Lie of the day: "A large number of Palestinian children spend their childhood inside Israeli prisons"

I just found this video put out by the "Government of Palestine" for World Children's Day 2017 in English. Only a a couple dozen people watched it, but it shows how easily they lie.

A central point was this one:

Really?

At this moment, according to B'Tselem, there are 203 minors in Israeli prisons. 80% are over 16, none are under 14. Some more might be in IDF detention, but certainly less than 250 total.

The chances that a Palestinian minor from the West Bank  is in Israeli custody right now is about 1 in 10,000.

The chances that an American minor is in detention (prison or juvenile detention) is about 1 in 1500. The chances that an American minor is in adult prison is 1 in 7500.

Canadian rates are comparable.

A Palestinian minor has a much lower chance of being in Israeli custody than an American or Canadian minor being in custody in those countries.

The Palestinian video went on to accuse Israel of torturing the children, an equally false accusation.

The obvious audience for this failed video is the English speaking world - NGOs, the UN and other Westerners, most of whom would not believe that a government that they want so desperately to succeed would lie so blatantly.
