"Just Boys"

No surprise here as the Arabs question why Israel has arrested these "boys": "'I have very serious doubts about the Israeli claims,' he said. 'We said we wanted to help because we also want to know the truth and want to see the one responsible for the killing punished. They refused, and they carried out their own secret investigation. In the end, they came up with this story about the two boys. These two are just boys, and they must have come under tremendous pressure and torture during interrogation that forced them to confess to something they have not done.'" I hate the "they're only just boys" defense anyway -- it's used in our own country all the time -- but to attack Israel for even this slaughter is more despicable than usual.
