BETIN, West Bank (AP) —
The fate of a 14-year-old Palestinian girl, tried before an Israeli military court for hurling rocks at
passing cars in the West Bank and sentenced to two months in prison, has
gripped Palestinians who say her treatment demonstrates Israel's excessive
measures against stone-throwing youth....
The Israeli military said al-Khatib was charged with
stone-throwing, attempted stone-throwing and possession of a knife and that
under a plea bargain, she was sentenced to two months in prison and a $1,500
fine.
Kids must not be kids. And it's the nature of oppression that it must be accepted, or the penalties of resistance will be applied.
