Late last night, Israeli forces shot and killed sixteen year old Amjad Abu Sultan during a raid in Beir Ouneh, a town located between Beit Jala and Jerusalem. They also arrested a fourteen year old boy, Mohammed al Arouj, during the raid. 
The children were targeted by Israeli soldiers because they were accused of throwing Molotov cocktails at Israeli military vehicles. The fact that the mere accusation of these children committing this act was enough to arrest one and essentially execute the other in his home
is an clear illustration of the way Israeli military rule works in the West Bank. Even being accused of violence is enough for a literal child to be killed. Imagine the impact this killing will have on every other child in Amjad’s neighborhood.
This is why we say we need decolonization NOW. We don’t have time for our allies to continue “educating” through endless protests and tours to the land that tell us about “both sides.” Palestinian children are being killed and arrested daily. Enough is enough.
