Israeli police detain 7-year-old Palestinian child

Palestinian rock throwing children get illegally or at least per the OP unethically detained and interrogated.

Israeli rock throwing children get anti-tank weapons fired at their school buses, or suicide bombed.

The consequences for both sets of little rock throwers are indeed disturbing.

Link, please ?

Link, please ?

I am quite certain with your extensive knowledge of the region you are acutely aware of the school bus shot by an anti-tank weapon not too long ago, and if memory serves you were active in the VJ thread discussing the same.

There isn't enough bandwidth, nor do I have the time or inclination to post links to every Palestinian suicide bombing that killed or seriously injured a Jewish child. Surely with your very extensive knowledge of the region and the attention you give to regional events one or two such incidents (if not hundreds or at least dozens) come to mind?

What do "suicide bombings" have to do with Israeli police and soldiers complying with their own laws when it comes to treatment of Palestinian minors that they detain and interrogate ?

Maybe the thinking is that since a few extremists do bad things then it is OK to mistreat a whole people.

I've heard stuff like that on this board from a few members... just a few days ago someone was implying that Jews were partly responsible for the pograms in Europe and the Holocaust because - well, there were some Bolshevik criminals who were Jewish.

Yes and I noticed you fell into the trap and actually discussed the idiotic ramblings of that. It was a bait and you took it.

We all get guilty of it when we are passionate about our beliefs.

One of the most disturbing things is how routine this treatment of children has become - as if it's normal for soldiers to come to your house in the middle of night and demand that you wake up your children so that they might photograph them.

Watch as it happens:

Not my point at all, although I was offering contrasting scales of incidents. I think the incident in the OP is/was unfortunate and wrong. Make no mistake. And not justifiable even if social studies might indicate little rock throwers grow up to be suicide bombers or thug law enforcement officers when they grow up. Hypothesizing here, of course.

Perhaps there is a vicious cycle at work, leading certain actors on both sides to feel justified in behaving badly? Just a thought.

And detaining 6 or 7 year olds (and suicide bombings for that matter) might point to my hypothesis being sound? Crickets chirp after angry denials of bad actions from either side of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict.

i lost all sympathy and respect for palestinians about ten years ago.

was looking in a magazine at a news stand and was reading an article where a teenager was killed by the Israelis in a stone throwing situation.

the pictures of this childs funeral showed the rioters at this kids funeral ....they showed a human....wont call it a man.,.. took this child's brain in his hand and was holding it up with blood dripping down his arm

and screaming and whipping the crowd into a frenzy.

really? and i am supposed to feel what for this people and how it treats any human beings?

and lets not get into how much aid we wasted over there. we have poured so much US taxpayer money there each "palestinian" citizen should be a millionaire with gobs of US money to spare.

and guess who really has the money in their swiss bank accounts.

yes those in power.

There would be massive public outrage in Israel if Israeli police or soldiers did this to a Jewish child - people would demand official investigations, punishment of the culprits, "re-training" programs in proper procedure for handling minors, etc.

Any link for this story ? Because I can find no report of anything, anywhere, even resembling your account.

But apart from the complete dubiousness of your story, do you always form opinions of entire ethnic groups based on what you believe are the actions of one person, or one incident ?

If so, you must have no sympathy for anyone in the world.

All of the U.S. aid to the Palestinians (note: no quote marks) is part of Israel's welfare package - it's to pay off the PA for enforcing the occupation for Israel's benefit. Go Google which Israeli Prime Minister lobbied Obama to reinstate funding to the PA last month after the U.S. Congress voted to suspend it.

Please do not lie on here. That is not what I said. I said Jews played a major role in the Bolshevik movement and played a major part in murdering millions of Eastern Europeans including the Holodomor and that is the major reason Eastern Europeans proceeded to take revenge on Jews. When you learn a thing or two on European history then get back to me, until then stick to your Arab vids.

It was not just "some" but a lot. Now I posted proof of that even though anyone that has a clue it's common knowledge.
