The room is barely wider than the thin, dirty mattress that covers the floor. Behind a low concrete wall is a squat toilet, the stench from which has no escape in the windowless room. The rough concrete walls deter idle leaning; the constant overhead light inhibits sleep. The delivery of food through a low slit in the door is the only way of marking time, dividing day from night.
This is Cell 36, deep within Al Jalame prison in northern Israel. It is one of a handful of cells where Palestinian children are locked in solitary confinement for days or even weeks.

islamic law for children is pretty tough. i'm assuming the kids there would not be particularly impressed if you gave them american style rights and protections as they are accustomed to strict justice/punishment. not that i agree with their treatment, just consider that part of the world is not people friendly for any body, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or religion. i'd make allowances for ashkenazi jews but they are also targets, kids or not, so i don't think there's a moral high ground in this situation. the only thing to do, is to butt out as ron paul has suggested, and let these two groups of the same family tree, work out their problems. the family feud needs to
cease and desist so it doesn't drag the entire planet into oblivion.
i'm always shocked when people freak out about stuff like this but don't have the same reaction to bombs doing the same thing on a much worse scale. innocent civilians, women, children men old people infants handicapped, are killed in wars and bombings that all sides have participated in. and then they go all wacky in the brain pan about something like this, which is obviously wrong, but um, gee, how about we all figure out the part where it's even worse to just blow people up.

How about listing the names of these kids and their crimes before whining about it!
Considering police in the US will beat or even kill you for a small infraction or even disagreeing with them.
These guys are lying you can tell by their actions when they have to look up and in a different direction before they answer a question.
I dont buy it for one minute, even if it were true ..

That should show you how untouchable the AIPAC has made the Israeli people.
Writing that you should kill Obama is (obviously ??) considered free speech in the home of the free and the land of AIPAC.
Well, its considred free speech unless your a muslim ( or have muslim friends or have downloaded a copy of the koran at any time) and you write it on face book..and then they'd take you to Gitmo for sure..edit on 23-1-2012 by andy1972 because: (no reason given)
