Via, Kim Iqbal - Unbelievable! The Australian TV channel ABC, which is one of the most mainstream television stations, showed a stark and mind-blowing documentary on the reality of the Palestinian occupation. Its stark and mind-blowing simply because, for almost the first time, a mainstream Western channel shows the pathetic situation as it really is, without watering it down or via Israeli propaganda. PLEASE forward this to your friends (after watching it yourself as well): The Israeli army is both respected and feared as a fighting force. But now the countrys military is facing a backlash at home and abroad for its treatment of children in the West Bank, occupied territory. Coming up, a joint investigation by Four Corners and The Australian newspaper reveals evidence that shows the army is targeting Palestinian boys for arrest and detention. Reporter John Lyons travels to the West Bank to hear the story of children who claim they have been taken into custody, ruthlessly questioned and then allegedly forced to sign confessions before being taken to court for sentencing. He meets Australian lawyer Gerard Horton, whos trying to help the boys who are arrested, and talks to senior Israeli officials to examine whats driving the armys strategy. The program focuses on the stories of three boys. In two cases the army came for the children in the middle of the night, before taking them to unknown locations where they are questioned.
