In this video, Israeli forces can be seen brutalizing and arresting a 14-year-old boy.
Ahmad Tibi, a Palestinian member of the Israeli parliament, can be heard shouting in Hebrew, “He’s a boy, you should be ashamed,” as he tries to intervene.
The attack on the child came as thousands of people protested on 30 November, in a “day of rage” against the Prawer Plan.
This is a scheme currently making its way through the Israeli parliament to force tens of thousands of Bedouins, who are nominally citizens of Israel, off their land in the Naqab (Negev).
Israel plans to raze dozens of Bedouin “unrecognized villages” – which are denied state services – and replace them with Jewish settlements.
The Prawer Plan is a “calculated and premeditated plan to sever the historical ties that bind Bedouin Palestinian communities to their land,” the Palestinian Boycott National Committee (BNC) said in a statement offering support for the protests.
It “reveals once again the colonial nature of Zionism and the apartheid character of the Israeli state,” the BNC added, urging an escalation of global civil society campaigns to pressure Israel to end its violations of Palestinian rights.
Yet despite the protests, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Shimon Peres have vowed that the forced removals will proceed.
