Israel has detained 15-year-old American boy for 26 days; US is ‘gravely concerned’

QUESTION: Yes. One, I asked on Friday about this 15-year-old Palestinian-American kid who’s been held. Do you have any update on him?

Jen PSAKI: I do. Let me just find that in here, Matt. We can confirm that Mohamed Abu Nie, a U.S. citizen, was arrested on July 3rd during protests in the Shuafat neighborhood in East Jerusalem. The U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv is providing consular assistance. A consular official assisted him on July 17th – visited him, I should say – and attended his hearing on July 22nd. The Embassy’s also in contact with his family and his lawyer. Considering his age, we are calling for a speedy resolution to this case. He is now – this 15-year-old has now been held for three weeks in Israeli custody and has seen his parents only once briefly during that night, and so we are certainly gravely concerned about the detention of an American citizen child.

QUESTION: Seen only once by that – the night that he was arrested, is that what you’re saying?

MS. PSAKI: I would have to check on exactly when his parents saw him, Matt.

Ms. Psaki also goes on to say that there has been a possibility that this American has been beaten. Perhaps if this was a Family member of Ms. Psaki being allegedly beaten she would be a little more than just ‘gravely concerned.’

2. I take it you're going to post everything mondoweiss puts out?

Weren't you just complaining about someone spamming the board? They weren't btw.

3. Oh, I don't post everything, and I don't also post the same story over and over.

Hope I cleared that up for you.

4. Isn't what you're doing a variant of the ad hominem fallacy?

You attack the source but offer no real counter to what it says.

5. He even called me an Asshole for posting about antiSemitic incidents .

And he tries to minimize the blatant Jew hatred .

What motivates that ?
