Activist prevents Israeli officer from arresting Palestinian child

[ComradeChe]

An article by Lisa Goldman,

During Sunday’s Jerusalem Day events, a Palestinian boy, perhaps 10 years old, was chased down an East Jerusalem street by a very angry officer of the Border Police. The boy tripped and fell, then picked himself up just as the Border Police officer reached him and tried to grab him. But a 22 year-old female Israeli activist prevented the boy’s arrest by throwing herself between the two, allowing the Palestinian boy to flee.

It's the small things that I live for sometimes. Good luck and good on her.

What a dumb thing to do, obstructing a law officer from doing his duty.
Not to mention that kid might have been a terrorist/suicide bomber or a smuggler, Palestinian terrorist groups are known for their use of children in their "operations".

Are you being sarcastic? I would guess, though your track record of being a troll would make me suspicious.. .

I'm being serious. Palestinian terrorist groups often use small children for their vile purposes, including bombing attacks.

still joking right? :lol:

way to generalize (how do you know that kid has a bomb? you don't) over a kid with a flag, geez :rolleyes:

From what I read, the legal system of Israel has a ridiculous, absurd, and harsh/repressive policy on Palestinian under-aged youth. It's good that he escaped.

And the Israeli state uses its "law officers" to intimidate, abuse and often kill Palestinians, including children. Perhaps we should also profile all young Israeli men of military age too? Far more Palestinians have lost their lives in the civil violence between the Israeli state and the Palestinians than Israeli security agents, yet you take the side of the forces of the state against a child and a peace activist. Hamas may be a vile organization, but it is absurd to profile all Palestinian children because there happen to be Palestinian organizations with unappealing tactics or strategies. You sure you're a "Revolutionary" Leftist?

It's peculiar how you're called "antiracist" yet you are using such an obviously prejudiced line of thinking in this case. 99.99% of children, both Israeli and Palestinian, are not walking bombs, and without some compelling evidence to think he's a suicide bomber it's fucking ridiculous to make that conclusion.

How about you sod bloody right off and don't come back? You're going to get banned or restricted soon, but please spare us your inane rubbish in the meantime.

[Offbeat]

So shines a good deed in a weary world. Gives me some hope :)

And because that boy was Palestinian, he must have been a terrorist, right? Please leave and never come back, you may be called antiracist but you are clearly anything but.

[Geiseric]

he obviously thinks that racism and prejudice are different.

[Rafiq]

So let's see, he's a pig lover, and has no problem with Palestinian children being treated like shit because "They're terrorists!"

Ban his ass.

Even the Hamas, which is one of the most reactionary faction in Palestinian politics, don't deploy Child suicide bombers.

As a matter of fact, I've never heard of any Islamist organizations, or any Middle Eastern organizations in general using Children as suicide bombers... What the fuck?

Sadly the Taliban (http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/15/10411931-us-general-taliban-use-of-child-suicide-bombers-utterly-despicable?lite) do.

[DiaperGrandpa]

Well I'm just gonna ignore the dumb trolling here...anyway, thanks for posting! That's quite brave and admirable of her and I hope she and the kid are doing ok.
