Israel's civilian courts forbid jailing any child under 14. But Palestinian children arrested in the West Bank are usually tried in military courts.
The group, Btselem, says the children are often given jail terms of up to two months. Most are arrested for throwing stones at Israeli soldiers.
The Israeli military says the children are being exploited by "terror groups". Source: BBC

@Assassin
So what are they going to do, stand there and get shot?
I would certainly do something in a form of self-defense if my country was being invaded by some fascist country. |

Yeah, and under what circumstances are they jailed? Stoning Israeli soldiers. Assault at best. Attempted murder at worst. I say give them jail time.
@twopostsabove Stupidest thing I have heard in a long time. Thanks for the laugh. The West Bank is autonomous. Israel isn't invading.

"Hey guys, let's throw rocks at the commando over there! It's not like he might mistake us for a threat, because it's not like rocks can be deadly or anything!"
How big were the rocks, and how hard were they thrown? |

| seriosly both the palestinians and the isrealies need to compromise and at the very least make Jerusalem its own independent state which no religion has complete rule over that way theres less zeal for targeting isreal and no more military attacks in order to obtain the "holy" city. also just give the damn gaza strip back! you dont need it! come on the palestinians need somewhere were they can live in peace. |

@Tac Didn't you ever consider that these are kids, who are just trying to prevent their homes from being demolished by a bunch of settlers? -------------------------------------- Attacking will not help.
Isreal allready hates them enough but attacking sure helps I suppose. |

Funny how when Israelis attack someone, they call it self defense, but when someone attacks them its because they are being terrorists. ----------- Hamas anyone?
They dont even recognize Isreal as a state.
Now its ok for An idiot with a stick to poke a hornets nest but not ok for the hornets to sting him? |

So when Israel kills a Palestinian civilian, they are actually trying to attack Hamas? -------- What an idiotic remark.
No its because Palastine provoked them by killing an Isreali Citizen.
As I said Isreal is a hornets nest. |

Correction Hamas provoked thejm This is how it works: Hamas kills 1 or 2 guys Israel, looking for an idiotic excuse to kill palestinians drops bombs and white phospohorus on populated places in Palestine killing thousands of INNOCENT civilians. Not Hamas. INNOCENT. Then Israel goes around saying its for self defence and says Hamas provokes them. ------------------------------ How does that correct me?
I said Isreal is a hornets nest hornets do not care what they do to you in retaliation. |
