Stone Cold Justice: Israel’s torture of Palestinian children | ABC Australia - 2014

A film which was produced by a group of Australian journalists that sparked an international outcry against Israel after it explicitly detailed Tel Aviv's use of torture against Palestinian children.

The film, titled ‘Stone Cold Justice’ documents how Palestinian children, who have been arrested and detained by Israeli forces, are subjected to physical abuse, torture and forced into false confessions and pushed into gathering intelligence on Palestinian activists.

The 45-minute investigative film concerns the Israeli army’s mistreatment of Palestinian children. It provides absolutely devastating evidence that the children’s abuse is not some unfortunate byproduct of the occupation but the cornerstone of Israel’s system of control and its related need to destroy the fabric of Palestinian society.

A new #CDC report claims that the overall number of childhood vaccine exemptions for #children entering school has reached record highs.

As people are waking up to the dangers of the COVID injections, many are taking the next logical step and are now questioning the safety of, and need for, all childhood vaccines.

🇵🇸 1/2 - Some context and background on Palestinians detained & imprisoned by Israel :

1) A Palestinian "prisoner" does not refer to someone tried & convicted in a normal court of law that follows due process. Palestinians are detained by Israeli soldiers, https://www.addameer.org/israeli_military_judicial_system/military_courts

No arrest warrant, no right to a phone call, no lawyers present. 2) Palestinians are interrogated without lawyers present & widespread abuses amounting to torture, are documented by human rights orgs. This links to some #testimonies. https://addameer.org/publications/systematic-use-torture-and-ill-treatment-israeli-interrogation-centers-cases-torture

3) Palestinian children are also tried in specially designed "juvenile military courts". Between 500 & 700 🇵🇸 kids are tried in these courts each year. Sworn affidavits of nearly 800 child detainees show 86% were not informed of the reason for their arrest https://www.dci-palestine.org/military_detention

80% were strip-searched, 42% were denied adequate food & water, 31% were denied access to a toilet, 97% were interrogated without a family member present, 55% were shown or made to sign a paper in Hebrew, not Arabic. https://www.savethechildren.net/news/%E2%80%9Ctreated-animals%E2%80%9D-palestinian-children-face-inhumane-treatment-israeli-run-prisons

4) Israel widely uses "administrative detention" against hundreds of Palestinians. This allows for the indefinite detention of a Palestinian without charge - renewable every 6 months. Since '67, around 60,000 Palestinians were administrative detainees. https://www.btselem.org/administrative_detention

🇵🇸 2/2 - Some context and background on Palestinians detained & imprisoned by Israel

5) At least 800,000 🇵🇸shave been imprisoned at one point in their lives since 1967 by Israel, making the issue of prisoners a topic that touches all families. In July @FranceskAlbs said this mass incarceration policy was another expression of apartheid. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/07/dismantle-israels-carceral-regime-and-open-air-imprisonment-palestinians-un

6) Israel detains Palestinians from Gaza under an obscure law that strips away meaningful judicial review and due process rights. That says a lot given that Palestinian detainees from the West Bank barely have any rights. https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/03/01/gaza-unlawful-combatants-law-violates-rights

7) More than 10,000 Palestinian women have been imprisoned since 1967. Currently around 80 are imprisoned & detained by Israel.

8) Palestinians can be detained for raising a 🇵🇸, throwing stones, "incitement", or affiliation with any political faction. https://www.addameer.org/israeli_military_judicial_system/military_orders

9) Since 10/7, Israeli forces have detained around 3,000 Palestinians, including 30 journalists, community leaders, and non-violent resistance leaders & has denied lawyers & ICRC access. HR orgs have documented horrific tales of torture of detainees https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/11/israel-opt-horrifying-cases-of-torture-and-degrading-treatment-of-palestinian-detainees-amid-spike-in-arbitrary-arrests/#:~:text=Israeli%20authorities%20have%20dramatically%20increased,of%20torture%20and%20death%20in"

10) Released prisoners say in addition to cutting off water & electricity, detainees report that many have had their limbs, legs, and hands broken, and many others from unrecognizable from the beating. Soldiers are filming the abuse : https://invidious.fdn.fr/watch?v=ltu-F_2ai1M

🇵🇸 Freed Palestinian prisoner: 'I was explicitly threatened with rape'

Lama Khater, a #writer released in the sixth batch of Palestinian prisoners as part of the truce agreement, revealed that Israeli forces threatened to rape her and burn her #children. Describing the harrowing conditions, she stated: "Today, male and female prisoners are enduring what can be considered forced #starvation, in complete #isolation."

Khater describes how an Israeli solider told her that his rage would only be satisfied if he killed 50,000 children in Gaza.

Khater confirmed that at least 10 Palestinian females from the Gaza Strip were transferred to jail two days before the truce. She added that these women were arrested by Israeli forces while fleeing from northern to southern #Gaza. According to Khater, Israel seems to target mothers, forcing them to separate from their children.

🇵🇸 Gaza war: traumatising a whole new generation | Middle East Monitor

Before 7 October, a 17-year-old Palestinian in Gaza had endured five wars and never experienced freedom due to Israel's strict siege since 2007. The recent bombing, the deadliest global attack in years, disproportionately affected children. Of the 15,000 Palestinians killed, almost 6,000 were children. Those who survived face dire conditions, including hunger, homelessness, and becoming orphans.

🇵🇸 Footage shows bodies piled up after Israeli attack on Gaza school

Exclusive video and images obtained by Al Jazeera this morning show bodies piled up inside the Shadia Abu Ghazala School in the al-Faluja area, west of the Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

Witnesses said a number of people including women, #children and babies were killed execution-style by Israeli forces while sheltering inside the #school.

“The Israeli soldiers came in and opened fire on them,” a woman at the scene said.  “They took all men, then entered classrooms and opened fire on a woman and all the children with her.”

The woman said there were newborn children among them. “The Israeli soldiers executed those innocent families at point blank,” she added.

Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud is in southern Gaza in Rafah for the latest developments.
