It attempts to emotionalise Israel hatred using “children” and their unverified stories about their experience in Israeli detentions and jails.<br /><br />When we talk about Palestinian “children” let us not forget that the massacre of the Fogel Family in Itamar on 11 March 2011 (the father, mother, and three children 11, 4 and 3 month baby) was carried out by “children”.<br /><br />Anyone who knows anything about returned Palestinian prisoners, or indeed any returned Arab prisoners, would know that as soon as they are back home they ALL claim mal-treatment and torture; even if they were to be accommodated in the presidential suite of the Dan Hotel in Tel-Aviv or King David Hotel in Jerusalem for the term of their incarceration, their story would not have changed one bit.<br /><br />Whether they are “children” or not, upon return, they are all coached, made to sign a “affidavits” and hurled before the international press – not that media organisations such as the Guardian need any encouragement when it comes to Israel hatred.<br /><br />These two “children” that the Guardian interviewed did not produce a shred of physical signs of torture, nor were they asked to do so by the Guardian (or if they were and could not, it was edited out).<br /><br />Does anyone really believe that the IDF, Sheen Beth and the military courts would waste their time in arresting and interrogating and convicting innocent children at random? If you do, I have a Harbour Bridge to sell you, the Opera House will come as a bonus.<br /><br />Much was made on the fact that these “children” were arrested at 2:30 am; I have some news for Ms. Sherwood, most arrests by police, any police, in any country, take place in the early hours of the morning because this is the best time to find the suspects at home – the fact that in the West Bank the Army does the arrest is a reflection of the applicable military law (Israel Police has no jurisdiction over Palestinians living in the West Bank).<br /><br />However, once Palestinian suspects are brought into Israel the Israeli Law applies although he or she are still under the military jurisdiction. <br /><br />The military court system in Israel IS NOT part of the IDF but forms an independent subsection of the Israeli justice system – the judges are PROFESSIONAL JUDGES, and are appointed by the president of Israel (as all judges are); they may be in active or reserve military service; the proceedings are no different than those in the civilian courts, except that the judge(s), the prosecution and the military defence have military ranks and wear uniform (civilian defence lawyers are permitted to represent the accused). <br /><br />The decisions of a military courts in Israel can be appealed in the Military Appeal Court whose decisions can be further appealed in Israel High Court of Justice (equivalent to the Australian High Court) – How does this compared with the “justice” system of the PA, the Hamas or indeed any Arab country for that matter.<br /><br />As to accusation of “torture”, the Israeli Law, specifically prohibits “enhanced interrogations methods” UNLESS in cases known as “ticking bomb”; throwing stones certainly does not fall into that category. This law has passed the scrutiny of the High Court of Justice.<br /><br />But you would not find any of that in the Guardian and its ilk in a months of Sundays.<br /><br />Here is the link to the Guardian article:<br />http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jan/22/palestinian-children-detained-jail-israelJacobhttp://jacobklamer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-46138893843164235972012-02-01T01:02:27.692+11:002012-02-01T01:02:27.692+11:00Thanks as usual, Ian.
