A new report by UK lawyers, including Sir Stephen Sedley and Baroness Scotland (a former Attorney General), was published in London last night. The UK Foreign Office funded report: Children in military custody – considers the situation facing Palestinian children prosecuted in Israeli military courts.
The report found that Israel is in breach of a series of articles under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Fourth Geneva Convention. The report concludes by making 40 recommendations including:
· An end to night time arrests except in extreme circumstances;
· An end to hooding and blindfolding children;
· An end to painfully tying children;
· An end to transferring children on the floor of military vehicles;
· The presence of a family member during interrogation;
· Access to a lawyer prior to interrogation;
· An end to forcing children to sign confessions in Hebrew; and
· An end to transferring children to prisons inside Israel in violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. (See: DCI Urgent Appeal)
The report has been extensively covered in the UK media:
· The Independent – Nothing resonates like the mistreatment of minors
· The Independent – UK ready to take on Israel over fate of children clapped in irons
· The Guardian – Israel subjecting Palestinian children to ‘spiral of injustice’
· Channel 4 News – Israel ‘breaches rights of Palestinian children’

Hey, come on now! Do you realize what that could mean to their organ salesmen’s commission status here in New York? Well, you could ask the FBI, they knew about it for 12 years and did nothing until the alternate media blew their cover.

Can tell plenty about a society/culture by the way they treat the young and defenseless.

…..and the silence is deafening. NOTHING will be done.
Um, in case you weren’t aware, Israel is the BIGGEST violator of UN resolutions ON THE PLANET. International Law only applies to others. UN resolutions only apply to others. Israel is a TERRORIST CELL and being given free reign. The question remains, WHY? I think we all know why. It’s because Israel is the seat of the Rothschild criminal banking industry – the banking industry that’s bringing down national currencies worldwide. No one dares step on Israel’s toes for fear of financial retribution.
Nothing will be done to stop them – absolutely NOTHING.

Being in my mid 60’s I’ve seen a mess of evil things done to my country and by my country. I could never again put on a uniform to “defend” it. If, however, I had to die and was given the opportunity to choose how I was to be brought down, It would be fighting alongside like souls in bringing the murdering swine in Israel and all (in D.C.) who have sold out this country to them to justice. The stench of their treason fills my nostrils and makes me ill. Time we all woke up and watered the tree of liberty if we must.

You see these comments made by the UK media – they are very hard to find – here in the UK! They are buried by several layers and not accessed by the average reader. people all over the World may thing that this what the newspapers are printing – but it is limited.
The same applies to all controversial subject covered by the BBC – they are usually screened past midnight – usually 2am – just so that the BBC can say that they ‘covered’ the story.
