Palestinian child visit dad in prison, family can’t!
Written by Haitham Sabbah on 30. October 2006, 0027hrs // Part of Haitham Sabbah's adventure in Did you know?, Human Rights, Israel, Palestine // Other posts by Haitham Sabbah
Some of these children are as young as 4 years old, they take a number of buses, sometimes traveling up to 20 hours, with checkpoints, searches, etc. for a 45 minute visit with dad. [Hat tip: Editerette]
Israel does not allow most wives or other relatives this privilege for the over 9,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails… and even most children can only go until their 16th birthday… after that, you ask? “They don’t need their dad, Israel said!”

Now let me get this straight.
Children under 16 can visit but over 16 can’t?
This is from a country supported by the US that is pushing family values?
Does Bush know about this?
Are these family values being ignored by Bush?
OH! I’m sorry, these are just Muslims and they don’t have family values!
They are terrorists. Forgive my ignorance.
When will the US and the West realise that these people are citizens of this world and that they are not terrorists?
Their religion is more forgiving than the Christian faith.
You treat them as terrosists and you will get terrorists. Still it will be only a few, but these few will do more damage that the US can repair with their aggresive campaign agaist Muslims.
Bush, stop talking to God because it will only get the world into more trouble.
As John Lennon said “give peace a chance”.

Every time Israel is accused of racial and discriminatory measures against Palestinians by those who want to boycott Israel, Israel’s defenders come to the rescue by arguing that Israel has no such laws.
I wish someone could initiate a website with only a répertoire of these discrinatory acts and depict the regularity of these acts. In fact Israel is able to get away in front of some moderates because it shows that these acts are only exceptions while they are not. A website can serve as a répertoire and demonstrates that these acts have a regularity and a pattern and that even if they are not dictated by a law, they constitute an implicit law.

sophia,
I am sorry about you views.
The US stops every UN sanction against Israel because they lobby the US with money that the US gives them to support their sovereinty.
(If the spelling is wrong, sorry, I am tired.)
The only terrorists left in this world are Osama, Olmert and Bush.
They all defy the rules of their constitution or their religion or both to make their cases for their extreeme views.
Most people in this world (religious or not) want peace.
Too bad the people in control want war!
