The Information center of "Wadi Helwa" revealed on Tuesday, that a Jerusalemite young girl was subjected to a racist attack last Thursday in the town of Silwan in Jerusalem.

The center stated that the girl, Arin Demeiri, was battered and humiliated by Israeli students at a religious school in that region where they filmed the assault in total systemic racism practiced against Palestinians.

The center quoted the girl's mother as saying that her daughter is in very bad psychological state due to the brutal attack she had faced.

In the same context, a Palestinian young man, Mohammed Maali,19, from the town Ojja south of Jenin, was seriously injured and was evacuated to Tel Hishmeur hospital in the city of Jaffa in 48-occupied territory after he was attacked by extremist Jewish settlers while on his way to work.

The General Federation of Trade Unions in Jenin denounced this brutal attack and said, in a statement, that the settlers took turns in beating and cursing him for a long time till he was transferred to Tel Hishmeur hospital in Jaffa then to Jenin hospital.

The statement pointed out that police officers, dressed as doctors, attended the Israeli hospital and interrogated him for a long time about the attack's circumstances, and then asked him to sign a paper written in Hebrew but he refused.

The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, B'Tselem, has published, on Monday, a video showing Israeli border policeman kicking Palestinian child, Abd Al Rahman Burgan, 9, near the Ibrahimi Mosque in Al-Khalil in the southern West Bank.
