People often sustain injuries whilst resisting
arrest----LOTS AND LOTS In a place
I once worked----scores of arrestees were
brought to the hospital emergency room daily.
The ALL complained of horrific abuse.

In the US---resisting arrest is also a crime---
 
In Israel children are not incarcerated with adults The problem here lies
with what islamo nazi pigs decide to call "children" They seen to have
a habit of describing fully grown 17 year olds who attempt murder or
who do murder as "children". Fact is-----in the USA we prosecute such
monsters as adults too They are too dangerous to imprison together with
children. Even in USA jails----JIHADIST SCUM are very dangerous to the
other convicts and to the guards

According to this 2010 article:
...343 Palestinian children were being held in Israeli prisons, according to Defence for Children International (DCI), which took up the Muhtaseb case. Israel routinely prosecutes Palestinian children as young as 12 and the Israeli legal system treats Palestinians as adults when they turn 16, but Israelis become adults only at 18. Ill-treatment and torture of Palestinian children are "widespread, systematic and institutionalised", DCI said in a report last year.

and IRIN Middle East | ISRAEL-OPT: Israel denies Palestinian children are jailed illegally | Israel | OPT | Children | Conflict | Human Rights

Iyad Misk is a lawyer for the NGO Defence for Children International (DCI) in the occupied Palestinian territories (OPT). He said international law allows for the detention of children or adolescents under 18, but under specific conditions.

“A specialised interrogator for children should interrogate them. The interrogation should be filmed and the parents should attend to be sure that the child was not subject to psychological pressure or abuse,” Misk said.

He added that minors should appear before a special tribunal for children and only be detained in facilities dedicated exclusively for them, never with adults.

“All these conditions are not provided to Palestinian children detained by the Israeli authorities, although they do provide it for Israeli child prisoners," Misk said, adding that Israeli authorities try Palestinian children in military courts - another contravention of international law.

Misk said Article 37 of the UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child states that detaining children should be a measure of last resort, and must be for the shortest possible period of time. Israel signed this pact in 1990 but the NGO’s lawyers say that it is only being applied to Israeli children.

Now, that is a 2006 article so Israel might have improved conditions, however this 2011 article casts some doubt on there being much improvement:


Palestinian children routinely jailed for throwing stones
By Libby Powell
...But two human rights groups have this week published reports that uncover the price Palestinian children pay for their actions. Israeli organization B’Tselem has released ‘No Minor Matter’, a study of children like Malek – arrested on suspicion of throwing stones between 2005 and 2010.

Of the 853 children arrested, all were prosecuted, and 852 were jailed.

In response, the Israeli military have said that these are children exploited by extremist groups and the sentences act as a necessary deterrent. But lawyer Gerard Horton, who works for Defence for Children International (DCI), reminds us that these are the actions of children, not terrorists. ‘Boys worldwide throw stones. In Palestine, when the Israeli military come into these children’s villages, some boys do throw stones out of anger and frustration in an act of spontaneous resistance.’

Each year, approximately 700 Palestinian children are arrested and prosecuted in military courts, the majority on charges of throwing stones. These courts can and do imprison children as young as 12, even though Israeli civilian law prohibits the imprisoning of a child under 14 years of age.

According to B’Tselem’s latest report, 60 per cent of the children jailed for stone throwing between 2005 and 2010 were aged 14 or under. Prison terms range from a few days to over a year. One 14-year-old boy was sentenced to 20 months, while nearly a third of minors aged 14-15 are locked up for four months or more.

The majority of children are imprisoned inside Israel – an act which violates Article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. In practical terms, this makes it difficult, and in some cases impossible for their parents to visit them. To add to their isolation, they are also barred from using a phone.

Reports of torture and mistreatment are common. A report submitted to the UN Special Reporteur on Torture by the DCI, a day after B’Tselem went public with its findings, outlines grave concerns about the systematic mistreatment of children held in Israeli military detention.

Child suspects are often taken by the military from the family home at night. Once arrested, the report states that they are often beaten before being blindfolded and their hands tied: ‘The child will then be placed into the back of a military vehicle where they usually suffer further physical and psychological abuse on the way the interrogation and detention centre.’
 
Defending terrorists is defending evil. It is forbidden in the bible for Christians to be involved in such a thing.
 
Defending terrorists is defending evil. It is forbidden in the bible for Christians to be involved in such a thing.

Then why would you defend Israel? A country that was established partly through terroristic tactics? Or for that matter a host of other nations who, now that they are established, get to call the shots on who is and is not considered terrorist?
 
Palestinian youth severely beaten by Israeli soldiers near Huwara

Defence for Children International-Palestine Section March 2, 2013

"Ramallah —Two Israeli soldiers wrestled a Palestinian youth to the ground and severely beat him around the Huwara checkpoint near Nablus on Saturday during clashes with demonstrators supporting Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike. Israeli soldiers detained Shaker M, 17, who was among a group of stone-throwing Palestinian youth attempting to flee the scene, according to Adnan Rabi, a lawyer with Defence for Children International Palestine. The soldiers repeatedly punched and kicked Shaker and struck him with their rifles, injuring his arm and breaking his right thumb when he tried to protect his head. Shaker had a broken nose, black left eye, and multiple bruises on his body when Rabi saw him in the Israeli Salem military court, north of Jenin, on Wednesday. He was later taken to hospital and had a cast put on his hand. The judged ordered the military prosecution to investigate the case and report back to the court, Rabi said.

"The excessive use of force in this case is extreme, but not shocking given the frequency of such incidents," said Rabi. "During arrest, transfer and interrogation, Palestinian children report that they are often subjected to some form of physical violence, such as being shoved, slapped, kicked or punched. When arrests occur in tense situations the physical violence is generally more severe.""

