Palestinian Children Do Not Have the Right to a Fair Trial Under the Israeli Military Court System
DCI Poster
In the 40th year of Israel's military occupation of the Palestinian territories, Tuesday 17 April 2007 marked Palestinian Prisoner's Day.
Currently there are approximately 380 Palestinian children in Israeli custody, many of whom are awaiting trial or sentence, and others who are serving lengthy periods of imprisonment for such minor offences as stone throwing.
Article 40 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, to which the State of Israel is a signatory and State Party, gives children the right to a fair trial, the right to liberty while awaiting trial, the right to be heard, the right to privacy, the right to be informed, to have access to a lawyer and support from family and to be treated with dignity during the trial process.
Israel arrests, detains, interrogates, prosecutes and sentences Palestinian children pursuant to a set of Military Orders issued by commanding officers of the Israeli occupying forces, a system which has existed since Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories in 1967. Palestinian children who are arrested by Israeli military personnel are deemed by Israel to be offenders against the security of the Israeli State and are subsequently prosecuted under the Israeli military system in Military Courts; a system which also prosecutes Palestinian adults.
American citizen critically injured after being shot in the head by Israeli forces in Nilin
March 13, 2009
"The Israeli army began to use the Rutger rifle and a high velocity tear gas canister in December 2008. The black canister, labeled in Hebrew as 40mm bullet special/long range, can shoot over 400 meters and weighs 130 grams without the propeller. The gas canister does not make a noise when fired or emit a smoke tail and has a propeller to accelerate the weapon mid-air. A combination of the canisters high velocity and silence is extremely dangerous and has caused numerous injuries, including a Palestinian male whose leg was broken in January 2009.
Tristan Anderson was shot as Israeli forces attacked unarmed demonstrators, gathered against construction of the annexation wall through the village of Nilins land. Another resident from Nilin was shot in the leg with live ammunition.
Four Nilin residents have been killed during demonstrations against the confiscation of their land."
"If Americans only knew"
Israeli settlers sure helped out this 19 year old relief worker from Sweden with a facial rearrangement. Pictures along with the stories pretty well says it all.

Get out of our land. You people have no business trying to fight for the "poor" Arabs. Poor Arabs. They have millions of square miles to ourselves.
"We are asking- no,telling- the Israelis that they must dance with Palestinians and the Arab world. Let's be more succint. We are telling these Jews, that have contributed so much to society and have elevated our culture to heights unknown with their contributions to art, philosophy, medicine, all the sciences and virtually every endeavor known to man, that they must sit down with the very barbarians that threaten to annihilate them in the name of God."
Please keep fighting for them - keep fighting for the very same barbarians who danced in the streets out of joy for thousands of Americans dying on 9/11.
If you can't take a bloody nose, then get the FUCK off of our property. She's lucky she can walk away.
