Awake Goy Days of Palestine, Jerusalem -Israeli District Court in Jerusalem convicted Palestinian boy Ahmed Manasrah, 14, of attempted murder and possession of a knife.
The boy was allegedly accused of attacking Israeli settlers in the illegal Israeli Jewish settlement of Pisgat Ze’ev in occupied East Jerusalem on October 12, 2015.
Ahmed was seen in a video suffering serious wound after an Israeli drive ran over him and other Israelis insulting him, preventing medical aid for him and shouting: “Die, son of a whore.”
Hassan Manasrah, Ahmed’s cousin who was with him, was shot dead by the Israeli border guards, claiming he had a knife and attempted to stab them.
Based on a CCTV camera videos, which a Canadian investigator hired by Middle East Rising proved they were doctored, and a violent interrogation conducted by several harsh Israeli interrogators, the Israeli court convicted Ahmed of stabbing an Israeli settler of his age and carrying a knife.
The teen was hospitalised in an Israeli hospital and was handcuffed and leg-chained to his bed during his treatment. Israeli authorities claimed he received decent treatment, but his father reiterated that office of the Israeli PM published fake pictures for him being served decently.
Lawyer of the Palestinian Prisoners’ Committee (PPC) Tariq Barghouth said the decision is appealable. “We hope the Supreme Court will view this humanitarian case differently,” he said.
“Once again, the Israeli court proves its racist treatment of the Palestinians,” the lawyer said, noting the “double standard” of the Israeli justice system when it comes to punishing Palestinians accused of committing crimes against Israelis, compared to cases of settlers attacking Palestinians.
Manasra’s trial was postponed several times until he turned 14 in January, the age of legal liability for only the Palestinians in the Israeli law. For Israelis, legal liability is 16.
