    [During the ceasefire, Israel released] 240 Palestinian women and children. The deal…raised questions about why so many children were being held in Israeli prisons. The reality is that the most common charge against children is throwing stones.

    An estimated 10,000 Palestinian children have been held in military detention over the past 20 years, with Save the Children noting that they are “the only children in the world who are systematically prosecuted in military courts.” As of Nov. 20, Israeli forces had arrested as many as 880 Palestinian children this year, a practice made possible under Israel’s draconian military laws.

    Israel is just sickening. Someone asked me why I consider Israel’s actions as genocide. The treatment of an ethnic group’s children is a key indicator. Israel and genocide Joe have to be stopped.

          Out of curiosity, how old should someone be when they are detained without any due process, held without charges and at the whim of some invading military force? When is a good age to start doing that?

          From what I’ve read, some people are recruited as teenagers.

          Now a question to you , why did you ask me this question instead of googling it? 🤔 I’m assuming you already know the answer. So what’s your point with the question? Thanks.

          Edit: completely unrelated but I didn’t get a notification of you mentioning me… not sure why /:
