Before reading this article it would be as well to watch, on-line, two videos: The first is of a 13-year-old boy lying on the ground with a head injury while an ambulance is waved away and no attempt whatsoever made by Israeli officers to assist him. One of the officers repeatedly pushes the boy’s head down with his foot, whenever he tries to sit up. Other Israelis scream abuse at the injured child: “Die you son of a whore” and “Do him a favour and shoot him in the head!” In the next video the same boy is being mercilessly interrogated in order to extract a confession. He tries, quite rationally, to defend himself but in the end is broken, telling the appallingly aggressive interrogator that he will agree to whatever is demanded. On a visit to Gaza, last October, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon remarked, “I met so many of the beautiful children of Gaza…What did they do wrong? Being born in Gaza is not a crime.” Neither, of course, is being born in East Jerusalem or the rest of the West Bank!
A British Parliament Early Day Motion (EDM) tabled on 18 November 2015 reads as follows:
EDM 720 – Military Court Watch submission to the United Nations working group on arbitrary detention
“That this House notes that Military Court Watch has lodged a submission with the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention relating to the detention and transfer of Palestinian minors from the West Bank to prisons located inside Israel in violation of both the Fourth Geneva Convention and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court; further notes that this practice, which is classified under international law as a war crime, affects between 7,000 to 8,000 Palestinians each year, including minors, according to evidence provided by the Israeli Prison Service; and calls on the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention to contest the practice in a manner consistent with its jurisdiction and mandate to ensure that relevant international standards and relevant international legal instruments accepted by both Israel and Palestine as signatories to the Fourth Geneva Convention are fully and timeously addressed.”
From the start, Israel’s military Occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip saw a generation of Palestinian children grow up every day at the point of Israeli Army guns – their offspring suffered similarly. Now, a fresh generation of children is also finding itself enveloped in the deepening, malevolent atmosphere created by fanatical Zionism. The suffering of Palestinian children began nearly 70 years ago with the invasion of Zionist terrorism that eventually led to the largest and longest-lasting refugee crisis in modern history. It would take volumes to record the full history of Zionist crimes against Palestinian children; this article will confine itself to a summary of the cruelty and oppression that took place just this month alone – 22 days during which 35 Palestinian minors aged 11 to 17 were abducted by Israeli soldiers and a two-year-old baby, Adel Khader Shahin, was admitted to hospital after being run over by an Israeli Army Jeep near Surda village. One of the youngsters, Moath Issa Ali Radaydeh, was beaten before being abducted by Israeli soldiers.
What emerges clearly from the following accounts is that the Zionist regime makes a priority of impressing upon each new generation of Palestinians a feeling of the inevitability of Jewish supremacy – and certain knowledge that any act of disobedience will have brutal consequences. This control mentality was demonstrated on 17 November when, at 8am, Israeli soldiers invaded the al-Laban Girls’ School in Nablus and ordered the removal of posters portraying the late Palestinian President, Yasser Arafat. The soldiers raided the school again at noon, to make sure their order was being obeyed. What business is it of Israel to interfere in the daily routine of a Palestinian school? None at all, except that in the paranoid Zionist mind any unauthorised Palestinian thought or action is deemed a threat to Israel’s security. While Jewish settlers may raise the Israeli flag in Palestine and spray-paint racist abuse on Palestinian property with impunity, Palestinians who raise their flag in their own land may be taken prisoner, beaten, tear-gassed or shot.
On the day the Israeli Army raided the girls’ school, the Zionist state’s soldiers also terrorised five Palestinian children: Israeli Occupation forces in north Bethlehem fired live ammunition, rubber-coated steel bullets and stun and tear gas grenades, wounding six residents. There were 26 tear gas casualties and the troops also seized, and held captive for a time, a six-year-old boy, Abdallah Haytham Lutfi; also on that day, in Jerusalem and Hebron, two other children, aged 9 and 11, were similarly abused. Children seized, if not abducted, may be held for hours. The names of almost every child killed, wounded or terrorised by Israeli Occupation troops can be found online in the appropriate In Occupied Palestine newsletters. Below are extracts regarding the first 22 days of this month – just three weeks and a day out of 48 years of remorseless, day and night, persecution.

