No one, including the soldiers involved in this ridiculous situation, can possibly believe that such young children as mentioned below, are terrorists. However, the name of the game is power and the installation of it into the deepest corners of the Palestinian mind. The trauma to both parents and child are important factors.

ISRAELI FORCES ATTEMPT TO ARREST 2-YEAR-OLD PALESTINIAN CHILD
Mo’menShtayeh probably owns a John Cena shirt, the WWE wrestler who the Palestiniankids hero worship, their shrill voices echoing in neighborhood streets ofCena’s catchphrase, “You can’t see me!” accompanied with waving a hand in frontof their faces.

Israel’s continuous arrest campaign of Palestinian youth andchildren of Silwan has intensified in recent weeks, with no place or activityseemingly safe for minors from Israeli authorities. Arrests have occurred aschildren return from school, drink coffee on the balcony of their family homeor buy vegetables in the street. Many minor arrests in recent days have taken placeduring quiet periods in Silwan, entirely unprovoked.
The campaign highlights Israeli authorities’ willingness to defy basicstandards of conduct and treatment, such as targeting and criminalization ofminors. Humiliation and physical assault are reportedly commonplace ininterrogation and detention, even for minors.
7 children numbered amongst 8 arrested by Israeli forces in Silwan today. Onechild arrested, Yahya al-Rishaq, is not even 6 years of age. Despiteal-Rishaq’s attempts to persuade soldiers not to take his young son, Israeliforces insisted on his arrest.
Three minors were abducted by undercover units, one aged 17 and the others 15.Bilal Osama Natshe (15), Maher Naim (17) and Ahmed Awad al-Bakri (15) weretaken whilst outside their homes in Alabasya district, bereft of anyinvolvement in clashes or confrontation.
Another minor, 15-year old Saleh Shweiki was summoned to interrogation whenpolice called his father at their Bir Ayyub home. Shweiki was detained onarrival on charges of participation in neighborhood clashes.
Shaher Zaidani, meanwhile, was arrested while on his way to work from his homein Al-Bustan district. Zaidani was seized while waiting for the bus, imprisonedand reportedly beaten in custody by Israeli forces.
Mahmoud Mohammed Abu Khater, 14, and another unidentified child were abductedby undercover forces while sitting outside their homes in Athury neighborhood.Khater is due to appear before the Magistrates Court tomorrow morning onfabricated charges.
The targeting of minors has left Silwan families frightened for their childrenand ever-more cynical of Israeli forces’ largely unfounded allegations againstyoung members of their community.
