Community | Palestinian Children Are The Child Soldiers No One Is Talking About | The Forward

For a month, Israel-focused media and NGOs have been fixated on the case of Ahed Tamimi, a Palestinian teen whose family scripts physical confrontations with Israeli soldiers. The resulting videos are distributed as either heroic resistance, in the Palestinian version, or cheap media manipulation to demonize Israel. In an awkward attempt to respond to this version of “Pallywood,” the police arrested the teenage Tamimi and she is now facing charges related to the assault and to alleged calls for suicide attacks.
