Default Re: The generic "Look at what Israel's doing now" thread

Have we had this? (It's over a year old so I may have missed it) It is the webpage for an award winning Australian documentary of Israeli mistreatment of Palestinian children:

Stone Cold Justice - Four Corners

From the blurbThe United Nations children's agency (UNICEF) has been investigating these claims and last year released a scathing report finding that "children have been threatened with death, physical violence, solitary confinement and sexual assault."

As Four Corners discovered, though, Palestinian children have more to fear than the Israeli army. Reporter John Lyons shows clear evidence that Israeli settlers in the West Bank regularly attack Palestinian school children, knowing the authorities will not intervene. He also discovers there are two legal systems operating. One for Israeli children and one for young Palestinians. It's an impossible situation that may provide temporary security for Israel, but in the long term may well breed a new generation of Palestinians prepared to do anything to gain retribution.


Here's an official Israeli reponse to the broadcast. Note how the Israeli defence seems to be not to deny any of the alleged mistreatment, but to blame the Palestinians for making it unavoidable. Israeli Embassy blasts Four Corners report - The Australian Jewish NewsThe Australian Jewish News

ETA: :doh: Just seen Maturin's posted a link to it in a thread no one else is reading. He gets the scoop, but mine is a better copy of the video.
