I share your outrage and although we hold differing views, the principle behind our stance is pretty much the same. There are hundreds of Palestinian children imprisoned falsely in Israeli jails. According to BT’selem, the torture of these children is “widespread, systematic and institutionalised” yet all we hear from the international human rights community is a plea to stop this child abuse, rather than a demand to free the the children, some as young as 7. According to your logic (with which I’m in agreement), these so-called human rights organisations agree that Palestinian children should be tortured in israeli jails.
Btw, is the sentence for throwing stones at the separation barrier still 20 years?
