Video: Anti-Israel B'Tselem's Latest Distortion of Five Year Old Palestinian Rock Thrower Refuted (Updated)

Pro-Palestinian B'Tselem thinks throwing rocks is no big deal:
B'Tselem has written urgently to the Legal Adviser in Judea and Samaria, demanding his response to a grave incident in which soldiers detained a five-year-old boy in Hebron for two hours, after he threw a stone. The soldiers threatened the child and his parents, handcuffed and blindfolded the father, and handed the boy over to the Palestinian Police. Detaining a child below the age of criminal responsibility, especially one so young, has no legal justification.
Detaining a child who throws rocks at car driving by has no justification?

B'Tselem Acknowledges Inability to Assess Palestinian Allegations

Condemnation of IDF in Press Release
Not Supported by Accompanying Report

On May 9, 2013, the Israeli organization B'Tselem issued a 30-page report headlined "Human Rights Violations during Operation Pillar of Defense 14-21 November 2012." This publication immediately received widespread coverage in the Israeli media, apparently based largely on an accompanying press release.

However, the claims in the press release are inconsistent with the actual report, creating false perceptions in the media reports.
