Family of Tarek Abu Khdeir calls for his immediate release after brutal beating and arbitrary arrest

Video of Tarek Abu Khdeir being attacked by Israeli police from Channel 4.

Yesterday Annie posted on Tarek Abu Khdeir, a 15-year-old Palestinian-American from Tampa, Florida who is currently being held without charge by Israeli authorities. Here is more information about his case that was released by his family:

Following the abduction and murder of 16-year-old Mohammad Abu Khdeir in Jerusalem, his cousin, 15-year-old Tarek Abu Khdeir, a Palestinian-American child in Jerusalem on holiday from Tampa, Florida is in Israeli detention after being beaten by two undercover Israeli police agents last night.

Despite needing critical medical attention for severe injuries to his head and face, the Israeli authorities denied medical treatment for 5 hours before he was transferred to Hadassa Hospital. He was then taken directly to court and is currently in detention at the notorious Russian Compound (al-Maskobiya), known for its harsh interrogations.

His father, Salah Abu Khdeir, asked that his son be seen at a hospital of the family’s choosing, but was denied, and was subsequently denied having an Arab doctor present during Tarek’s treatment. Although his son was unconscious, he was chained to the bed. While in the hospital, his face had swollen to a degree to which he could not speak when conscious and blood was also found in his urine, concerning family that there could be internal bleeding.

He has not yet been formally charged, though prosecutors claim he was throwing stones despite being unable to provide any evidence to the court.  When asked by the court under what basis Tarek was being held, prosecutors said they were still “collecting evidence.”  His hearing is scheduled for Sunday.

Tarek is in dire need of medical attention and his family is calling for his immediate release after this brutal beating and arbitrary arrest.

    My local congressperson, Barbara Lee, supports “robust military aid” to Israel (according to J Street PAC, from where she is getting sizable campaign donations to spend on unspecified “expenses”). She also, without intended irony, calls herself a “renegade for peace and justice”. The truth is that this military aid is being used to injure Americans. While Barbara Lee is certainly not alone, indeed here, she is a “complete conformist for war and oppression”, i wonder if Lee or any other congressperson will say anything about this treatment of an American citizen.

      Disgusting liars. Every video that has surfaced showing their numerous crimes against unarmed civilians is always dismissed as doctored. Didn’t we see the same pattern when the two kids were killed during the Nakba anniversary, and their dishonest ambassador Oren, lied and pretended they may have even been alive at that stage. I have never seen such prevaricators in my life. From the top to the sewers, it is in their psyche to blatantly lie, even when there is strong evidence that show they are.

        Yes, the word ‘projection’ comes to mind. The ‘you do what we do’ ploy. I listened to BBC World News today [my wife actually, but I happened to be in her room] and the story went on about twitter/social networking/etc. and how some pictures had been uploaded/shown that turned out to be fakes [about what goes on in the ME/Palestine]. The BBC twat coldly proclaimed that ‘you have to bring the truth to the table -or something along that line7 and when another guest mentioned the IDF facebook pages, she countered halfway the sentence ‘Yeah, but those pages have now been removed!”

        If I didn’t know any better I think she might have been wearing one of those special ‘earpieces’…

Meanwhile, Jeffrey Goldberg served in the IDF as a prison guard during the first intifada, Rahm Emmanuel was a civilian volunteer assisting the IDForces during the 1991 Gulf War, and on and on.

        It use to be intent to give up US citizenship was implied by various activities such as service in a foreign army or voting in a foreign election. SCOTUS changed the litmus test to be one of intent–in the mid-1960s if memory serves; hence, with the exception of a few activities such as service in a foreign diplomatic corps or as an officer of a certain grade in a foreign military, an American must declare his or her intent to give up US citizenship to achieve such status.

        My point is that the boy’s status as an American citizen may give him status to take action in an American court, and the court’s ruling could have some meaning if any of the soldiers beating him is also an American. (I know a lot of Americans do the Birthright thing and then take some time off to live in Israel and run around Palestinian villages in body armor-until they come home to America and settle down. )I think that there is some law that makes it illegal to harm an American anywhere in the world. Even if the U.S. government doesn’t prosecute anyone under that law, the kid’s family should be able to sue any American involved and collect damages-I mean, in reality if there was a Birthright alum involved, both he and the boy would essentially be Americans on vacation. If these same two Americans were on a cruise and one pushed another overboard, I would think the family of the victim should be able to sue. So why not in this case?

        Besides winning damages, which admittedly is unlikely, a trial would give publicity to the Palestinian cause-and Israel would be on trial for once. Sometimes trials capture the public interest- like O.J.-if it deals with important issues, is easy to understand, and has a lot of strong personalities. I’m just saying I hope the Abu Khedeirs are considering it.

        Interesting, joer. Walid mentioned that the Klinghoffer family sued and settled with the PLO. Whatever mechanism allowed them to do that might be available in Tariq’s case. The question of state actors doing the beating may fold into that though.

        I hope the Abu Khdeir family finds a way.

        ritzl, in the eyes of the American justice sytem, the situation with the Abu Khdeir family is much different from the Klinghoffer’s as the injured party is American but of Palestinian roots and the claim would have to be against the State of Israel, which in the USA is a non-starter. For the Klinghoffers, the case was accepted by the U.S. District Court in Manhattan. For the Corrie’s, the American courts dismissed their case against Israel because it was deemed more political in nature than legal. You also have other cases of Americans getting killed or injured in Israel like Emily Henochowicz, Tom Hurndall, Tristan Anderson and others but these cases involving Israel are never accepted by the US justice system. In the case of Klinghoffer, the crime happened on an Italian ship off Egypt’s coast but it was nonetheless accepted by the Disctrict Court in Manhattan. Another US court ruled against Iran for the Buenos Aires bombing which had all the markings of an Israeli false flag operation.

