ANCH'IO HO TIRATO PIETRE

Avevo circa 5 anni e mezzo e la mia famiglia era in procinto di cambiare casa. Un giorno andammo a vedere i lavori di ristrutturazione della nuova casa ed io vidi un mucchietto di calcinacci sul balcone, i miei genitori stavano parlando con gli operai. Non so come iniziai a tirare un calcinaccio dal balcone, eravamo al secondo piano, ed  ecco, quando toccava terra faceva una nuvoletta bianca. Uno, due, tre e non mi ricordo quanti ancora. All'improvviso qualcuno urla dalla strada. Poco dopo sento bussare ed un signore inizia a urlare che un bambino tirava sassi dal balcone. Quel bambino era un bambino di 5 anni che si divertiva a tirare sassi senza sapere che fosse pericoloso, per me era solo una nuvoletta bianca. Ne segui una reprimenda da parte del signore che era salito in casa, seguita da una di mio padre. Dopo quasi 40 anni me ne ricordo ancora.
Oggi è uscito un video di alcuni militari che prendono un bambino di circa 5 anni, colpevole di aver loro tirato uno o più sassi. Nel filmato si vede il bambino portato in modo via brusco, ma non violento. In un altro video si vede  il padre e il bambino in attesa di essere interrogati dalla polizia. La particolarità di questa scena è che si svolge in Cisgiordania, che il bambino è palestinese e i militari israeliani.
Ora, tutti quanti sono pronti a gridare contro la cattiveria degli israeliani, a piangere per il povero bambino innocente, ma nessuno si chiede come facciano dei genitori a lasciare che il loro figlio di 5 anni vada in giro da solo a lanciare pietre?

The video, shot by Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem, shows soldiers from the Givati Brigade stationed in the West Bank city detaining Wa’adi Maswada, aged five years and nine months.
In the video, one of the soldiers is heard asking the boy, “Where is Daddy?” Several local residents try to speak to the soldiers and deter them from proceeding with the arrest. One of the soldiers then tells them [in English], “He’s a child, eh?… No, but he threw it.” Another soldier says to the boy and the crowd, “Get over here, don’t set me off.” A Palestinian teenager takes the child by his hand and leads him off to the side. The whole time the 5-year-old can be heard crying.
Six soldiers can be seen gathering around the two, as the teenager stars telling the commanding officer from the Givati Brigade where the child lives. The child is led to a military Jeep, and the officer tells the child, “Climb in with me.” The child starts to flail and tries to run away, still crying, while residents start to gather around. An older person arrives and takes the child’s hand and they climb up together, as the boy continues to weep and is eventually dragged into the Jeep.
According to reports by B’Tselem, the soldiers arrived at the home of the Maswada family together with the boy. The mother was home at the time, according to B'Tselem, and the officer told the mother he was going to turn the child over to Palestinian police, but that they refused to take him before his father, Karem, arrived. Half an hour later the father came home, and the officer told him he was arresting the boy and turning him over to the Palestinian police.
“I asked the officer, ‘Why would you arrest a five-year old?’" the father said in his testimony to B'Tselem. "A soldier standing next to the officer showed me a stone and claimed my son threw it and that it hit the tire of a Jewish settler’s car driving north near the Abed checkpoint." The father said he tried to persuade the officer not to take the boy to the District Coordination and Liaison Administration. The officer told him he would be arrested as well if he didn’t let the boy go.
"I went inside and brought Wa’adi out," the father said. "He was hiding inside, crying.” According to testimony from the family, the two were taken to a military base where they were detained for about half an hour. Afterward the two were brought to the police checkpoint in Hebron.
Another video shows the father, his eyes covered with a piece of flannel, handcuffed, with the boy standing next to him. At the same time, one of the soldiers pulls out a digital camera and documents the B’Tselem field worker who is filming the events. According to the family, about half an hour later, a lieutenant colonel shows up, apparently from the local District Coordination and Liaison headquarters. Only after he arrives are the father’s blindfold and handcuffs removed, and the officer starts to interrogate the man. Relatives report that a Palestinian liaison officer later arrived accompanied by several policemen. The father and son were handed over and taken to the Palestinian police station. After a brief interrogation they were released. In a letter to the legal counsel for the Judea and Samaria Division, Jessica Montell, executive director of B’Tselem wrote, “The video shows clearly that this was not the error of a lone soldier but rather conduct that, appallingly, is seen as reasonable by all involved, including senior commanding officers. It is especially astonishing that, at no point during this incident, were any red flags raised: not by the fact that they terrified a 5-year-old, threatened him and his parents about turning them over to the Palestinian police, threatening to arrest the father, which has no legal basis whatsoever, and not his handcuffing or blindfolding in the presence of his young child.”
Two days ago, the website of Hakol Hayehudi reported that a week ago, soldiers handcuffed two Jewish children, aged 10 and 13, using plasticuffs, after the two showed up at a construction site between the village of Assira A-Kabilla and the Jewish settlement of Yitzhar where reservoirs are being dug. According to the website, the soldiers who were securing the location detained the two children for several minutes and released them only after warning them never to come back to the site.
