Israeli Police Beat 15-year-old Palestinian-American Cousin of Teen Murdered on Wednesday
IMEMC | July 4, 2014
A Palestinian teenager identified by local sources as the cousin of the 16-year-old who was murdered on Wednesday was beaten and abducted by Israeli police on Thursday, and was refused medical treatment for his broken nose and other injuries while in custody.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has reported that over 170 Palestinians have been injured since Monday, when the bodies of three Israeli teenagers who had gone missing two weeks earlier were found.
15-year old Tariq was allegedly participating in one of several protests that took place in Shu’fat and nearby areas after Muhammad Abu Khdeir, 16, was abducted by Israelis, according to eyewitnesses, and later found burned to death on Wednesday.
Hundreds of Palestinians took part in the protests, which were met with tear gas, rubber-coated steel bullets and concussion grenades. At least three incidents have been reported of Israeli police and military using live ammunition against the demonstrators. Of the 170 injured since Monday, at least six are journalists.
Since his death Wednesday, the family of Muhammed Abu Khdeir has faced interrogations, DNA tests and a misinformation campaign started by the Israeli police to claim, based on no evidence, that the boy was killed in a family dispute — in addition to the Israeli police refusing to look at surveillance video showing the assailants, which would normally be a major part of an investigation.
The attack on the 15-year-old appears to be the latest affront to a family that is mourning the brutal death of a child. Tariq is a Palestinian-American who was staying with family in Jerusalem when he was beaten and abducted by Israeli police. The full extent of his injuries are still unknown.

Conspiracy Denial
Lies are Unbekoming | January 27, 2026
In honour of Michael Parenti (1933–2026), who passed away on 24 January 2026 at the age of 92. He spent his life naming what power prefers to leave unnamed.
In 1837, Abraham Lincoln remarked: “These capitalists generally act harmoniously, and in concert, to fleece the people.”
Today, he would be dismissed as a conspiracy theorist.
That dismissal—reflexive, automatic, requiring no engagement with evidence—is not a mark of sophistication. It is a tell. The question worth asking is not whether conspiracies exist (they are a matter of public record and a recognised concept in law) but why acknowledging their existence provokes such reliable hostility. What work does the label “conspiracy theorist” actually do?
The late political scientist Michael Parenti spent decades answering that question. His conclusion was blunt: “’Conspiracy’ refers to something more than just illegal acts. It serves as a dismissive label applied to any acknowledgment of ruling-class power, both its legal and illegal operations.” The term functions not as a descriptor but as a weapon—a thought-terminating cliché that protects the powerful from scrutiny by pathologising those who scrutinise them.
Conspiracy denial, in Parenti’s analysis, is not skepticism. It is the opposite of skepticism. It is credulity toward power dressed up as critical thinking. As he wrote in Dirty Truths: “Just because some people have fantasies of conspiracies does not mean all conspiracies are imaginary.” … continue

Aletho News 
Interrogation for 4 hours of the grieving father of Mohamed…the insults to their family to blame the victims of this horrific brutal murder, to withhold Mohamed’s body from the family under the guise of DNA/autopsy report….to require his mother to provide DNA samples whilst she grieves for her son…to accuse them of having him killed to cover their own accommodations of the psychopathic settler murderers….but then to seize 15 y o cousin Tariq visiting from America…….beating him, refusing him medical care and extending his detention…..it tells us that these nazipolizei have lost whatever psychological balance they “might” have once had…..they are now accomplices to murder IMO.

Are they Jews or Zionist or Semites? Real Jews won’t beat a little kid like that. These guys are always blood thirsty. What mass of stone would a 15year old hail at a police officer to demand that quantum of beating? Why won’t them meet their matches like me and other real men?
Whatever, Adolf Hitler did to you guys was not done by Palestinians. The question is what did you do that the Nazis did what they did? Isn’t it evident by your character and continuous practice of apartheid system in Palestine?
Remember, these brutalities won’t be tolerated forever, the world will rise against it and if you’re not lucky the outcome for Israel might not be good.
Are you following developments at your door steps by ISIS now IS? Russian or soviet trained soldiers leading events in the region. You know Russian trains are no little soldiers but warriors. More Georgian or European military Moslems means trouble for Israel.
Making peace with Palestine and the cessation of the theft of their land, books, culture and values is the last opportunity for Israel’s existence.
Military power won’t grant the State of Israel peace but an unconditional peace with Palestine will do that.
Stop regarding other people of the world as “Goin”goat, gentiles, monkeys and whatever derogatory names you guys have. You’re no better than any other human being.
You pupu
You pee
You eat and drink just like any other human being.
To conclude, I do not in any terms agree with the abduction and killing of the three Israeli teenagers neither do I support the killing of Khdeir.
Let me also say that Israel has no police service but a gang of rogues in uniform.
