Cell 36: Palestinian Children Locked in Solitary Confinement in Israel
Cell 36 in Al Jalame prison, northern Israel, is one of a handful of cells where Palestinian children are locked in solitary confinement for days or even weeks. Mohammad Shabrawi from Tulkarm, in the West Bank, was arrested last January, aged 16, and Ezz ad-Deen Ali Qadi from Ramallah, who was 17 when arrested, talk about their experiences * Archive footage courtesy of B'Tselem

Show AllI hope you hawks in Israel enjoy all those bombs and bullets the US sends you. It does not violate Uncle Sam's standards of morality for you to deny your brothers any minimum standard of human rights. Just don't forget what you are selling.
You are NOT a sovereign state. You are nothing more than a base of operations in the Mid-East for the great USA, the greatest and therefore the most evil empire the world has ever known.
If there indeed were a Jewish or a Christian God, fire and brimstone would rain on the ugly sins of this unholy alliance.
This report is an example of the kind of “democracy” Israel has for the people of Palestine.
Israel routinely kills Palestinian children. Torturing children is consistent with their overall policy. The USA kills lots of women and children. Good ol Obamneys recent video kissing Zionist ass might make you puke. Have a barf bag handy.

We are subsidizing this. Remember an incident in Pennsylvania regarding Judges on the take for sending children to For Profit Prisons? This isn't just an israeli problem....It's our collective problem so now how do we deal with it? We cannot rely or trust our the legal system let alone our 'elected' leadership and that is clearly obvious.
Zionism is a cancer. These children have known nothing but oppression and humiliation their entire lives. I abhor war, but if we're gonna bomb anyone, it should be the murderers in Tel Aviv.
Funded by Right Wing Neo Fasisct AmeriKKKa.....
From the great number of responses to this article it's very clear that the majority of readers are Israel-supporters who condone the unjust treatment Palestinians must endure, have endured for more than 60 years. These readers are people who believe that Palestinians are somehow inherently violent and given to terroristic behaviors and that they are really causing all that trouble in Israel. Of course, Palestinian children are no exception. In fact even their artwork is dangerous and should not be allowed showings in the U.S. Especially not in San Francisco.
It's hard to believe that these war-mongering Palestinians have waited for more than 60 years for the U.S. to intervene fairly toward a two-state peace solution, even as their children are maimed and killed....or placed in prison.
Israel supporters? Where? Perhaps it might be a good idea to read the comments
So much for the "rule of law" and "human rights"......Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School, Abe Foxman, Eli Wiesel, targeted assassinations, indefinite detention.......... and the Israeli High Court.
