The Foreign Office revealed last night that it would be challenging the Israelis over their treatment of Palestinian children after a report by a delegation of senior British lawyers revealed unconscionable practices, such as hooding and the use of leg irons.
In the first investigation of its kind, a team of nine senior legal figures examined how Palestinians as young as 12 were treated when arrested. Their shocking report Children in Military Custody details claims that youngsters are dragged from their beds in the middle of the night, have their wrists bound behind their backs, and are blindfolded and made to kneel or lie face down in military vehicles.
Children from the West Bank are held in conditions that could amount to torture, such as solitary confinement, with little or no access to their parents. They can be forced to stay awake before being verbally as well as physically abused and coerced into signing confessions they cannot read.

No wonder these kids grow up hating Israel, and when I see things like this happening I start to dislike the regime too.
Will they ever learn? If you mistreat people you are just giving ammo to people who want to mistreat you.

Living beside people who want to blow you and your family up kind of has that effect.

The troubles are over. I am British too and I applaud the government for standing for the rights of children. Perhaps you have no problems with child abuse; I have a big problem with it.

I do see evidence of child abuse.

You have an agenda against the Palestinian people. Say, are you a dual passport holder ;-)
Last night, Israeli Embassy spokesperson Amir Ofek said the country appreciated the efforts of the delegation but blamed Palestinians who "glorify terrorism".
He said: "As a result [children] are frequently involved in lethal acts. With the Palestinian Authority unable or unwilling to meet its obligation to investigate and prosecute these offences, Israel has no choice but to do so itself.

By your own logic, you must have an agenda against the Israeli people.

By the way, Hamas in Palestine are Wahhabi Muslims. The school of Islam from which almost all Muslim terrorists come from.
There is no doubt that Palestinians are teaching their children to be terrorists. Or do you see them as freedom fighters?
I suspect you do have an agenda. They say you can judge people by the quality of their friends.

Maybe if the Palestinians stopped sending their kids off to be suicide bombers then Isreal wouldn't have to arrest them?
They go straight straight to heaven apparently.

How else can you justify bursting into family homes and snatching children?
Palestinian children are taught to hate Jews, to glorify “jihad” (holy war), violence, death and child martyrdom almost from birth, as an essential part of their culture and destiny.

So, the Brits will be investigating the terrorist state of israel?
Ooooh and I like some Brits, shame to know that we in the US will soon get intel that Great Britain harbors terrorists and WMD's.
But really, let's put some un/nato guys on israeli soil poking and prodding everywhere and see how they like it.
Follow that up with sanctions and drones and no fly zones, I'm in!!!

I didn't know that.
I suppose the BBC are liars as well?
Careful. Your agenda is showing

Now tell us about your dual passports.
Another Palestinian child was narrowly prevented from becoming a human bomb. This one, a 16-year-old (although some have reported that he is only 14 years old), was wrapped in explosives vests under his clothing and was stopped by Israeli forces at a West Bank checkpoint. His family is saying he has the intelligence of a 12-year-old and yet still the human rights groups continue to turn a blind eye.
