A new Amnesty International report finds that Israeli occupation forces killed more Palestinians in the West Bank in 2013 than during the previous two years combined.

8,000 Palestinian children have been detained since 2000.

In three separate incidents, Palestinian youths were arrested, detained and tortured by Israeli forces in September, a new report alleges.

At least twice in 2013, Israeli occupation forces ambushed, shot and killed Palestinian children near schools in the occupied West Bank for no apparent reason.

Prisoners were held in outdoor cages in freezing cold and rain, part of systematic abuses by Israel documented in recent reports.

“I told the officer, ‘you want to arrest him; should I send milk and diapers with him?”

This is no “natural” disaster. It is the result of the sewer-like politics of the region, where Israel and Egypt collude, with US and EU complicity, to tighten the Gaza siege.
