Palestinian children describe nightmarish treatment at Israeli detention center

Please notice the date.  Two years ago.   These were children, 50% being held in pre-trial detention, but already convicted and serving harsh sentences.   Even though the boys were 17 at the time of the interview they were younger when picked up, and we have seen younger kids in each video I have shared.  Every single thing the Israeli soldiers did to these kids was to induce pain and fear.  It is the shit interrogators at Gitmo did to adults, and that was called a war crime then.   They are doing this to hurt, be cruel, to break these kids, and terrorize both them and their parents.   All because they are Palestinian.  This is the government the US has supported unequivocally, and this is why the attacks on Israel happen.   In the US some states have made it illegal to protest Israel, to support the BDS movement.  What is BDS? Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) is a Palestinian-led movement for freedom, justice and equality. BDS upholds the simple principle that Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as the rest of humanity.  The republicans in congress are trying to equate the protesting what Israel is doing with antisemitism.   That is stupid.   Don’t fall for it.  This is a short clip, all the words are in big print on the screen.  Please watch, and then spread the word.  Help these kids.   Hugs.  Scottie


 

Palestinian teenagers Ahmad, and Abdulkareem, both 17, describe their harrowing experiences being interrogated and ill-treated by Israeli forces in the Huwwara Interrogation and Detention Center near the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

How a Palestinian boy was blinded in Israeli prison

Again look at the date.  A year after the last video of a boy abused by Israeli authorities, and they blinded another boy.   If you were his parents, wouldn’t you want justice?  The Israelis kept him in a prison and denied him needed medical care.  Even his doctor couldn’t convince them to help the boy.   They let him go blind, they wanted to hurt him as an example of what happens if you don’t obey your masters.  I am angry!  I have lost online “friends” after saying that Gaza was an open air prison.   So-called critical thinkers couldn’t see that constant mistreatment will drive people to lash out any way possible.  Hugs.  Scottie

Palestinian teenager ‘tortured’ in Israeli jail

Notice the date.  6 years ago.   This is why Hamas attacked Israel.   The Israeli military has been mistreating the Palestinians and abusing their children!  Watch the video, see how a slight teenager was blindfolded, handcuffed, manhandled by 20 soldiers, then look at the other children at the end of the video, little kids not even teens yet, crying and being yanked along by soldiers.   Remember that these people have no rights, no due process.  They are treated worse than chattel.  If it was you, your family, your children … would you fight back?  Would you want a government that threw missiles and killed those hurting you?   Hugs.   Scottie

Fawzi al Juneidi, the 16-year-old Palestinian who was recently arrested by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank city of Hebron has been released. A photo of him blindfolded and arrested became a symbol of ongoing Palestinian protests sparked by Trump’s Jerusalem decision. Al Juneidi is out on bail and must appear before the military court again on January 14.

Palestinian child prisoners ‘abused’

****   TRIGGER WARNING FOR CHILD ABUSE ****


In this video you will see the photos of a kid, yes a young teen who to me looks 13, just home from Israeli detention after being held and beaten for four hours, he was then charged and released for a later court date where he will be found guilty.  Once found guilty, the kid will be taken to a prison in side Israel where his family and any friends are not allowed to see him.   He will have no rights, and no one to help him.   

Picked up off the street, he was then beaten and abused.   Israeli spokes people are on every major news network claiming how brutal Hamas is, how they must be destroyed even if that means killing every Palestinian, man, women, and child.  Right now the confirmed totals are over 24,000 dead, 10,000 are children.  The estimated total is around 32,000 dead, another 64,000 injured and maimed.   This is the way Israel has long treated Palestinian children in detention, the Palestinians have long asked the international community for help in stopping it.  But no one could, because Israel treats Palestinians as bad or worse than black in apartheid South African and almost as bad as black slaves in the US.  Listen to how many Palestinian kids, minors from the West Bank where there is no Hamas in charge are taken in to custody and tried by military courts, they have no rights in these courts, nor does their families.   This is why there is no peace, why Hamas attacks Israelis.  Yet Netanyahu brags about denying the Palestinians a state and calls them animals.   Hugs.   Scottie 

Hundreds of Palestinian children are arrested by the Israeli military every year for throwing rocks at occupying forces. They are tried in Israeli Military Courts and human Rights organisations say the trials lack due process and are against international law. Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports from Abu Dis in the occupied West Bank.

