The uncertain life for Palestinian detainees - 29 May 08

About 11,000 Palestinians are being held by Israel, many of whom have never been charged.

They are know as "administrative detainees", arrested because Israel deems them a threat to state security.

They and their families do not know when or if they will ever see their loved ones again.

Nour Odeh has the story.

and then they wonder what leads kids to become terrorists....it's seeing the powerless and unjust surroundings that they are in.

[hatimali04]

israel is the most oppressive nations in the world. a people so cruel can only be in power for so long--it won't be any longer before the world sees the genocidal actions taken by the israelis against the palistinian people.

if you dont believe what i am saying most of the 9/11 commision report in regards to saudi is still to this day classified !!!

[minted5555]

the truth is right infront of u said 15 of the 19 were saudis and the country that got invaded for 9/11 was Iraq !!! can it be said that the saudi government along with the bush administration set it up to were saudis would do the dirty work blame it on osama and bush would later link saddam to bin laden thus the war in iraq !!! i mean the saudis always had a grudge with iraq since the first gulf war and all the smack !!! the saudi king is a smart man !!! two birds with one stone !!!

97% of WB + Gaza(increased in size by 1/3) with no cantons and a land corridor connecting the two, Arab neibourhoods of East Jerusalem as a capital, ARAB SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE TEMPLE MOUNT(the holiest Jewish site), all Jews expelled from 63 settlements, unlimited "right of return" for so-called Palestinians (remember, 99% of them have never even been to Palestine!) and $35 billion. That's what you bastards were offered and you said NO!

A fatuous arguement at best. The hijackers may have come from Saudi Arabian ORIGINALLY, but to act out their jihadist fantasies they had to LEAVE SAUDI ARABIA and go to Afghanistan. You see, Saudi Arabia as you said is pro American and clamps down on extremists quite hard. You may want to look up the name Osama Bin Laden...and ask why he has never been back to Saudi in 30 years.

Israel is not a terrorist country, but this is unacceptable.
