re: #21 reine.de.tout

Israeli law only allows children 12 and over to be detained and incarcerated for throwing stones (how merciful!). Children who are younger, like this 7 year old, are detained, beaten and then freed. As for stone-throwing being an offence, why are settler children exempt from this rule when attacking palestinians? Come on now, that’s just a little bit racist, no? I mean, even firing a gun at a Palestinian isn’t guaranteed to land you in hot water.
