1. Still...these kids are older than Fogel family kids...
William ,   Israel   (07.18.11)
slaughtered in their sleep. I consider this an even graver injustice.
2. I have to say I am disturbed by this
William ,   Israel   (07.18.11)
placing a child under the age of 16 in detention for rock throwing is not a valid path to justice. These kids did indeed commit a violent crime, but barring injury or death, it's still a minor crime. Rather than imprisoning the child, I would imprison the parents, the ones who not only allow such activity to take place, they most times encourage it. "Palestinians" already ruin the youth of their children, and steal away their innocence with early indoctrination of racism and violence. There is no reason for Israel to play a part in this.
3. that's outrageous!
Rob ,   UK   (07.18.11)
why did the one get off??!
4. #2 Wrong
Mr. Obvious   (07.18.11)
If they had a gun would you have the same opinion a rock is a weapon and if they decided to pick it up and throw it they should be held responsible and if not their parents should be held responsible.
5. No answer
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (07.18.11)
The IDF should not answer to any Be?tselem claims, and the press should not give them space to attack our country. Just ignore them and they'll do much less harm!
6. whom to blame between 2005 and 2010
observer ,   Egypt   (07.18.11)
B'Tselem's delay in exposing IDF injustice?
7. If they throw stones illegally in order to harm and kill,
JBI   (07.18.11)
why shouldn't they be punished...??!!
8. Israeli Military Court Rocks !!!! Lets Rock and Roll
Chatzke ,   Herzliya   (07.18.11)
9. Human rights origins
norbus ,   jerusalem   (07.18.11)
In 1941 , People around Hitler formulated Plan B for conquest of Europe; this was published in Berlin in 1942. Part of the execution was completed to plan when Lisbon Treaty was signed three years ago, and United states of Europe, was created. The drivers of the new Nazi agenda, created tools to help them shape things up. One such is human rights If such was not in fact a tool lto drive Nazi agenda, Where was Europe in Darfur, SriLanka, Rowanda.. Fact is they use Human rights to build up the attack on Jews. Why is it, they only seek to preserve Palestian rights? because they want the Arabs to finish their scheme to exterminate Jews. Conspiracy theory? Automatic UN vote against Israel? Try googling a non Jewish author , Rodney Atkinson, an Englishman who did not want UK to be gobbled and subdues. Check whatr he says about FUEV and its work in the UN against Jews.. Human rights? Drivel.. a TOOL NAZIS created for longer term use against Jews. Human rights? feed the starving.. Europe only pamper the palestians, rejected by Arabs who refuse to absorb them, as they seriously hate them, as the tool to get back at the Jewish Nation
10. stones don't kill!!!!!!
tiki ,   belgium   (07.18.11)
Tell that to the women in Iran and other Muslim countries who are being murdered with stones as a weapon! These B'tselem idiots should stop talking and 'proof their point. Put them in a line and start 'hurling stones at them. If they come out 'healthy and in one piece from this experience, than they can talk.
11. #7 JBI what about the charideem
Haim ,   TA   (07.18.11)
Only last Shabbat , Charideem were rioting, not only throwing stones ( which can kill) at police officers but also at moving cars. Dont see them being locked up without a trial.
12. Jewish democracy!!!
Futura   (07.18.11)
How many of them Ultra-religious Jews throwing stones in Jerusalem were thrown into jail - grovn up men!? Jewish democracy - some are more equal than others...
13. B'Tselem Human rights
Niss ,   uk   (07.18.11)
Why dont B'Tselem invest time in teaching the children about protesting (if the children are) without throwing stones instead of complaining of IDF of 'injustice' against minors i lke to know what will B'Tselem Human rights if the stones were thrown at them what about IDF rights?
14. B'Tselem
Mordechai ,   London   (07.18.11)
I would like to see the B'Tselem report on the Justice System in "Democracies" such as Jordan & Syria. In these places there NO Justice System to speak of. It is about time that we unmasked these terrorist sympathisers in the garb of Human Rights Loving groups.
15. The subject is not about throwing stones
Devorah   (07.18.11)
The subject is intent to harm (aggravated assault) and/or to kill. These kids are not throwing stones just because it's fun. They are out to hurt someone at the very least, and they deserve the punishment they receive. I have been on the receiving end of these kinds of kids, and it's no fun. Out of nowhere, "f***ing Jew" and then getting pelted with stones. Cut them slack? No way. Their parents should also be fined and/or imprisoned as well. Other kids in the family? You say you have a job? Sorry, but you should have considered the consequences sooner. No breaks for these animals.
