1. Torture?
The Raccoon   (05.30.07)
These psychotic leftist scum have no idea what torture IS. I say let them spend a day or two at the hands of their beloved Hamas... when they'll return without skin, eyes and fingernails... they'll be entitled to assault Shin Beit for "torture". Scum.
2. Torture
Dan   (05.30.07)
There is nothing wrong with a bit of torture if it helps stop a terrorist attacks.
3. Shame on you ynet!!!
Jew ,   Israel   (05.30.07)
While families are being destroyed in Sderot, you are worried with about the murderers rights. Even a fool knows you cant fight one who brakes all the rules by keeping the rules. Maybe we should go door to door trying to arrest terrorists in Gaza. We are at WAR!!!
4. OH PLEASE!!
Avishai   (05.30.07)
I think they should be called "The Terrorist Rights Movement"...... I prefer that terrorists who try to destroy our country and kill us all be "tortured" (so what, don't they torture our soldiers?!) rather than let them kill my countrymen. This is what they deserve for their crimes!!
5. Words of wisdom
Concerned Israeli   (05.30.07)
Don't get caught while trying to blow up a bus and you won't get tortured.
6. Just Resonable Force only : - ) now legally
ben ,   singapore   (05.30.07)
Permitted : - ) Thank you .
7. And terrorist attacks aren't a form of torture?
BigE ,   Israel   (05.30.07)
Just ask a survivor who must cope with his/her daily agony.
8. Torture? All know what it is
M ,   Gaza   (05.30.07)
This is so typical; people who oppose certain policies, regardless their powerful moral content, are 'lftists', anti-semites' or self-hating Jews. I think this is pathetic and too weak. Torture means, to answer a question, applying pressure on an indvidual by a state agent. Persiod. If practised by Hamas, Jordan, or the US, this does not make it any rightous. It is wrong and immoral. Israel is enjoys the previlige of being the only state to legalize torture (does not mean to use it of course) against the very law of the 'civilized nations'. If your politics absorb this, OK. But don't sell us self-righteous positions trying to claim it can be legal or moral; just accept you accept illegal and immoral practices.
9. Nothing wrong with torture...
Elisheba ,   USA   (05.30.07)
...as long as it saves Jewish lives.
10. Torture victims!?
Joseph ,   Petach-Tikva, Israel   (05.30.07)
Are they tortured for handung out candies to kids? What values can we talk about when dealing with beasts (or even worse than beasts)?
11. What a stupid leftie one sided article
freejay ,   Israel   (05.30.07)
The problem is that muslims think that if everyone doesnt convert to Islam they are being tortured. This article stinks of propaganda with no basis for facts. Not one example was given and not one mention of arab forms of torture. YNet shpould be ashamed of themselves for publishing such crap.
12. WE SUPPORT TORTURE AGAINST PALESTINIANS

israeli ,   israel   (05.30.07)
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0524072torture1.html "nine Palestinian detainees were tortured by physicians and medical staff members in hospitals, Shin Bet interrogators, military judges and advocates, prison wardens, police officers and even senior Justice Ministry officials. " Tortured by medical staff and even senior Justice Ministry officials? Were any pigs flying around at the same time?

You are a Good Prince of Israel. I know your love for Israel, this I will say loud and clear but I tell you , these Gaza Terrorist asked for it- so the IDF should give them what they deserve most.They asked for it, in fact the gaza Terrorist has been dragging the PA's Civilians into the streets.And there are a number of civilians who from time to time merge with the Gaza Terrorist do terror and pretend to talk like goody goody person in this Ynet Itself. I can see. We have been around for some time here already. Atilla Liman, Currently Listening to OU Radio : - )) Cheers Man : - ) Today I am going to have two jugs of beer, Cheers to you my freind King Atilla, Cheers baby : - )
17. Shabaks big mistake
mike ,   Jerusalem   (05.30.07)
The Shabak has made a big mistake here. What they need t learn is 2 things: #1 dead men tell no tales #2 dead men can't be used as tardes for kidnapped soldiers. If they started the job they need to finish it. These bloody murderers not only tortured their victims they killed them too. image the agony of being blown up in a bus or a restarant! Imagine the agony of the victims family! This isn't torture? If you can't do the time don't do the crime, you torture a jew expect to be tortured in return. Bunch of wimpy cry babies. The Shabak had better learn that if they do this not to let anyone out to talk about it.
