has produced this short film about Israel's ill-treatment of Palestinian children during their arrest, transfer and detention.
Alone: Palestinian Children in the Israeli Military Detention System contains images of children who found the courage to talk about the appalling treatment.
For example, 14-year-old Ala tells how he was handcuffed and blindfolded during his arrest. "They [Israeli soldiers] put me in the jeep and transferred me to Etzion interrogation center. The interrogator told me to say goodbye to my friend Muhannad, because he was going to throw me from the third floor. No one was there to protect me. No one was with me. I was alone."

Hello I'm sorry that my comment before offended you. What I meant by it that the US for all its self satisfaction is just as bad locking our minorities up at disproportionate rates and invading other countries with our poor in the name of a false mandate and sense of superiority.
(sarcasm)pff 7500? The US could do that in a week, a full 7 million Americans are in our prisons.....oh wait that sounds terrible.... oh well the bright side is if we need cannon fodder in any wars of the near future we know where to look.
I spoke with ~SharksinSpace earlier today and he politely requested that I inform you that he apologizes for offending you, as that was not his intent. He also believes that a misunderstanding has occurred.
