Kassam Masarwa, a Palestinian child prisoner, and his father have spoken out about the brutal treatment he endured in an Israeli jail. Kassam lost his right hand after being hit by a sound grenade thrown by Israeli soldiers. He was then beaten, interrogated, and held in prison without charge. The treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli jails is not widely reported, but an investigation by Save the Children has revealed widespread abuse. Kassam’s father is concerned about how his son will receive adequate treatment for his injuries.

Presenter Guy Lerrer said on אייס, “So apparently he is sitting with two bandaged hands and truly appears to be in distress, but our reporter Tal Shalom turned to the Shin Bet and asked how this happens to us, and there they remembered his release video where he looks completely different. What happened to him? Maybe he got injured during the celebrations.”

The situation of Kassam and other Palestinian children in Israeli jails has sparked a debate about the fairness of the Israeli justice system. On מעריב און ליין, Hannah Peri wrote, “Agree or disagree on the matter of a deal that does not bring back all the captives, it is impossible not to be filled with a range of emotions when seeing the Israeli children who were kidnapped returning from captivity. Each child, a vast and sweet world of love, emotions, worry, and innocence that was corrupted cruelly from the beginning of their lives. There is no parent who does not feel that these were their own children, and the thoughts and fears overwhelm their mind.”

Peri went on to describe the difficult decision of releasing only some of the captives, and the mental abuse of the family members left behind. She also noted the recent sentencing of Amir Raz to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife Diana Dadabayev in front of their children in the upscale settlement in Samaria.

The plight of Kassam Masarwa and other Palestinian children in Israeli jails has sparked a debate about the fairness of the Israeli justice system. While the Israeli court has taken steps to ensure justice is served in some cases, the treatment of Palestinian children in Israeli jails remains an issue of concern. It is clear that more needs to be done to ensure the safety and well-being of these children, and to ensure that their rights are respected.

The story of Kassam Masarwa is a reminder of the need for greater awareness and action to protect the rights of Palestinian children in Israeli jails. As citizens of the world, we must stand together to ensure that all children, regardless of their background, are treated with respect and dignity.