        The Abu Khdeir family has a zero chance of being heard in an American court.

        Walid:
        I don’t know if any of the Israeli soldiers involved in the beating have dual U.S./Israeli citizenship, but if they did, could they be sued as an individual? If two Americans are overseas and one beats another senseless, it seems like the victim should have some recourse when they get home. I don’t know what the law is-but a trial like this would help educate the public plus it would help the Abu Khdeirs with what is sure to be a very expensive physical and emotional recovery.

    As to wounding Ben Wedeman– truly a crime as it always is when any journalist is targeted. It is indeed a stupid and grievous ‘mistake’ by the IOF.

    This could well be the moment when Americans get the truth about the ‘ally’ that always gets a free pass. Hopefully. When any human hears about burning a youth alive, it raises hackles and disgust. This was terrorism– terrorism incited by some Israeli ‘leaders’.

If someone is floating stupid scenarios on the other side of the divide, you ignore that fact and talk as logically and as sensibly as possible. Or so I think. This “for all we know, they could still be alive right?” is not necessary or helpful if you are a man of truth with truth on your side.

    Arbitrary arrest? When they’ve edited out all the footage from before the police had him in custody, how can you credibly make this claim? Likewise doubtful that the pics ‘from the hospital’ are him and/or related to this incident. There is no way they are going to take a prisoner to the hospital under those circumstances and let him sit unrestrained among others while his photograph was taken.

    The story includes interviews with Tariq’s parents in Florida and a representative of Human Rights Watch. Video of the beating shown. Ben Wedeman shows the spot were Tariq’s blood is still visible on the ground. There is a link to the story of the murder of his cousin Mohammed.
    Tariq’s ‘trial’ should be starting about 2 1/2 hours from now. Wonder if there will ever be any trials of the border police who beat him.

      At a guess the worst thing that will happen to the thugs that beat him will be a reduction in rank for exposing Israeli actions to the world and embarrassing its leaders.

      You are dealing with people who deny every wrong doing no matter how much evidence there is against them there is little to no chance anything will come of this investigation and for once I think the State Department also know this which is why they inserted the word “credible” into their request for an investigation.

      It is indeed Kate. I was surprised to see this as the top story this morning. This time Israel’s terrorists in masks, picked the wrong kid. If they knew he was American, and it could backfire on them, they would have picked a poor Palestinian kid, with no voice, who would not have had this support and concern from the US, and this story would never have made headlines. Americans can now see Israel’s brutality and hypocrisy, and this may open their eyes to the real situation finally. Bibi may have thumped his chest and called Palestinians “human animals”, but it seems after the disgusting murder of Tariq’s cousin, Bibi has realized that the human animals on his side have been exposed and that Americans are finally able to get the truth, that has been hidden from them by the US media. Israel looks bad now.
      CNN is just reporting Tariq has been released and is under house arrest for a while.
      Tariq is lucky his parents brought attention to this as Americans, there are thousands of Palestinian kids with no voice. I am glad Tariq is getting the help he needs and will physically heal from this horrible ordeal.

      The US State Department calls their crimes “terroristic activities”, therefore calling them terrorists are quite appropriate. From the Israeli side, every kid who throws stones, every Palestinian arrested, are all terrorists, and they call little Palestinian kids “terrorists” too.

      Mairav Zonszein notices the ‘dissonance’ as well:

      “Six suspects identified as “Jewish extremists” were arrested in connection to the heinous murder of Muhammad Abu Khdeir, police revealed as details began emerging about the investigation Sunday morning. All details about the investigation have been kept under gag order since the 16 year old was kidnapped and burned alive, an incident that sparked clashes and riots in Shuafat that spread to other parts of Israel in recent days.

      It is important to point out that following the kidnapping/murder of the three Israeli teenagers on June 12, headlines in Israeli media and statements from the government quickly deemed it a “terror” attack perpetrated by ”terrorists” backed by the “terrorist” organization Hamas – before any evidence was shown or any suspects arrested. However, in the case of Abu Khdeir’s murder, the suspects are, at worst, “Jewish extremists” or from the “far-right.”

      While the Abu Khdeir family claimed from the very beginning that this was an act committed by Jewish Israelis because their son was Palestinian, rumors spread (many believe by the Israel Police itself) that this was an inter-family honor killing, possibly because the victim was gay. However, that baseless claim was completely ruled out Sunday.”

        Nothing tells you more than Bibi’s swift declaration that the 3 Jews who were murdered was caused by HAMAS–in the face of HAMAS saying it had nothing to do with it, when normally their profile is to proclaim responsibility. In contrast, the Israeli spoke people immediately declared that it’s questionable whether or not the murderers of the Palestine kid were motivated by private obsessions or nationalistic obsession.

    No mention of Hamas :

    “HEBRON (Ma’an) – Israeli forces stormed the Qarn al-Thour neighborhood in Hebron in the southern West Bank after midnight Sunday and detained a young Palestinian man in connection with the kidnapping and killing of three Israeli teenagers weeks earlier.

    Family members and Palestinian security sources confirmed that Israeli troops detained Husam Dufish from his home. The Israeli intelligence accuses Dufish of involvement in the killing of the three teens along with Amir Abu Eisha and Marwan al-Qawasmi. ”
