Good question, dear boy. Allow me to demonstrate an answer.
It's illegal under Israeli law to detain children under 12. It's illegal under Israeli law to detain children under 16 without informing their parents. It's illegal to detain any person without trial.
And it's illegal under Israeli law to breach the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, of which Israel is a signatory.
I'm not talking of cancelling aid to Palestinian terrorists or
killing Palestinian children, a subject on which FD alludes to but doesn't want to talk about.
No, I'm talking about detaining hundreds of kids as young as 10 in military prisons for throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers. I'm talking about doing so to some for more than 2 years, and not even attempting to inform their parents.
In the civilised world, we call this a disproportionate response. What do you people call it?
