Israeli Court Convicts Palestinian Child Who Was Nearly Beaten To Death By Mob

[fanger]

A Palestinian child, Ahmad Manasra, 14, was convicted Tuesday of two counts of attempted murder, despite a lack of evidence, a video showing him being severely beaten and insulted by a crowd shouting racial slurs, and video showing Israeli interrogators brutalizing and intimidating the crying child with no family member or lawyer present.

Manasra was 13 at the time of his arrest, and the Israeli court decided to allow the prosecution’s request to delay his court hearing until January, when he turned 14 and was allowed, under Israeli law, to be tried as an adult. The Israeli Knesset used Manasra’s case as an example when they voted several months ago to change the age at which a Palestinian child can be tried as an adult from 14 to 12.

Israeli children, in contrast, are considered ‘minors’ until the age of 18.

Listening to you and Abbas this guy raised twice from the dead

Once a young male decides to take a knife and go for a stabbing spree he's no longer a child.
In his case he'll get a free education, free food and the status of hero with all the financial benefits...however we know it's not free at all.

How would he be judged in any arab country, if he murdered non-Jews??

 

[Lipush]

Ahmed Menasara stabbed a 13 year old Israeli child, almost to death, while said child was riding his bike.

For some reason, the victim turned out to be the little shithead Manasra, instead of young Shalev, who still has not fully recovered from his injuries.

So Ahmed got a good beatup for trying to murder a kid, boo hoo.

"For the lack of evidence", it's good thing we have a free press that is also especialist on evidence finding. If there is evidence or not, the court will decide it.

Hopefully for his murderous nature, this little punk will stay a long time behind bars.

wonder what makes young kids do this sort of thing, oh wait they just might be mad that Israel bulldozed their homes , your IDF are so lazy ass if they can't subdue a 13 year old teenager.

The child in this case, Ahmad Manasra, was severely beaten, hit by a car, and repeatedly kicked and punched in the head by an angry Israeli mob who believed that he had participated in a stabbing in which a 13-year old Israeli boy was wounded.

However, Manasra and his lawyers contend that he had nothing to do with the stabbing, which was carried out by Manasra’s 15-year old cousin, who was killed at the scene of the attack.

All down to the law as applied by the P.A. and Jordan that have the age of majority as 14. But if he was guilty of murder why complain about it later when he has been sentenced. What evidence was brought by his lawyers to show he was not involved.

What punishment was given to the Palestinian that beat two Jewish boys to death and then started to eat the tenderised meat ?

he was subdued and arrested, tried and found guilty. So what is your beef, justice was seen to be done and a murdering scumbag will now be kept in luxury at taxpayers expense.

You want to know what makes them do it, simples it is how they were brought up over the last 1500 years. And they cry foul when the victims become the victors and beat then at their own game. Your whinging and whining like a whingy whiney thing does not get you any followers, it just shows how stupid you are

[RoccoR]

et al, and Kondor,

Throughout history, there have been a multitude of examples where aggression, overzealousness and religious based politics have combined to induce support for rival power bases. In the case of Robbie Kandola, a member of Vancouver's Indo-Canadian Street Gang Scene (The Oasis) and a big part of the inspiration behind the title, was anything BUT a Warrior (a person engaged in,experienced in, or devoted to war).

Not so dissimilar from today's radicalized Islamic movements and terrorist organizations, street gangs like The Oasis have some age old, yet very powerful motivators: drugs, money and women. Although in more contemporary times, we tend to see movement centered on religious beliefs and social change; leading us back around to "power and influence."