Below there is another short video.   Please notice the date on this one.  It was ten years ago.  This is how they treated Palestinians ten years ago, how much worse do they treat them now!   This time of the Israeli military detaining, taking a five year old because he was throwing stones, they go collect the boy’s father.  Notice the video of the father and boy in custody, the father is bound and blindfolded.  He can not help his five year old son, and neither have rights under the military occupation.  While this is illegal internation Israel claims the child, a five year old, was a threat.   While they claim he was not arrested, think of the lifelong trauma of being taken, his father humiliated and unable to even comfort him.   Think he grew up to support Israel, or be another Hamas soldier?   Hugs.  Scottie

Video footage has emerged of a 5-year-old Palestinian child being detained by the Israeli army.

Below in another video only one year ago, a 7 year old boy dies from fear while being chased by Israeli soldiers.  Children so scared of soldiers they fear them to death.  Why would a 7 yr old be so scared?  This was the West bank, not even Gaza, and again no Hamas.  Think to the many stories of abuse that are and have been coming out that Israel has long denied.   Seems they were true.   What other horrors is Israel lying about.   The people there claim the main goal of the army is to cause this fear and maintain complete control.   These are an occupied people in an open air prison.  No wonder they fight back, wouldn’t you?  Hugs.  Scottie  

Thousands of Palestinians have taken part in the funeral of seven-year-old Rayyan Sulaiman in the village of Tuqu near Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank. His family says he died out of fear after Israeli soldiers chased children in the village. The Palestinian Health Ministry says efforts to resuscitate him failed. Al Jazeera’s Nida Ibrahim reports from the occupied West Bank.

The mistreatment continues.  This video was only 7 months ago, at the start of last summer.   By that time Israeli soldiers had already killed 155 Palestinians in the West Bank.   Remember the US military sniper that loved to kill little brown children in Afghanistan, he murdered detained prisoners by knifing them, he was brought up on charged yet tRump as commander in chief made the military give him back his awards and pardoned him.  Well Israel has lots of soldiers like him that feel that way towards the Palestinians.  They are nothing, they are simply fun targets to hurt, kill, torture, and destroy.   Like a live action video game.  Below the Israeli solders shoot a car with a man and a toddler … because they can.  Hugs.  Scottie.

Two-year-old Mohammad Tamimi — who was injured along with his father after being shot by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank — has died. Though the Israeli army says the toddler was mistakenly shot, the child’s father has denied the narrative

Just five days ago this inexcusable horror happened, Israeli soldiers stormed a building and in front of the family members stripped, tortured and beat the men, then executed them.  Like a gang of thugs on prey.  Then they left and knowing the women and children were still in there, Israeli solders shelled the building.  Horrible.  Hugs.  Scottie

A Palestinian family in Gaza says they witnessed the summary execution of 15 men when Israeli soldiers raided their apartment last month.

Again please look at the date.  A year ago.  Two crying terrified children, not even teenagers.  Their crime, being Palestinian.   This is why there is no peace for Israel!  This is why there is anger.  The story says the soldiers arrested the kids, that means they did not go home, but instead into detention for processing.  Reports say this can take a day to four months, and the child has no rights, no legal council, even their family is often not notified.   It is complete terrorism.  It is designed to harass and break the Palestinian people, to try to get them to self deport to where they will have a chance for a decent life.  This short clip says it all.   A 6 or 7 year old kid begging and crying out “What will happen to us” and “What are they going to do to us”.   What are they going to do to us … if that was your child would you like the people / government that did that?  Or would you want to hurt them back.   Hugs.

There are more, it seems an unending amount of these videos.   Going back decades.  Now that I have watched a few, the grand YouTube pusher wants me to view them all.   I can not.  I have done my part.  I just beg that others who can do more not only stop Israel, but punish them for what they are doing.   Hugs.   Scottie

What in the fuck is going on

How far the down in the gang thug chaos are the republicans wanting to go?  Attacking the defenseless simply because they already have nothing and nowhere to go.   What happened to bettering society, making things better for everyone?  These people only want to make it great for them, the rest are for exploitation and amusement.  This country, the US, had a brief resurgence of enlightenment and now in the last 8 years, especially the last 3, the right wants to tear it all down, destroy anything good or enlightened in the country.   They mock decency and act like they are superior for being cruel.   I am at a loss these days what is driving these people.   I have seen them before, in my childhood.  I thought they were going extinct, yet here they are within inches of full power over everything.   Hugs.  Scottie

The bill would at the same time enhance penalties for drug use (specifically fentanyl, as it is their go-to talking point at the moment), and making it a felony to run away from the police…

Just anything that is observed among those whose living situation is so desperate, and basically saying it is illegal for anyone from a minority community to be fed up with this shit..

Also, considering the rate of LGBT+ homelessness compared to the general population. 5% of the youth population in general, yet accounting for 25% of homeless youth. I consider the Bill to be specifically targeted at LGBT+ people.

