Amira Hass in Haaretz: ‘Last Thursday evening, a couple and their 10-year-old son visited the son's grandfather, who lives elsewhere in the village. The child went down to buy something at the grocery store. It was around 11: Late, it's true, but between Thursday and Friday people spend time with family until late. After all, the next day is a day off work.’
And: ‘"Your son threw a stone at me," the officer claimed. How? the father, 46, protested. "He's 10-years-old. He just went to buy something at the convenience store. And look, he's just standing by the store door, crying."’
As well: ‘The journalist in me reminded the security official that the child was 10 years old, and that this arrest was illegal.’
The niceties of legalities are optional.
If you decide who’s a terrorist, a baby can be a terrorist.
Certain people are born guilty.
