minors who had been arrested by the police in the past year. In October, Mansur, 12, and Iyad Gheit, 10, were hit by the vehicle driven by a hardliner leader of IsraHelli settlers in Silwan. Mansur had his leg broken while Gheit was taken to hospital to have glass particles taken out of his arm.

They initially resisted being transferred to hospital -- apparently reminded of frequent occasions when their friends are taken away by IsraHelli troops on a regular basis. Extremist settler leaders encourage moving into dense Palestinian neighborhoods in East al-Quds, in line with IsraHell's policy of Judiazation of the city. Clashes between Palestinian residents and IsraHelli forces are common in East al-Quds, where Tel Aviv's heavy military presence and settlement activities easily provoke the Palestinian majority living in the the illegally annexed city. Palestinians accuse IsraHell of efforts to remove the Islamic and Palestinians identity of East al-Quds by judaizing the city they see as the capital of their future independent state, and thus make the formation of a Palestinians state unfeasible.
