The United Nations Committee on the Right of the Child has issued a report today faulting the Israeli military for its “systematic” abuse of Palestinian children, noting that it not only routinely denies Palestinians basic rights, but also regularly tortures them during detention.
Palestinian children who get detained are interrogated in Hebrew, a language virtually none of them speak, and if they are ever to be released they are forced to sign a “confession” to whatever crimes the Israeli military pleases. Again, the confession is in Hebrew, so they have no clue what they’re confessing to.
Physical and verbal abuse are the orders of the day in Israeli military custody, as are arbitrary detentions and confessions extracted by threats of rape or execution, either of themselves or their families.
Incredibly, the Israeli Foreign Ministry didn’t appear to question the contents of the report, but only faulted the committee on the grounds that UNICEF had pointed out the exact same thing several months ago, and they felt it was “redundant” to keep pointing it out.
They don't tie them on the hood of their jeeps anymore … since they got America Humvees. But they do use them to lead the way in a raid.
They make good target practice.
What is REDUNDANT is that Israel keeps on punishing Palestnian children. Can't the UN do something about this?>
UNNNNNNNNNNNN…, this is an on going systematic social politics by the Israel apartheid regime for last 60 years…, wake up.., it is time to take action then just empty words.., tell the Saudis and Qatari., the world knows the kind of brutality of an apartheid regime, people of South Africa have witnessed it, live with it and did by it, the Israeli regime is as brutal as Dutch-Holland and other European and american who invaded the South African nation.., so is the fact with present Israel.
The Saudis and Qatari? WTF are they going to do, they have their own oppressive regimes against women all set up what can they possibly say to the Israelis? your doing it wrong?
What do you expect from a nation whose Foreign Minister was convicted of savagely beating a 12 year old child [jewish] to the point of requiring hospital care? The only reason that Avigdor Lieberman is not FM now is that he is being prosecuted for corruption. Once that criminal matter is broomed Bibi has assured him he can have his old job back.
The zionist are god`s chosen people and america`s
Main Stream Media memo: Ignore this topic.
Israel's Mideast malevolence is a purposeful sideshow. It enables the ever increasing Israeli/Jewish control of America's government, finances and military-industrial complex. The Jewish state has occupied not just Palestine, but America too. Our democracy is being methodically destroyed from within and transformed into a world dominating racist ultrapower, the JEWISH STATE OF AMERICA.
I guess "Never again" only applies if they are talking about jewish people. What has really happened is the jewish people lost the war with the Nazis, because they now act like the Nazis. If they didn't then I would say they won the war, but it is clear that they became more like their own enemy, instead of maintaining their own humanity.
A horrible statement of redundancy. What a government without ethics, moral and soul!