The arab or left wing propoganda rags mean nothing. The left wing groups nonsense is even worse than that.

They just make shit up.

Everyone makes shit up. You just happen to agree with some made up shit and disagree with other made up shit.
 
Connery,

You are going to have to do better than that, to prove anything here, about the conflict today in Palestine. Suicide bombings stopped in 2006, your 2006 article says nothing about anything happening today in Palestine. Suicide bombings stopped in Palestine in 2006 after Hamas announced they were stopping them, and their announcement was made in 2006. Anything that happened in 2006 has zero relevance to address Israel's continuing violations of intl law in their detentions of Palestinian prisoners today.

"Palestine" was just the European name for Israel so your dopey group's name is invalid

I wonder when muslims started using the name "PALESTINE"----it is
actually ----the christian name---in the sense that rome put it to
use right before it became the "HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE" I do not
believe it was in common use in ROME before that time.
The title for PONTIUS PILATE was PREFECT OF JUDEA and
they called herod KING OF JUDEA

anyone got any idea?

Even funnier, since there is no letter p in Arabic, so-called palestinians, who are just Arabs, cannot even write their own invented identity in their native Arabic language. Dumbasses! :lol:

The first time the name "palaestina" came into official use was in the second century under Roman rule when Hadrian arbitrarily changed Israel to "syria palaestina" in an attempt to erase 1000 years of Jewish nationhood in Israel, in retribution for the Bar Kokhba Revolt. Earlier the Romans erased Carthage after they suffered defeat by salting the ground in order to prevent regrowth of vegetation.

Hadrian also changed Jerusalem to Aelia Capitolina, named after himself, Publius Aelius Hadrianus, though, Jerusalem is the correct name as Israel is the correct name.

This is a report from a children's human rights organization, DCI Palestine

Israel unlawfully transfers 60% of Palestinian child detainees 28 Feb 2013 News Alerts Detention Ill Treatment / Torture

"Ramallah, 28 February 2013—Data recently compiled by Defence for Children International Palestine shows that Israeli authorities unlawfully transferred nearly 60 percent of Palestinian child detainees to detention facilities inside Israel in violation of international law. Overall, 223 Palestinian children were detained and imprisoned in the Israeli military court system in January, an increase of 14 percent from December 2012 according to data obtained by DCI–Palestine from the Israel Prison Service. The number of children held in detention facilities inside Israel in January increased significantly as 132 Palestinian child detainees were transferred out of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, an increase of 33 percent from December 2012.

“The evidence is compelling that the illegal forcible transfer of Palestinian children to prisons inside Israel is systematic within the Israeli military court system,” said Ayed Abu Eqtaish, Accountability Program Director at DCI-Palestine. “These transfers are potentially harmful because they practically ensure little or no contact with family members....Article 76 specifically prohibits the transfer of individuals out of occupied territory stating “[p]rotected persons accused of offences shall be detained in the occupied country, and if convicted they shall serve their sentences therein.” According to Article 147, unlawful transfers are considered a grave breach of the convention. Since 1967, more than 730,000 Palestinian men, women and children are estimated to have been prosecuted in Israeli military courts and imprisoned, according to Professor John Dugard, former UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967."

Article 76 of The Fourth Geneva Convention keeps being deliberately violated over and over and over again, there are thousands of detainees, adults and children, that have been imprisoned outside of the Occupied Territories in clear violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. I call these type of deliberate violations grave violations and war crimes.

January of 2013 Information On Child Detainees Compiled By DCI Palestine

Each year approximately 500–700 Palestinian children, some as young as 12 years, are detained and prosecuted in the Israeli military court system. The most common charge is for throwing stones. The overwhelming majority of these children are detained inside Israel in contravention of Article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

223 children detained (Up 14.3% from prior month) According to the latest figures compiled by DCI from sources including the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) and Israeli army temporary detention facilities, there were 223 Palestinian children (12-17 years) in Israeli detention at the end of January 2013. This represents an increase of 28 children (14%) from the previous month

132 detained inside Israel (Up 33%) from prior month)

31 children aged 12–15 (Up 34.8% from prior month)

12-15 year olds In January there was an increase in the number of young children (12–15 years) being prosecuted in Israeli military courts and receiving custodial sentences in prisons inside Israel. At the end of January, there were 31 young children in detention, an increase of 8 children (34.8%) from the December 2012

"14 January 2013 Name of victim: Salah S. Age at time of arrest: 15 years Accusation: Throwing stones Place of residence: „Azzun, Qalqiliya, West Bank While looking for sage in a small forest near his village, Salah encountered four Israeli soldiers at around 4:00 p.m. He was physically and verbally abused; his hands were tied behind his back with a single plastic cord, blindfolded and arrested without any explanation. He was brought to a military jeep and forced to sit on the metal floor. During transfer to Ari'el police station he was insulted and physically and verbally abused. Upon arrival at Ari'el police station around 7:00 p.m., he was interrogated without the presence of a lawyer and was not informed of his rights. Salah's hands remained tied during interrogation and he was physically assaulted in the interrogation room. He confessed to throwing stones and signed a statement in Arabic, but was not allowed to read it and the document was not explained to him. He was then blindfolded and transferred to Huwarra interrogation and detention centre where a doctor asked him general questions about his health, he was strip searched and detained until the following day. At 12:00 p.m. the next day, he was transferred to Megiddo prison inside Israel. Salah appeared before a military judge for the first time on 17 January 2013, nearly three full days after his arrest. His detention was extended until the the end of legal proceedings. His next military court appearance is scheduled for 11 March 2013."
