Gun Zionism
"“A 13 year old was taken but released two hours later after being driven around during that time by the army,” said an international volunteer. He was dumped from a military jeep miles from home but managed, at 13 years old, to hitchhike back to his family. He arrived at 10:00 am that morning, several hours after his nighttime arrest. A 15 year old boy was also arrested and taken to the Israeli military prison of Huwara, built on the lands of Nablus, also in the northern West Bank. On the same night, still Thursday, a 14 year old boy was arrested for the second time in his short life. The international volunteers at the IWPS house told PPN, “He was the first of the four boys to get arrested and was driven in a jeep around the village while the army was arresting the rest of the boys. He was taken that night to Ofar Prison [built on Ramallah lands].”"
