Three in four Palestinian children detained in 2013 by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank endured physical violence during arrest and interrogation.

DCI-Palestine research shows that children arrive to Israeli interrogation centers blindfolded, bound and sleep deprived.

The most common charge is for throwing stones. Currently, 41.5 percent of Palestinian child prisoners are detained inside Israel in violation of Article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.

"The most moral army in the world"  claim  they arrested the Palestinian children to protect the security of Israel state.

If you saw Palestinian children who  through  this horrible experience, if you look deep in their eyes, you will discover they became an old man, they lost their smiles, they became more afraid from the dark, sounds, unknowns, and the future.

From the moment they arrested, they will miss themselves, they will miss riding their bicycle, their mothers when she hugs them, advice their fathers, they will miss their schools, because they are in prison now.

138 Palestinian children, they have names, dreams and unique personalities, Israel military deprived them from their childhood, from their rights to be a child, because they treat them as criminals.

Israel forces  frequently come  at night to arrest the children, to turn their dreams to real nightmare, they take the child while he was crying, or silent from the choke because they become believe that the life is hard.

Italian poet  Dante once said "The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of moral crisis". 

 So as a human being we should stop Israel crimes, defense for children to live better life, it's not consider as a political issue, but it's a humanity issue, we must cooperate with each others to heal the world, and give the children their rights, because the future depend on them.
