Testimony: 12-year-old beaten and imprisoned with adults
On 11 Sept. '08, in the middle of the night, soldiers arrested Muhammad Khawajah, 12, from Ni'lin village, beating and dragging him on his stomach. The child, suspected of stone throwing at a demonstration, was beaten during interrogation and held in Ofer Prison for 4 days with adult detainees. 'Abd a-Rahman al-Halim, a 14-year-old arrested with him, was held for 45 days.
Olive harvest begins in West Bank
The olive-picking, which began several weeks ago, has been accompanied by fear of settler attacks on Palestinian farmers. Several cases of harassment have occurred, including destruction of trees and crops, stone throwing and beating of farmers. B'Tselem reiterates the army's responsibility to protect farmers on their lands.
Testimony: Soldiers shoot Gazan fishermen off Rafah shore
On 5 Oct. '08, two fishermen sailed from Rafah in a rowboat. One of them, Muhammad Musleh, told B'Tselem that an Israeli navy boat fired at them without warning, although they were in the zone permitted for fishing by the army. Musleh was severely injured in his leg and is being treated in al-Muqassed Hospital in Jerusalem. B'Tselem knows of numerous cases, in the last two years, of soldiers shooting and abusing fishermen on the Gaza shoreline.
Testimony: Policemen and paramedic abuse Palestinian beaten by mob in Jerusalem
On 17 Oct. '08, several Jewish men armed with clubs attacked and beat Majdi and Khaled al-Husseini, residents of East Jerusalem, as they approached an ice cream shop in West Jerusalem. The two sought shelter with policemen standing nearby, who abused them. The paramedic treating Majdi al-Husseini, who was wounded, also abused him, willfully hurt him and tied his hands once inside the ambulance.

and "There is this claim that the obstacle [to peace] is that Hamas won't recognize Israel..." (09.30.2006)
"Israel always depended on the fact that its adversaries were stupid, incompetent... and, in fact, they were right... That when they were dealing with a Nasser, he was a blowhard; a Saddam Hussein,
he was a windbag; when they were dealing with Yasser Arafat, he was a hot air ballon.
They were nothing of any substance... [inaudible]... That was Israel's ace in the hole. Now comes along an Arab leader who says we have to use "reason."
It's a very remarkable thing to read. We have to use "reason."
We have to think, plan, organize."
