News and Views on Palestine and the Israel Situation

Daily kidnappings, shootings and the constant sound of drones overhead.  All a part of the life of the Gaza Strip.  

How many of you have been arrested for being who you are?  When you were arrested were you in your teens the first time or younger?  If younger you would still be older than most kids in Palestine.  The Israeli cops or military troops arrest kids as young as 6 and 7 years old. They can be in "Administrative Hold" for up to 90 days with unending extensions.  The kids are abused, beaten, and sometimes raped.  

Then the real problems begin.  Sometimes the Israelis like to make extra money by selling kidneys, lungs, hearts and livers.  The younger the "donors" the better and the prisoners die all the time.  Trafficking in transplants is still going on even though the two major facilitators are in prison and the doctors that do the operations.  But there is always a corruptible doctor or two.
