By Philip Chester, published 12/2/2014

Sticks and stones will break bones, so how to deal with the perpetrators, even if they are Palestinian children?

Well said, though I feel it should be more strongly worded.

Maybe the ABC and Joe Lyons should follow this up?

"Palestinian Authority Human Rights Violations Ignored by Media, West"

"Evidently, most Western governments, journalists and human rights organizations have chosen to endorse the Palestinian Authority's stance that the only evil-doers are the Israelis. And that is precisely why the ICHR report on the anarchy, lawlessness and human rights violations by the Palestinian Authority and Hamas will be completely ignored in the West."

Does this mean we now have two David Singers to put up with?

As one who watched the whole 4 Corners segment, let me say I wasn't impressed with the soft ABC treatment of the Israeli atrocities although the images spoke ten thousand words.

Raiding homes at 2am in the morning and hauling Palestinian kids and teenagers off to interrogation centres and torturing them is not my idea of democracy in action.

Thankyou ABC for airing this revealing documentary.

The sooner the Israelis get pushed back to where they came from before Israel was corruptly established the better for World Peace.

Israelis are a blight on humanity!

a "very complex and multi faceted problem". Indeed.

That is to say, how to maintain the occupation of the Palestinian territories in a way which avoids criticism, is, naturally, a "very complex and multi faceted problem".

The author seems quite oblivious to the solution that Israel should stop the occupation of the Palestinian territories. Which seems to justify the earlier comment that OLO readers now have two David Singers to put up with.

However Israel treats Palestinian resistance, or the Palestinians generally, it wouldn't turn foreign occupation into anything other than foreign occupation.

Israelis? You mean Jews. Say what you mean mate, we all know exactly what you are. Starts with an A and ends with an E

You are wrong way wrong.

I didn't know how someone who appears not to be totally uneducated can be so hoodwinked.

That programme was a disgrace, if you followed the daily the goings on in much the Arab world, you'd know it was a gross exaggeration.

The IDF go into homes at night to avoid others in the village getting hurt, that’s what happens when they riot.

They showed a young child being taken by the IDF, yes. What they chose not to show is that child sitting in a vehicle waiting for his father to collect him.

These teenagers are thugs. Not too long ago 3 or more of these 'teenagers' broke into a home during the night and murdered two adults and three children, one of which was a month old baby. They missed that baby initially, but the baby cried, so in the words of the murderer in court, he killed the baby because he cried. Next thing you know Israel will once again release a oad of criminals in exchange for peace talks, which once again the Arabs knock back. These killers are hailed as heroes and have children's playgrounds named after them.

“The sooner the Israelis get pushed back to where they came from before Israel was corruptly established the better for World Peace.”

Really, it’s a proven fact pal that we have been there for around 3,500 years. Whereas your ‘friends’ the Arabs arrived in the 7th century, when true to form, they conquered the area and killed, raped and pillaged.

David G. states that "Israelis are a blight on humanity!" I wonder if he includes the Arab-Israelis in that much abused country. No. He has probably never heard of them, and is just a straight anti-Semite and racist.

"quite oblivious to the solution that Israel should stop the occupation of the Palestinian territories. ". Unilateral withdrawal from Gaza went well didn't it? Internecine and rockets. A program to be expected from 'your' ABC. Come in spinner! Ask what members of the NT cattle industry think of the 'balanced' ABC.
