ISRAEL TORTURING PALESTINIANS

Torture: Read it in the Israeli press
Miko Peled, The Electronic Intifada, 4 April 2007

Thanks to the Israeli press, people in Israel are informed regularly about their government's mistreatment of the 4.5 million Palestinians under their rule. Most of the information regarding the occupation of Palestine and the oppression of its people is well documented and accurately reported in the Israeli press. But even the most serious offenses are given a "kosher" stamp, so to speak, once the word "security" is attached to them.

There are ample examples of this, but few are as striking as the one provided in the March 23rd issue of the Israeli daily Yediot Aharonot. In this issue, there is an interview with the retired Chief Interrogator of the Shabak, Israel's internal secret security service, 79-year-old Arieh Hadar. Mr. Hadar admits to acts taken by the Israeli internal secret security service that have never before been revealed publicly.

But as the interview continues, Mr. Hadar also touches on the issue of torture as part of the interrogation process. He mentions cases of interrogations where his agents lied in court about getting confessions through torture. "Since the suspects were Arabs the judges would always take our word over theirs" he says and continues to say that he found "Arabs were often glad to be slapped a few times" because it gave them an excuse to turn against their people and collaborate with the interrogators. He typically refrains from using the "P" word and refers to Palestinians only as Arabs or as terrorists.

Must give the Israel Occupation Force a much needed break from shooting children in the head.

Actually iam quite surprised

Actually iam quite surprised to know ,Jews are engaged in torturing other humans,given the fact that once a upon a time ( Second world war) ,they were victims of torture.

How secure ,are people if they torture others?what kind of example or way of behaviour one is setting.One act leads to justifying another.

There are many objectives and means to acheive it,if torture is considered "a means to acheive certain objective' i think humans are most dumb creation ever made.It is an insult to our intelligence and wisdom,because,it means the only way to achieve a given set of objectives is by inflicting pain and suffering ,whether it is
your worse enemy or an animal,it refects eventually on WHO WE ARE,and Whether we are what we are even when pushed to the worse of situation.

in order words ,human civilisation has not learnt anything from history.

No matter how much one hates another human beings for whatever reason,there is always a divine power greater than any person,and one should allow that power to work rather than our own desire to taking revenge and then peace comes.However if one solely depends on our own human thinking,one will realise,it is insufficient to solve an issue
because we narrow our objectives rather than see what fits for the wellbeing of the entire universe.
