PETITION: FREEDOM FOR THE HARES BOYS!
Please sign and share wide.
The petition text reads:
To: Israeli Chief Military Prosecutor’s Office
I write to you on behalf of Mohammed Suleiman, Ammar Souf, Mohammed Kleib, Tamer Souf, and Ali Shamlawi – five Palestinian teenagers who are being held in an Israeli adult military prison charged with 20 counts of attempted murder for alleged stone-throwing and 5 counts of stone-throwing following a car accident on Road 5 on March 14, 2013.
These boys – who are only 16-17 years old – are beloved members in their community. I am convinced from the accounts of the boys’ families that they were wrongfully charged with “stone-throwing” and “attempted murder”. I am also convinced that they are being prosecuted unlawfully through the military court system due to allegations of torture and mistreatment during their arrests, detention, and interrogation.
I therefore request that you immediately release these five boys and dismiss all charges against them. I also request an investigation into the actions of the Israeli military, police, and interrogators following their arrests.
Child arrests, particularly accompanied with coerced confessions and torture, and arbitrary trials under the military court are an affront to justice. I, and many others, protest the imprisonment of the Hares Boys and the ongoing abuse of Palestinian children.
Sincerely,
[Your name]
Hares Boys 
set them free

Everyone knows so-called “eye-witness testimony” isn’t viable enough to convict on. A REAL Jew would not do to another what they wouldn’t want done to them. And remember, bearing false witness is a serious crime against G-d.

Please free the five teenagers. To arrest them on a whim and without eyewitnesses is unjust. In the eyes of world opinion your duty is to provide a righteous legal mandate.

Libérez ces 5 enfants. Il est inhumain de détruire leur vie, de les torturer pour leur extorquer des aveux.
Israël devient de moins en moins crédible avec ce genre de procédé.

What a travesty of everything that’s humane and just. This report http://caabu.org/sites/default/files/resources/0802_CAABU_Palestinian%20detainees_singles%20SMALL.pdf shows how Palestinian children are mistreated.

Thank you Naomi for sharing this. It is indeed sickening how the Israeli military occupation system treats Palestinian children. Their sole “crime” was to be born in a certain place at a certain time. We must challenge this grave injustice – as mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins – and first of all, as human beings.

We must ensure that our politicians are fully aware of Israel’s ill-treatment and infringement of international law under military occupation. Most importantly we have to expose how they cannot choose commerce over human rights indefinitely.

As well as signing the petition, we must ensure that our MPs are fully aware of how Israel is ill-treating young Palestinians (and indeed how many adult Palestinians are imprisoned) – some for long periods without charge – under the military occupation. Our government must no longer get away with choosing trade and commerce over human rights and international law.

With their swanky suits and university degrees and bulging wallets, Israelis and their supporters would have us believe that they are the most civilised mortals on the planet instead of which they are the most ugly, evil, disgusting, greedy, thieving, poisonous, lying gang of thugs one is ever likely to have the misfortune to come across in a lifetime. Their brutality, cowardice and malevolence makes one want to vomit. Nauseating child torturers.

We will have the petition up as soon as we can. Meanwhile, please have a look at the What You Can Do section – writing a letter to your embassy, contacting your local politicians, sharing the story on your social networks, organising an action against Israel’s treatment of Palestinian children are all great things we can all do.
Thanks so much Starhawk for your determination to take action. May justice prevail.
