See "Child Recruitment in Israel"
This joint investigation by ABC's Four Corners and The Australian newspaper uncovers shocking claims of the systematic targeting and abuse of Palestinian children in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. For over 40 years, Israel has controlled the territory, but reports from organizations like UNICEF suggest a brutal reality for the youngest residents.
The documentary investigates allegations that hundreds of children are taken from their homes in late-night military raids, blindfolded, and interrogated under threat of violence, solitary confinement, and sexual assault to extract confessions—most commonly for throwing stones. We explore a dual legal system where a Palestinian child is tried in a military court with a 99.74% conviction rate, while an Israeli child from a nearby settlement is processed through a modern juvenile justice system.
Featuring powerful testimonies from former Israeli soldiers, human rights lawyers, and the children themselves, this film examines a system that critics call an effective tool of occupation, designed to instill fear and gather intelligence, ultimately creating a new generation of hatred.
