Prayers for
Peacemakers February 19, 2014

Pray for the Palestinian children imprisoned in Israeli
jails. Pray that the Israeli
government begins applying international law to the treatment of Palestinian
minors in custody, and begins applying the same law to Israeli settler
minors.

See video “Stolen children, stolen lives,” much of it filmed while mediator Gerry O’ Sullivan was working with CPT’s Hebron Team. The picture below accompanies a 14 February Al-Khalil/Hebron team release, “Israeli soldiers arrest 15-year-old boy.“