16. B'Tselem warped reasoning.
Keren ,   IL-BR   (07.18.11)
They-this twisted institution-must accuse palis for not punishing their "children"by acting like savage animals,and not Israel for punishing killers. But,as this is a crooked institution,they will not act reasonable and correctly,of course.
17. I do criticize IDF for not being fair with the Haredim
JewishHeart ,   Israel   (07.18.11)
Lets be rough and arrest minor Palestinians who throw stones and Haredim. They are both evil for throwing stones. I will not criticize the IDF for throwing Palestian minor stone-throwers in jail, but I will criticize the IDF for not throwing stone-throwing Haredim in jail.....that is a racist policy to do to one and not the other according to race. The law is the law, and it is a racist policy not to throw Haredim stone-throwers in jail.
18. "These animals"?????????????
Futura   (07.18.11)
Dehumanization. Ever heard of it? Can you think of a time when a certain nation was dehumanized in the same fashion? You are a fascist, plain and simple.
19. Remeber Bradford riots? diff bricks?
Rehavam ,   Israel   (07.18.11)
More than 300 police officers were hurt during the riot. There were 297 arrests in total; 187 people were charged with the offence of riot, 45 with violent disorder and 200 jail sentences totalling 604 years were handed down. B'Tselem where are u?
20. Why do you call it a ''human rights'' organization?
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (07.18.11)
It's not a human rights organization, it's a pro-Palestinian anti-Israel group primarily financed by our ''friends'' in the EU. On many occasions, their accusations have been proven false & their statements outright misrepresentations & distortions. This is exactly why we need laws to investigate such groups & the sources of their finance.
21. Who financed B'Tselem?
Jayy3 ,   Israel   (07.18.11)
SOROS???????? Did Obama pressure Bibi to stop the bill to investigate the findings oft these anti Israel hate groups that masquerade as NGO's??
22. stone throwers
Alan ,   Israel   (07.18.11)
How many of the Israeli children living over the green line have been arrested and prosecuted for throwing stone at soldiers?
23. 17 Haredim are not stone throwers
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.18.11)
The stonethrowers are rioters infiltrating among peaceful Haredi protesters. It is forbidden to throw stones on Shabbat.
24. #18 Futura
Devorah   (07.18.11)
Pray tell, what do you call it when punks like that treat you like an animal, and their parents let them get away with it if not encourage it? Would you call them facists, too? If not, what would you call them, both parents and kids?
25. #18 Futura - it STARTS at home
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (07.18.11)
Your DEHUMANISATION charge misses the mark TOTALLY. What kind of ANIMALS would deliberately send their YOUNG into DANGEROUS encounters? Apparently the palis DO. It is well-DOCUMENTED that pali children are being incited and INDOCTRINATED in schools etc to HATE Israel instead of co-existing PEACEFULLY. Also the pali AUTHORITIES and parents ESSENTIALLY did nothing to STOP children from committing VIOLENT acts under the guise of PEACEFUL protests. BTW, Btselem is the MAIN Israel NGO who PERPETRATED the oft-repeated LIE that the majority of Cast Lead Gaza casualties were CIVILIANS, i.e., just under 24% were COMBATANTS. This LIE, along with many OTHERS over the years, has been thoroughly DEBUNKED. With such a persistently BOTCHED reputation for ACCURACY, it is TELLING that Futura ACCEPTS btselem's info WITHOUT question. No WONDER the frothy accusation - You are a fascist - easily DROOLS from Futura's mouth.
26. B'Tselem
mendy ,   Jlem   (07.18.11)
If the idiots at Btzelem are really worried , I think they should stand between the kids hurling rocks and stones & the IDF
27. B'Tselem is a terrorist organization!
Dave ,   Washington   (07.18.11)
28. #2 I nam also disturbed
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (07.18.11)
If you have ever been on the receiving end of a rock, it can do a lot of damage if you are hit with one. Getting your car windshield smashed with one can cause you to veer out of control and crash. I propose that these 'youngsters' receive a punishment that is more suitable to convince them to stop their terror actions.
29. DEHUMANISATION indeed
Futura   (07.18.11)
You dont understand the word or it's history. Sad. And you ARE a fascist if you only see the stone throwing arabs as a problem (throw them in prison) and not the lethal stone throwing ultra-religious jews in Jerusalem (never in prison).
30. # 28 Have you been at the receiving end of an american bomb?
