Young Hero's
Police Demand Parents Give Pictures of Arrested Teens(IsraelNN.com) Police appeared at homes of arrested minor teenage girls Thursday and said they had court orders demanding that parents turn over pictures of their jailed children. The girls, most of whom are ages 13 to 15, have refused to identify themselves because they refute the right of a secular court to judge them.
The legal rights organization Honenu said that the action reflects intense public pressure on the courts to release the children. "These young girls have succeeded in forcing the entire system and have proven that Jewish settlement in Judea and Samaria is not a crime." They were arrested for trying to establish a hilltop community near Beit El, north of Jerusalem.
The girls have told their parents that prison guards and police have harassed them in prison, forcing them to strip and depriving them of sleep in an effort to break their will not to identify themselves.
When a country is forced to arrest it's own children, whose only crime is wanting to live free in the land that G-D gave them, this is a country, in trouble.
We have seen the arrest of these young girls and their abuse while in custody, as well as the arrest of citizens of S'derot, for what?
Should the government be afraid of it's own citizens that demand to be free from the threat of terrorism and rocket attacks? Are these girls, just 13-15 years old, a threat to the welfare of the State of Israel?
These young girls are hero's in their own right, they are fighting back against a police state that has been expanding in Israel since the time of Rabin.
