An Israeli human rights organisation has accused the government of torturing Palestinian children after it emerged some were kept in outdoor cages during winter. The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) published a report which claimed children suspected of minor crimes were subjected to “public caging”, threats and acts of sexual violence and military trials without representation.
The country’s Public Defender’s Office (PDO) recently released details of one particularly shocking visit by its lawyers to a detention facility. “During our visit, held during a fierce storm that hit the state, attorneys met detainees who described to them a shocking picture: in the middle of the night dozens of detainees were transferred to the external iron cages built outside the IPS transition facility in Ramla,” the PDO wrote on its website.
The PCATI quoted figures from the campaign group Defence for Children International's Palestine section, saying: “The majority of Palestinian child detainees are charged with throwing stones, and 74 per cent experience physical violence during arrest, transfer or interrogation.” It said Israel was the only country to systematically prosecute children in its military courts, and added that “no Israeli children come into contact with the military court system”.

well, full circle has nearly been reached israel is so very close in many ways to being like the nazi's
Awareness is a way to help. The more people that know about these type of savage acts, the less certain countries will be able to get away with it.

There are two sides to every story.
This story is sick and not acceptable. Same as suicide bombers are sick and not acceptable.
What is the solution? It's easy to find fault or point fingers, try thinking of a way to help.

Of course you're correct.
I'm just saying that savage acts are carried out by both sides. It's not one sided.
Can you provide a single piece of evidence that america keeps kids in cages outdoors during winter while threatening them with sexual violence?

It has nothing to do with "kids in cages".
The "war" always has been a religious thing. (Read a book.)
America puts "kids in cages" we just call them prisons so that makes it okay?
Thats not what I asked, and you know it. You compared the american justice system (in which there are many problems) to this article, which speaks of keeping children, in cages, outside during the winter, while threatening them with sexual abuse and military retribution.

Honestly do a little research. There is more sexual abuse in juvenile correction facilities than in adult prisons.
Don't be so naive.

The Jews learned well from the Nazis...when Israel says "Never Again" I guess they mean not to them...

What would you call a prison cell if not a cage?
