You don't even need the Goldstone Report to know if it's true (or not). Just look at the reaction by the pro-Israeli crowd when you bring up one of these instances. If you say a Palestiinian kid was blown to bits by an Israeli landmine, the pro-Israel response would go something like this...Intimidation and torture
Palestinian children living in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip under the illegal Israeli occupation are subjected to brutal treatment and illegal imprisonment, torture and intimidation by the Israeli security forces. According to a report by Defence for Children International (DCI), “a pattern of systematic ill-treatment emerges, much of which amounts to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, as defined in the UN Convention against Torture, and in some cases, torture – both of which are absolutely prohibited.”
Since 1967 Palestinian children and adults have been subjected to Israeli military law, a legal system based on prejudice and short on justice. During this period 726,000 Palestinians have been arrested and detained. The numbers of children arrested and taken from their homes is shocking. According to DCI, in the past 11 years alone “around 7,500 children, some as young as 12 years, are estimated to have been detained, interrogated and imprisoned within this system. This averages out at between 500-700 children per year, or nearly two children each and every day.”
Almost a quarter of all children arrested are held in solitary confinement. Children, mainly boys, aged from 12 to 17 years are forcefully taken from their families, often at night, imprisoned, beaten and tortured, intimidated and on occasion subjected to electric shocks. Most children are detained for the terrible crime of throwing stones at soldiers armed with M16 rifles and tear gas.

Hey chimp, when are you going to ask about the anti-tank rockets in gaza again?
As soon as you grow a pair and stop acting like a irresponsible little bitch!
Why don't you post some recent reports?
Why don't you post some recent reports?
Deflection from the chimp, who claimed that hamas does not possess anti-tank rockets, never fired them, and never fired them at a tank.
You keep making idiotic lies, and we'll make sure we keep humiliating you.
How does that shoe leather taste when you've swallowed it so far it is sticking out of your ass, moron?
When are you, Sissie.When is goldstone and falk going to syria?
Where are the freedom flotillas heading to syria?
I proved they weren't. I posted the evidence that corroborated my claim, one of which, was a former Israeli Prime Minister saying the agreement was dead. And I got you to go fromFrom the arrogant, angry, clueless, witless and brainless internet teen still claiming that the Oslo accords are officially not in existence anymore, amongst other nonsense.
"In the past 10 years Israeli forces have killed at least 255 Palestinian minors by fire to the head, and the number may actually be greater, since in many instances the specific bodily location of the lethal trauma is unlisted.There are two ways to tell if criticism leveled at Israel, is valid and true:
The Goldstone Report, judging from the amount of responses in this thread, happens to be the latter. In contrast, there are many posts in several other threads about how Hamas uses children as human shields, although the Goldstone Report found no evidence of this. Even if it was true, why does that take the lions share of the disussion, when the Israeli's have killed Palestinian children 100 times that amount.
- By the volume of condemnation and level of vitriol towards the authors and anyone in agreement with them.
- a topic no one will even discuss.
And those were the ones who got off lucky...

..."Well, what makes you think Hamas didn't have the kid deliberately walk into the landmine?"
The pro-Israeli crowd, has lost all sense of humanity and reason.

"In addition, this statistic does not include the many more Palestinian youngsters shot in the head by Israeli soldiers who survived, in one form or another..."
"A 2009 article in the UK Telegraph entitled 'Bullets in the brain, shrapnel in the spine: the terrible injuries suffered by children of Gaza,' investigated a situation in which doctors at a hospital near Gaza were 'almost overwhelmed by the number of Palestinian children needing treatment for bullet wounds to their heads.'/2/
"The article began: 'On just one day last week staff at the El-Arish hospital in Sinai were called to perform sophisticated CAT brain scans on a nine-year-old, two 10-year-olds and a 14-year-old ? each of whom had a bullet still lodged in their brain, after coming under fire during the Israeli ground assault on Gaza.'
"Asked about the nature of these shootings, a physician replied:
'I cant precisely decide whether these children are being shot at as a target, but in some cases the bullet comes from the front of the head and goes towards the back, so I think the gun has been directly pointed at the child.'"
