Stone Cold Justice

on Israel's torture of Palestinian children,

John Lyons, Janine Cohen and Sylvie Le Clezio Australia 2014

A film which has been produced by a group of Australian journalists has
sparked an international outcry against Israel after it explicitly detailed
Tel Aviv's use of torture against Palestinian children.
The film, titled 'Stone Cold Justice' documents how Palestinian children,
who have been arrested and detained by Israeli forces, are subjected to
physical abuse, torture and forced into false confessions and pushed into
gathering intelligence on Palestinian activists. Australia's foreign
minister Julie Bishop has spoken out against Israeli's use of torture
stating that "I am deeply concerned by allegations of the mistreatment of
Palestinian children," Israel's Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor has
described the human rights abuses documented in the film as "intolerable".
But rights groups have slammed this statement, saying that the Israelis are
doing nothing to change Tel Aviv's policy to torture Palestinian children.
Last year a report by the United Nations International Emergency Children's
Fund or UNICEF concluded that Palestinian children are often targeted in
night arrests and raids of their homes, threatened with death and subjected
to physical violence, solitary confinement and sexual assault. The film
Stone Cold Justice has sparked an international outcry about Israel's
treatment of children in Israeli jails. However, rights groups have
criticized Tel Aviv for not doing anything to create a policy that protects
Palestinian children against arbitrary arrest and torture.