18. double standard
Ben ,   Jerusalem   (05.30.07)
These arabs should soul search before crying foul! What did they do when they lynched our soldiers in ramallah? what their hero Sadaaam Hussein did to his prisoners wasn't torture? maybe what we call torture they don't call torture. More power to the Shabak, perhaps we should get a reputation that any terrorist caught by us will be treated to Abu Greib standards. this will put fear in their hearts!
19. I AM A DREAM AND YOU ARE ALL IN SLEEP
Atilla karagözoğlu ,   King of ISRAEL   (05.30.07)
you dont even know who I am ? Lets say who am I :) dont smile, please ! THERE IS BIG DIFFERENCE between who I am and who am I !!! *** :))) okey I am Atilla Liman Karagözoğlu your Brother and Your King do you get my points ? or I am killing my time ? :) I love you. damn I spent all my time here. why ?
20. To Elisheba
M ,   Gaza   (05.30.07)
Your comment is the most honest so far among the opponents of PACTI's (and actually international law's) views. Your courage is admired. However, why not consider other ways to save even more Jewish life, a way that saves even more lives, and one that does not limit itself to a single-eyed security threshold? End the occupation; that's it. Israel has the fighnest offer now, one that offers peace for a long time and would allow for secuirt and prosperity. But don't think the greedy apprach of Olmert, or even baraks, will bring this. It simply won't because it does not support the recipe's main ingredient; that is a cent of justice. If not, then Israel may want to go ahead with land and resource theft, denial of others human rights and repression. Well, if so, torture is one inevitable component of the policy, but will never be MORAL (if there can be agreement on what is 'moral' and 'right' beyond the religous ID).
21. #14, you are right
Rachel   (05.30.07)
This isn't journalism. Who is writng this garbage?
22. Atilla
(05.30.07)
do you know AA? it stands for "Anonymous Alcoholics"... you should either stop drinking, or visit one of these groups and talk openly about your alcohol problems.
23. Torture
charles ,   petach tikva   (05.30.07)
This comittee do'nt lives on earth , they are dreaming . They still think : tout le monde il est beau , tout le monde il est gentil [ everyone is a nice and fine guy ] If the shabak can prevent , even one lightly injured Israeli , by using those "methods" , they have to do it . Another French saying : les chiens aboient , la caravane passe . The dogs are barking , the caravan goes ahead . Let this comittee bark , the Shabak will continue to carry out his job : preventing terror , and this by all ways and methods
24. More BS From Peace-Jerks.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (05.30.07)
I suppose it's ethical to kill Jews. Any means necessary to stop the murder of innocent civilians is ethical. It is UN-ETHICAL not to prevent murder. This is the highest moral obligation of the state - to stop terrorists from murdering innocents. Whatever it takes .....
25. Arrest that so called HUMAN RIGHTS group...first !
ben ,   singapore   (05.30.07)
Deport Them or if they are local ARREST them- Administrative Detention ! Not in Israel. thay can bag out their double standard human rights ! DEPORT !
26. what about the muderer of the Pals driver
sabra   (05.30.07)
are the comment abouve available for all ( terrorists ) murderers or just aplicable for goys only . ? how you dare to compare the behavior of a very very civilised state like Israel to what terrorists do ??? iven if this israely lives in the fathers house of the terrorist with the benediction of the international comunity of corse
27. torture is wrong but...
Igor D. ,   new york   (05.30.07)
but so is shelling civilian areas with rockets and as long as terror continues, Israel must do everything possible to prevent it. palestinian future is in their own hands. Besides, how many reports does PA publish identifying suicide bombing as illegitimate
28. The horrible, horrible tortures
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (05.30.07)
Victoria's secret underpanties on the head! Playing the Andrews sisters "Hava Nagila" over and over! Chocolate shmear for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Oy the humanity.
29. TORTURE SHOULD ACT AS DETERENT, DON'T BE A TERRORIST
david ,   usa   (05.30.07)
IF THEY DON'T PARTICIPATE IN TERROR, THEY WON'T GET TORTURED, CONTINUE TO TERRORIZE JEWS, THEY CAN CONSIDER THEMSELVES MARKED
30. Of course torture is permitted
Ouch ,   Here   (05.30.07)
The government does it to us continuously just by being there
