IDF "Child Killing Unit" Speaks Out
Today another former member of the IDF's "Child Killing Unit" speaks out. And again, we see that Israel has a long standing policy of killing children, torturing children, jailing children, and, get this, using "Military Tribunals" to try children aged 16. Witness the sickness of these people:
"You take the kid, you blindfold him, you handcuff him, he's really shaking... Sometimes you cuff his legs too. Sometimes it cuts off the circulation. “
"He doesn't understand a word of what's going on around him. He doesn't know what you're going to do with him. He just knows we are soldiers with guns. That we kill people. Maybe they think we're going to kill him. “
"A lot of the time they're peeing their pants, just sit there peeing their pants, crying. But usually they're very quiet.''
LIKE THIS:
from the BBC: A former Israeli military commander has told the BBC that Palestinian youngsters are routinely ill-treated by Israeli soldiers while in custody, reports the BBC' s Katya Adler from Jerusalem and the West Bank.
Eran Efrati is a former commander in Israel's army. He served in the occupied West Bank. In a discreet park in Jerusalem we meet to discuss allegations that soldiers like him often mistreat Palestinian minors, suspected of throwing stones.
Mr Efrati - who left the army five months ago - says the allegations are true:
''I never arrested anyone younger than nine or 10, but 14, 13, 11 for me, they're still kids. But they're arrested like adults.
"Every soldier who was in the Occupied Territories can tell you the same story. The first months after I left the army I dreamed about kids all the time. Jewish kids. Arab kids. Screaming.
''Maybe [the kid is] blindfolded for him not to see the base and how we're working... But I believe maybe we put the blindfold because we don't want to see his eyes. You don't want him to look at us - you know, beg us to stop, or cry in front of us. It's a lot easier if we don't see his eyes.
''When the kid is sitting there in the base, I didn't do it, but nobody is thinking of him as a kid, you know - if there is someone blindfolded and handcuffed, he's probably done something really bad. It's OK to slap him, it's OK to spit on him, it's OK to kick him sometimes. It doesn't really matter.''
Young Palestinians are mostly arrested for throwing stones at Jewish settlers or Israeli soldiers.
Night-time arrests
At a recent protest, I watched a gang of Palestinian boys darting amongst the olive trees, picking up stones and rocks to throw at the soldiers. Some used sling-shots. Many had a scarf or shawl wrapped round their face to hide their identity. The soldiers responded with tear gas and sound grenades. Sometimes they have used rubber-coated bullets too.
Often after an incident like this, Israeli soldiers raid a West Bank village. Usually in the middle of the night.
LIKE THIS:
The arrests can be brutal. ''Their faces were painted when they came for him. It was frightening. All those soldiers for one boy. They put iron weights on his back in the jeep and beat him all the way to jail. He couldn't get up for a week.''
Mohammad Ballasi's 15-year-old son, also called Mohammad, was arrested by Israeli soldiers for stone-throwing. We met him and his wife just outside an Israeli military base in the West Bank. Palestinian youngsters are tried in military tribunals.
The tribunals regard minors as Palestinians aged 16 or under. In Israel's civil courts minors are young people under the age of 18.
(IMPORTANT NOTE HERE: This is quite stunning, because in actuality, the IDF have a policy of allowing and encouraging, the killing of children aged 12. So what we see, is Israel has a policy of killing 12 year olds, trying children aged 16 and lower in “Military Tribunals” no less!! Yet, for Israeli “children” Israel decides to use the worldwide legal age of 18 for their own. So, in effect Israel has three policies when it comes to Palestinian children. All of them Illegal)
The first time Mohammad's parents saw him since he was arrested two weeks before was at his trial. He pleaded guilty. ''When you're beaten like that, you would confess against your own mother," said Suad Ballasi, choking back tears.
''He's a child. His friends are playing in the street and he is in handcuffs. I couldn't stop crying in court. My heart feels like it's going to explode.'' The human rights organisation Defence for Children International (DCI) has written a report accusing Israel's military of what it describes as the systematic and institutionalised ill-treatment and torture of Palestinian children by the Israeli authorities.
Gerard Horton is an international lawyer for DCI. He said Mohammad's Ballasi's story is a familiar one. ''We see these stories again and again. Israel is a signatory to the UN convention against torture. It's also a signatory to the UN convention on the rights of the child - and under customary international law, it's not permissible to mistreat and torture, particularly children, who are obviously more vulnerable than adults."
He told me that Israel arrested 9,000 Palestinians last year. Seven hundred of those were children. Mr Horton says the military tribunals need to process cases quickly. DCI believes the system is designed so that it is in an adult or a child's interest to plead guilty. Gerard Horton says Palestinians tend to end up in jail longer if they try to fight their case.
Mohammad Khawaja had just turned 13 when he was arrested.
''They dragged me from my home by the scruff of the neck. The more I cried the more they choked me," he said.
"My mum was screaming. They pulled me along on my stomach. My knees were bleeding. They beat me with their guns and kicked me all the way to the jeep.
"They cuffed my hands and legs, blind-folded me and left me there for 24 hours. I thought I was going to die.
"Later interrogators wanted me to tell on other people. I wouldn't. They beat me with plastic chairs. They told me to sign a paper written in Hebrew. I don't read or speak it. Because I signed it they put me in jail.''
Israel's military denies any suggestion that the abuse of young Palestinians is routine, but the army says it has to guard against Palestinian children involved in what it describes as "acts of terror".
(e.g. Throwing stones)
Nightmares
Lieutenant Colonel Avital Leibowitz is a spokeswoman for Israel's military.
''Even though it's just a stone or just a Molotov cocktail, they're deadly weapons. Doesn't matter who did it - they're deadly weapons," she said.
(So the next time your neighbour’s child throws a stone you have the right to kill him. Let’s see how well that defence works in an American court or anywhere else in the sane world)Please take the time to read about Israels policy on killing children HERE and jailing children HERE, and civilians HERE you WILL be Shocked!

