A bill that could make a significant change for Palestinian children

[abi]

I find it more than amazing that in this day and age we need a law to protect children from torture or cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment, physical violence, including restraint in stress positions, hooding, sensory deprivation, death threats, or other forms of psychological abuse, incommunicado detention and solitary confinement, but we apparently do.

I see this as another huge step towards a solution and I want to encourage all Americans that read this thread to contact their representatives and get them to pass this thing. Not another cent for this pathetic treatment of children!

Is it a bill that sends them to Syria or Saudi Arabia?

In ISIS-controlled Syria, children have been beheaded for missing a Friday prayer service. I'd be more concerned about those children.

Let's start with the Palestinian children...

Is deflection all you have?

“I find it more than amazing that in this day and age we need a law....”


Why do you find that amazing? Given the status of children unlucky enough to be born in Islamist majority nations and those Islamic paradises of North Africa, especially female children, what do you find amazing?

Isn’t it the dream of every young girl to be born in a Pakistani tribal region for example? To be a 12 year old female child, married off to a cousin who is decades older, to be pregnant at 13 via marital rape, and suffer routine beatings, I mean, what else could a female child ask for?

No, it is a bill to stop funding the insane treatment of children at the hands of the nazis the zionists.

In ISIS-controlled Syria, children have been beheaded for missing a Friday prayer service. I'd be more concerned about those children.

Sounds like propaganda, but are you claiming we are sending ISIS money to finance their horrible treatment of children?

Let's start with the Palestinian children...

You people post these obvious propaganda videos on multiple threads. They don't help your cause and make you come off as one who can be easily misled.

I find it interesting that you IJH’ers (Irrational Jooooo Haters), take no responsibility for the retrograde Islamist societal structure that promotes, furthers and instills a Death Cult mentality in those little darlings who are encouraged by people just like you to put themselves in the position of juvenile delinquency and budding little Islamic terrorists in training.

I’m sure abi will be demanding a law, that Israel be held responsible.

Why are you getting so mean on all the Arab nations and Africa?

 

[Shusha]

Perhaps we could get another bill which states that all Arab Palestinian parents who knowingly and willfully permit their children to perform criminal acts which endanger the safety of others shall be imprisoned on behalf of their children.

But how are you going to take all the Muslim children away from their parents?

 

[MJB12741]

It's about time there is a law to protect Palestinian children.

 

[Shusha]

Also we need a bill demanding that no American money funds the PA detention of minor children.

Ramallah, June 10, 2014—Ahmad was 15 when he was arrested during a 3 am raid by Palestinian security forces at El Far’a refugee camp in September 2013. He was accused of throwing stones, burning tires and insulting members of the Palestinian security service, and was dragged from his house blindfolded and with his hands bound by a plastic cord.

As he was placed into a waiting jeep, one of the men arresting him lit a lighter under his wrists to remove the cord. “I was screaming in pain. But he just kept doing it,” said Ahmad, recounting his ordeal to Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCI-Palestine), a children's rights organization based in the West Bank.

Ahmad was taken to the Palestinian Authority (PA) military intelligence headquarters in Tubas in the northeast of the West Bank, a place described by one resident of El Far’a camp as “a nightmare for the civilians who go there.”

After being detained overnight he was transferred to a police station where he was interrogated by three police officers - a policewoman asking questions while two other officers sat next to him, kicking and hitting him repeatedly.

“Whenever I said I didn't do the things they were accusing me of, one of them would hit me,” Ahmad said. “I didn't know which one it would it be, and sometimes they asked questions one after the other.”

The interrogator repeatedly threatened him with further beatings if he did not confess to the charges.

The system is archaic:

“It is from the 1950s, before the international system safeguarding children’s rights was really in place,” he says. “The current system deals with a child as the perpetrator, not as a victim. It also focuses on punishment and not on rehabilitation. There is a philosophy behind this that doesn't respect the human rights of the child.”

The way that you phrased this question ("in this day and age") makes it seem that you are unaware of all the ill-treatment that children receive in many parts of the globe (African child soldiers, girl children in the Muslim world, child labor in Asian and Latin-American countries, etc.) Very naive on your part.

Case studies: Children in the Palestinian Justice System

Name: Mustafa M, 12
Detained: December 1, 2013
Location: Balata refugee camp, Nablus

Mustafa M, 12, was injured in an explosion and detained for one week.

At 6:30 pm Mustafa was with his friend Mahmoud near the entrance of Balata refugee camp. He was caught in clashes with Palestinian security forces and injured by a grenade that landed near him. Mustafa’s right leg was bleeding profusely and he was taken to a health center.

Mahmoud was also injured, and both boys were taken to the emergency department at Rafidia Hospital, Nablus.

As they were being treatment, Palestinian police arrived and took Mahmoud away. Mustafa received five stitches and was guarded by two policemen in a hospital room overnight.

The next day Mustafa was taken to a court and detained in a cell for an hour. He was then asked to give a statement in the presence of a lawyer and his father, before being detained first with adults overnight in a prison.

Mustafa appeared in court on December 3, when his detention was extended. He was released on bail on December 8.

India finally made it illegal to have sex with a female child, even if she is your wife.

And that is the real problem. Abi and others would like us to believe like these children are being grabbed while playing soccer or some innocent games; I.e. for no reason.
