Why are there currently 353 Palestinian children in the Israeli jails ?
Because the Zionist state is a terrorist colonial state loved by Zionist psychopaths who view Palestinians and their children as subhumans. No decent human being can justify imprisoning indigenous Palestinian children, except Zionist nut cases here.
Overview Israel prosecutes between 500 and 700 Palestinian children in military courts each year. Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank, like adults, face arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment under an Israeli military detention system that denies them basic rights. Since 1967, Israel has operated two separate legal systems in the same territory. In the occupied West Bank, Israeli settlers are subject to the civilian and criminal legal system whereas Palestinians live under military law. Israel applies civilian criminal law to Palestinian children in East Jerusalem. No Israeli child comes into contact with the military courts. Israel has the dubious distinction of being the only country in the world that automatically and systematically prosecutes children in military courts that lack fundamental fair trial rights and protections. Israel prosecutes between 500 and 700 Palestinian children in military courts each year. Since 2000, Israeli military authorities have detained, interrogated, prosecuted, and imprisoned approximately 13,000 Palestinian children, according to estimates by DCIP. Ill-treatment in the Israeli military detention system remains “widespread, systematic, and institutionalized throughout the process,” according to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) report Children in Israeli Military Detention Observations and Recommendations . An average of 263 Palestinian children aged 12-17 years old were detained by Israeli authorities at any one time between January 2016 and September 2020, based on data released by the Israel Prison Service (IPS). During this period, an average of 51 young Palestinian children (12-15) were detained. Israeli military courts have jurisdiction over any person older than 12 years. Children typically arrive to interrogation bound, blindfolded, frightened, and sleep deprived. Children often give confessions after verbal abuse, threats, physical and psychological violence that in some cases amounts to torture. Israeli military law provides no right to legal counsel during interrogation, and Israeli military court judges seldom exclude confessions obtained by coercion or torture. A child is considered any person under 18 years, according to international norms. Between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2022, DCIP collected sworn affidavits from 766 child detainees detained by Israeli forces from the occupied West Bank and prosecuted in Israeli military courts describing their arrest, interrogation, and detention experiences. 3 out of 4 Palestinian child detainees experience physical violence at the hands of Israeli forces. 59% were arrested at night 86% were not informed of the reason for their arrest 97% had their hands bound 89% were blindfolded 75% were subjected to physical violence 58% were subjected to verbal abuse, humiliation, or intimidation during or after their arrest 54% were transferred from the place of their arrest on the floor of a military vehicle 80% were strip searched 42% were denied adequ