They can only make themselves feel like men.... when they are abusing children....
When faced with real armed men ready to fight them back they run crying home
With wet pants..which if the rumor is true apparently when Israeli soldiers go into combat they wear adult diapers.....

The look in his eyes
I’m closing my eyes
I can no longer bear to see
The look in his eyes
Staring at me
My eyes tightly closed
But I still can see
The look in his eyes
Staring at me
Big, dark, brown eyes
Staring at me!!
I aimed so carefully
Pointing at his heart
I trained so perfectly
To tear a head apart
He falls to the ground
A big sigh of relief
He’ll close his eyes
And the dark brown eyes
I no longer have to see
S l o w l y ...opening my eyes
Only just to see
The dark brown eyes
Staring at me
I close my eyes
Hoping not to see
The look in his eyes
Staring at me!
The look in his eyes
I cannot wipe away
My gun is helpless
It cannot defend me
My tank is useless
In protecting me
His dark brown eyes
Are haunting me
The look in his eyes
Defeating me!

Nahida and Al Khansa express the eternal eyes of Palestinian children, there gave fixed on their captors and torturers minds , they plumb the depths of the IDF soul, haunting, challenging and ever vigilant, the penetrate , indight, prosecute and punish with their brown beauty, but also they love.
I have seen these eyes, looking into them for courage, fortitude and love, that ever growing and immense brown eyed gaze is on me always.
The eye is the portal to the Palestinian soul, seeing is believing, look into Palestinian eyes, people of the earth, see the native American there, see the indigenous African, the Indonesian, Asian and Mexican people there, witness this immutable truth of brown eyed wonder, brown eyed sorrow and brown eyes women of purpose, honor and human grace and ask why these eyes cry.
See the eyes of Yashua, Elijah, Mohammed and Elisha, see the sons and daughts of the ancient prophets, see Kahlil Gibran, Mohatma Ghandi, and see the olive farmers of Palestine making oil of their fruits, which is a spirit.
See the eyes that know the difference between truth and lies, the beauty of resistance and the strength of the Islamic soul. These eyes reflect the horrors visited upon Palestine into those who know their guilt, scream it into their restless and dark nights of the soul, unrelenting, ever open and gazing in steady countenance, they war in the innermost depths of the Jewish semitic soul, searching out those who know, those who pray and those who seek solace from their crimes , visited by these eyes, in nightly reveries of introspection, they seek their destinations with unerring accuracy, the brown eyes smart bombs of Palestine fly toward their marks in visitations that will not cease until repentance comes.
How may are there, these beautiful children s eyes? A million? a billion? trillions? how many?
I have seen just such a one, staring at me from the bank of a stream, her age, 12, her people, the Mensi of the Brandywine valley, she runs with me now, everywhere at once and unseen she knows the eyes of children like no other, for her eyes are perpetually that of these little ones of Palestine, her heart intoned to their visions and memories, she looks out from these Palestinian eyes and reports her finding, documenting the histories of every race, color and creed, Noea sees these things centuries in her grave , she is witness to many things.
Who can say why she looks at me as she does, is she real, my imagination, her people, the Mensi, are they real? to me they are, for I touch their tools, their weapons and their villages with my own hands, and it that way I feel them yet alive to me.
These lain in gaves long past, felled by their living, they die not to me, for I cannot look away from them, not fix my gaze elsewhere, I am inhabited, but such eyes as these by choice, for in their gaze they know more than the living, and to me, I am their voice, if not deluded or in such delusions, I fight them not, but honor their looking as if in questioning and seeking from whence they exist, outward to only me, for I accept these little ones as my own heritage, not of blood, but of greater than blood, the eyes of the soul of children die not but aspire to life we know not but ascend to if we look into them with love and do their bidding as they cannot, they do our bidding as we cannot, no magic or cunning have they but their gazes into our souls in asking,probing and constant vigilance they tear my heart asunder, I am broken of hatred in these eyes, I am reborn.
