What if it Were Your Child?
Almost every subject can be argued
two ways, especially when the subject at hand is as controversial as the
Palestinian-Israeli conflict. No matter how unjust the Israeli siege on
the Gaza Strip is, there will always be those biased souls that justify
it with the "Hamas terrorists" argument and the hackneyed Israeli
pretext of state security. However, one subject, which cannot possibly
have a flip side to it, is the torture of children. Only a deranged and
perverted mind could justify that. Oh, and of course, Israel’s security
establishment.
On May 18, Defense for Children International released a press statement
in which it said it had filed a complaint with the UN Special
Rapporteur on Torture in which it documented the cases of 14 Palestinian
children who were either sexually assaulted or threatened with sexual
assault by Israeli interrogators, soldiers or police last year.
Throughout 2009, DCI’s Palestine chapter reviewed over 100 affidavits
from Palestinian minors between the ages of 12 to 16 who gave sworn
testimonies of their torture and sexual assault at the hands of Israeli
soldiers or interrogators.
To read some of these affidavits is shocking. Israeli interrogators bind
boys as young as 13 to chairs, sometimes handcuffed, and squeeze their
testicles until the child admits to throwing stones. In other sworn
affidavits, all of which were taken immediately after the boys were
released, the minors recount how Israeli soldiers or interrogators slap
them, kick them, call their mothers whores and threaten to rape them.
"He started beating me all over my body and once again he grabbed my
testicles and started pressing hard. 'I won’t let go of your testicles
unless you confess,’ he said to me. I felt so much pain and kept
shouting. I had no other choice but to confess to throwing stones," said
one 15-year old boy in his testimony to DCI.