Considering the above. Some bigoted parents could disown their kid, kill them, and claim it was homeless trespass?

Some videos / new broadcasts on kids being bullied and how it is much worse now that maga wants to remove protections.

If the maga right wing have their way, any and all protections from students bullied because of being different or LGBTQIA.  New laws in red states like Florida remove not only the anti-bulling campaigns but also prevent teachers from stepping to defend the LGBTQIA attacked kid because that would be seen as promoting sexual orientation or gender identification.  All positive posters, safe space stickers, and rainbow acceptance stuff removed.  No more books or movies saying it is OK to be gay or different.  These laws take us back to a time when children were terrified to be outed as not straight or cis, and leave schools with no legal way to help these kids or prevent their abuse.   This is what the moms of TikTok and mom’s of liberty want.  This is what the maga Christian Republican Party want, to drive the kids who are different back into hiding who they are, push them violently back into the closet so that they will feel shame and fear over who they are.  Are we as a nation going to turn our backs on decades of work to promote tolerance and acceptance of those who are different?  Are we going to again return to a time when kids were terrified to learn or even be in school?  Will we let the maga thug mentality win as the way people in the US should act or be?   Hugs.  Scottie

These videos took me over a week to watch and then place here.  While some are out of date, I chose them instead of newer ones because this is the school world the maga Christians are fighting to return to.  Kids being different are singled out and collectively punished.   While watching these the ever helpful YouTube algorithm, or the push stay on our site what these next suggestion lists filled up with abuse videos.   So be careful if that bothers you as much as I, I finally took to watching them off-line.  Hugs.  Scottie

Gay couple sells restaurant after enduring years of torture from MAGA neighbors

Notice that the gay couple were there first.  But you know how tolerant and easy to get along with maga Christians are … only if they get their own way all the time.  Otherwise they are violent self entitled gang thugs who can not be talked to, reasoned with, coexisted with.  Look how tolerant these people are of LGBTQIA kids and people who are a different non-white skin tone, that is how they want communities and businesses to be run also, totally intolerant and aggressively unaccepting demands they be removed from the public.   Hugs.  Scottie.

Gay restaurant owners William Waybourn and Craig Spaulding have hung up their aprons.

The longtime married couple have sold the restaurant they founded several years ago, the Front Porch Market and Grill in The Plains, VA. The new owner will change the name and try to make a fresh start with the restaurant’s combative Christian and MAGA-loving neighbors, Mike and Melissa Washer, who did their best to drive the gays next door out of business — and succeeded.

“In the end, the decision was easier to make than I expected,” Waybourn told The Washington Post, which detailed the years-long feud — instigated by the Washers not long after they moved into the neighboring property — last July.

News of the Christian couple’s dirty tricks and clinical obsession with making their neighbors’ lives miserable brought Waybourne and his husband support from around the world.

“On some level, I know I am disappointing many people, especially those who have stood by us these past three years, many of whom I have never met from places I’ve never heard of,” Waybourn explained.

But he said he knows that for his own health and well-being, and for his adopted town’s, he needed to step away from the toxic environment that the MAGA-loving Washers had created.

For the longtime gay rights activist, who proudly flew a rainbow flag from the restaurant’s porch since it opened, there was no compromising with people who planted a rat by his back door and then shared a picture of it with the local health department. Incessant complaints over garbage, deliveries, parking, noise, Covid mandates, permitting, no-trespassing orders on both sides, and a lawsuit followed.

Restaurant employees reported Mike Washer had called the owners “f****ts”.

The Washers were MAGA bullies, and there was no stopping them.

Last summer, Waybourn was knocked back with a mild stroke, revealing the toll the Washers’ campaign was exacting.

For a few months after that, things quieted down.

But in November, after the Washers’ son was elected to the Board of Supervisors, a fresh round of harassment came The Front Porch’s way. The restaurant’s so-called Christian MAGA oppressors were relentless.

“My presence became so personal with the Washers that removing myself would give the new owner and the restaurant a fresh start,” Waybourn concluded.

The couple sold the Front Porch at the end of December.

Waybourn describes the restaurant’s new owner, chef and restaurateur Shawn Malone, as “very laid-back.”

Malone has a five-year lease on the building from Waybourn and Spaulding, with an option to buy. Plans are for the new business to open in February under the name Bistro at the Porch. 

Waybourn hopes Malone can set the restaurant — and the relationship with his neighbors — on a new course. “I don’t think he’s going to personalize the Washers’ antics as much as I have.”

“I just can’t continue to have the emotional turmoil of owning a business that I can’t enjoy,” Waybourn said.