MacLean’s Magazine --- A Warrior's Religion --- Published: December 23, 2002 by Renu Bakshi]
Five centuries ago, Guru Nanak founded Sikhism, a religion designed to promote equality among people. Although it evolved into a warrior religion, it was intended to uphold bravery in the face of evil. But the very essence of Sikhism, its spiritual struggle for human rights, has been perverted by misguided men bent on gaining power and exacting revenge. The Sikh teaching, “When all else fails, only then raise your sword,” no longer applies to defending the defenceless. It is an excuse to use violence to settle the score.[/I]

(COMMENT)

The various factions, on the Arab side of the conflict with Israel, exhibit pathologies characterised as anti-social and criminal causing a divorce from any sense of responsibility or conscience. An overwhelming majority of Hostile Arab Palestinian (HoAP) Groups operate in this range and need to reach-out and adopt a reorientation and distribution of wealth (Robinhood), religious objectives (Zealots), and political alignments (Glasnost), that lead to an understandable set of objectives to justify their actions --- what would otherwise be considered --- unjustifiable. The Palestinian movement using terrorism intended to intimidate and coerce targeted populations --- this done in order to influence the policy of their government (by any means necessary) is an example of why the various Jihadist, Terrorists, Insurgent, and Religious Radicals need to glamorize and glorify their actions in the face of the people that support the conduct of these despicable actions.

While the "Warrior's Religion" is a catchy title, the actual religion of warriors is something altogether worth challenging.

Most Respectfully,
R

And yet Jews think Yahweh gave them the land. What right do secular jews think they have to Palestine?

Your right a good parent would not live there with kids. Zionist only reap what they sow.

It is wrong to stab kids too.

If he can be old enough to take a kitchen knife and tear out someone's guts, he's old enough to face the consequence.

All those sympathising with him instead of the child he stabbed can go to hell.

Saying there is something wrong with the justice system here is not saying it isn't wrong to stab kids.

Holding him without charge until he turns 14 sounds pretty wrong imo.
Trying a 12 year old as an adult is way wrong - they aren't adults, not in brain development, not in maturity- does that mean 12 year olds are then put in prisons with adults?
Applying it only to Palestinian kids but not Jewish kids? Nothing wrong with that? No wonder the Israeli justice system has had a lot criticism levied at it over it's treatment of Palestinian minors.

Surprisingly, the linked al-Jazeera story (below) says absolutely nothing about Manasra being "Nearly Beaten to Death by Mob."

Could it be that Mintpress - a site whose contributors are not journalists but rather activists/bloggers - has, like you, an agenda that willfully - even eagerly - plays fast and loose with the facts?

Perhaps you believe al-Jazeera is a Zionist media outlet?

The kid was complicit in an unprovoked knife attack on others. Like the Israeli who was recently convicted and sentenced for his part in such an attack, Manasra should and will face Israeli court justice.

Get over it.

Palestinian teen could face 'maximum sentence'

Although it is relatively rare, American kids as young as 8 have been charged as adults and many are imprisoned. It is a decision not taken lightly but the punishment for committing serious crimes should fit the crime.

This thread is just another example of the "special" treatment for which Israel is so often singled out here at USMB ... even by those who think themselves thoughtful and rational.

I agree. Add to this the reversal of victim and perpetrator where the perpetrator of a horrific crime (attempted murder) is portrayed as the victim.

Oh taken from the terrorist Shamir (yous hate everyone, take a look in the mirror)

Shamir publicly declared his animus for Poles by stating that "every Pole sucked anti-Semitism with his mother's milk." Shamir contradicted his spokesman, who attempted to keep the comment off the record, and insisted that he wanted his comment publicized.[35

EXCEEDINGLY rare and very controversial. As I recall - we have no law making 8 (or 12) the age at which a certain group can be charged with adult crimes.

Why are Palestinians charged as adults at the age of 12 and Jews not until 18? Or, was this an untrue claim in the OP?

This post is an example of why it's so hard to discuss injustices in Israel's legal system - you get accused of "singling out Israel".

First, as you've already pointed out the accuracy of the reporting of the OP and its link, is clearly lacking, so right away we know we should make investigation to discover what is fact.

Also, we can check with RoccoR , but if you are going to argue that Palestine is "occupied" then Israeli law CAN NOT be applied to Palestinian citizens -- Israel is compelled to follow the existing law which is Jordanian.
