Palestinian children

Palestinian children

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. I saw a picture in the “World in Pictures” column of Arab News showing Israeli soldiers “arresting” a Palestinian boy. Israel and its allies have completely ruined the childhood of many generations of Palestinians.
The arrest of the boy shows that paranoia of Israelis. They are so afraid of Palestinians that they don’t wish to leave an underage boy on the streets. Where are the so-called campaigners of human rights and child rights? A minor cannot be arrested or tried the usual way. The boy must have been hurling stones at some Israeli armored vehicle. We are living in a world full of lies, deception and hypocrisy. The world is talking about Israeli teens allegedly kidnapped by some “Palestinian” group. I, as a Muslim, condemn this action but on the other hand would like the world to also consider the plight of Palestinian children and their rights, which are continuously being violated by Israel. They are psychologically shattered.
