Watch: Israel border police detain 6-year-old in Hebron

http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=692626

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Video footage has emerged of Israeli border police officers allegedly detaining a 6-year-old child in Hebron after he threw "pebbles" on Wednesday, activists in the southern West Bank city said.

Activists affiliated with the International Solidarity Movement said in a statement that Rami Rajabi was walking to school around 7 a.m. in central Hebron on Wednesday when three Israeli soldiers "burst out of an alleyway, grabbed his arm, and detained him in the street."

The incident reportedly occurred around 20 meters away from checkpoint 29, and the border policemen subsequently brought the boy to the checkpoint.

A 2013 UN Committee on the Rights of the Child report said that around 7,000 children had been detained by Israel since 2002, or around two a day.

Seriously, that video was horrible to watch with that little kid so terrified. All I wanted to do was kick the arses of those jerks and give the kid a cuddle.

Where are all the deniers? Where are the hasbarist trolls falling all over themselves blaming the six year old as they wrap themselves in the Magen David?