And so it goes on – and on – night and day
Palestinian children, living under military Occupation, cannot help but form impressions concerning the nature and character of the Israeli Army. They also cannot help but see the Israeli Occupation settlers who stone them, as they make their way to school, for what they are. Inevitably, the children draw conclusions regarding the self-proclaimed ‘Jewish’ state itself, in light of what is being done to them and their families, in its name. The heavily armed and protected Israeli Army complains about Palestinian stone-throwing but appears not to have the wit to get out of range. These few examples of Israel’s violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention cannot begin to provide a true sense of the overwhelmingly oppressive atmosphere that is life under Zionist military Occupation. What dismays those opposed to Zionism most, however, is the hypocrisy of Western political leaders who, while claiming that the West has ‘values’, do nothing to protect the Palestinian people from the consequences of decisions and policies made chiefly by Western governments.
With the world in turmoil and fear over the recent ISIS atrocities it is time for a reality check. The ‘two-state solution’ and the insistence upon direct talks between a defenceless, militarily-Occupied people and the ideologically-driven, all-powerful Occupier is simply a shameless cover for Israeli war crimes. The 22 years of so-called peace process have enabled Israel to almost triple the Zionist state’s settler presence from 191,000 to almost 670,000 – and growing! This subterfuge has enabled the Western powers to avoid standing up for international law in any meaningful way. With the 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement, Britain and France conspired to carve up the Middle East, from Northern Iraq to Palestine with contrived borders that ignored local history, culture and economics. This paved the way for the Balfour Declaration and the eventual unleashing of Zionist terrorism in Palestine that set in train what has proved to be a never-ending, growing refugee crisis. Pandering to Israel has facilitated the introduction of nuclear weapons to the Middle East, a devaluing of the provisions of international humanitarian law and the inevitable rise of ever-more fanatical ideologies. The West’s destabilising interference in Middle East affairs has much to account for.
New Zealand’s duty at the Security Council
The Westminster Early Day Motion referred to above demonstrates democracy in action and the compassion that ordinary people feel for the suffering of the Palestinian people and all refugees. It is an example that should serve to remind New Zealand Members of Parliament of their duty to pressure our leaders into putting the needs of humanity before the geo-political interests of ‘The Club’. While Britain, the source of the Balfour Declaration, bears chief responsibility for the plight of the Palestinian people, every state that voted for the partition of Palestine also shares culpability. New Zealand has ratified the Fourth Geneva Convention; the moral contradiction is irrational and unjustifiable. Imagine the legitimate outrage that would be expressed by our leaders and the mainstream news media if it were Jewish families being forced out of their homes and their children treated with such brutality.
UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People – 29 November
With escalating global insanity and instability gripping the Middle East and beyond, we are allowing New Zealand’s voice at the Security Council to remain silent. Ministers, who should be facing searching questions and constant pressure over our response to Israel’s cruel violations of international humanitarian law, are being relieved of responsibility through an almost total, deeply shameful silence.
Where did you get this information?
The news I read tells me of daily attempts to kill Israelies. And the incitement of children as young as two years old to kill Jews. Maybe you should go and live in Israel and experience for yourself what really goes on. From what I can see is that Israel is a much better place to live then the countries around it.
And they are willing to share but too often are met with hate and resentment. So carry on your “unbiased” news and spread hate.
A far cry from the Biblical commandment to love your neighbours as you would love yourself.
Maybe the Israeli government and war-machine should practice the same commandment, Ido.
Also, tell your mates to remove the illegal Israeli settlements from the West Bank and lift the blockade on Gaza.
Once Israel ceases it’s aggression, it can negotiate a lasting, just peace with it’s neighbours.
Maybe you need to update the source of your information and read all the United nations resolutions regarding Israeli criminal behaviour in illegally occupied Palestine.
The Incredibly brave Palestinians have every right, and a moral duty as human beings to fight for freedom in their own country against the relentless Israeli attempts to dispossess and ethnically cleanse them from their own land.

So, Mr Ido, what’s your connection to Israel then?
I get your an apologist for the Zionist regime in Tel Aviv, but what else are you?
If you think your comments will elicit any sympathy for the murderous rampage that Israel has done in Gaza, and the illegal settlements in the West Bank, you are so, so, so mistaken.
Israeli soldiers are ISIL,see wake up New Zealand today.
This is the NZ government Idea of justice for Palestine.

Very useful Mike thanks for your contribution – we’ll have more to say on this.
Israel can do no wrong.
They have a free pass to commit these murderous activities through their permanently established Supreme Privileged Global Status as VICTIMS.
Then they have also have their powerful Magic Weapon – their special word “antisemitic” which instantly makes people recoil in fear, because it’s worse than being labeled a rapist or murderer.
(Of course, the fact that Palestinians are Semites doesn’t count)
