There are not enough facts here to make any sort of judgement. One doe not even know why he was imprisoned. However the question I would like to ask is why is an Australian national with a comfortable life thousands of miles away in Australia so self deluded as to involve himself with a foreign nations secret service?

and living under a different identity? Layers upon layers of deflecting attention. No one will look for him now. And if I was his family I think I'd be raising a bit of a ruckus about it, but they are not. hmmmmm

Speculation.Assumptions.Fame seeking journalists.

So you believe that it is acceptable for the government of Israel to incarcerate an Israeli citizen without trial, without contact with his family, without recourse to a lawyer, in a cell that the Israeli courts deemed to be illegal until he dies? If a person has broken the law there are systems in place if the consequent court case needs to be heard in secret. It is not in the interest of Israel to allow politicians to incarcerate someone and hide his identity so even those tasked with ensuring his incarceration don't even know his name Is this the Israel we want? Is this the Israel our ancestors died for?

#30. Your message sent chills down my spine. It's exactly what I wanted to say. Why the secrecy? Why hasn't his family contacted the media? Why hasn't someone close to him come forward? Maybe they will now...but why not yet? Something is not right here...but I find it hard to blame Israel. I mean, Israel sends agents around the globe to assassinate people who threaten to kill the Jewish people. Israel rescues its people when they are being held hostage. It seeks revenge for the blood of its people. Why would it randomly pick out one of its own agents, send him to prison and keep it secret? Something big, and bad, happened here. Something went wrong. I am not blaming Ben, but something is not right. Israel just didn't decide to kill him for no or little reason. Something happened! Something deep! Israel wouldn't do this to an innocent Jew. His family is quiet. Israel is quiet. Friends quiet. No one is saying anything yet? Why? One last thing, don't take everything the ABC says as truth.

If the Mossad wanted someone to disappear, they'd have found a better way. There are odd members of the Saudi royal family being held in Guantanamo, by the way, and I don't know how long it took before the Saudis were informed .... but I DO know that these princelings remain in Guantanamo. By the way, not all prisoners in Guantanamo have access to attorneys. In point of fact, most do not. As in Israel, persons classed as enemy combatants or aiders and abettors of terrorism do not enjoy the same civil rights as the majority of Americans. But your fears are groundless. Did you not once announce proudly that you "burned" your U.K. passport? So much for your imaginary dual problem. By the way ..... where did you perform your military or national service? If you didn't do either (as everyone now knows quite well) just come out and say so. No one really takes you very seriously; it won't diminish your reputation in the slightest. And how did you get to be an "expert" on North Korea? How much time have you spent there? Incidentally -- do you think that Obama knows the identity of each and every person being held in Guantanamo? The very prospect is absurd. So why would you expect Netanyahu to know the identity of each and every security prisoner held in an Israeli prison? For someone who claims Israeli citizenship but never served in the IDF or performed national service, you sure do have a lot to say about how you think the State of Israel should be run, particularly when it comes to security issues. So you are full of off-the-wall ideas about the State of Israel, its military operations and its security issues -- a country which you never served in any meaningful capacity. Don't you find that just a tadbit hypocritical? I do. Who the hell are you -- having never served in the military -- to make the grandiose statements you are so fond of making? Or is it your more-than-just-a-little-weird obsession with Prime Minister Netanyahu?

Why do you repetitively claim there was no trial? In the film, the narrator did say that there was indeed a trial, you hyper-idiot! The Petah Tiqva court well before the assumed, alleged suicide brought the complete gag order!!!! Can't you even hear or interpret information? It's ALL in the film, moron. Eevrything went according to law. It's a completely diff. matter that *EEVRYTHING* connected to this case was legally under a sweaping ban! You are not only making a mockery of yoruself by your anti-Israel paranoia all the time here on the thread, but also for chooing another person's moniker, the real "Sarah B". Have you absolutely no shame? Who believes an inch you say, that you have Isral's best interests at heasrt, when in fact you would be dancing on Trafalgar Square if Israel was damaged or worse, God forbid! Leave us alone with your nonsense and constant buig fat BS, you are utterly transparent.

Highly likely that he has Israeli citizenship. Whatever the man did was DEADLY serious - as serious as, for example, selling out or giving to another government agency details of a highly classified operation which endangered those assigned to execute it. All those calling for information just want bacchanal. All those horrified that it can happen to anybody, including them, are just fishing and / or whipping up emotions. Are they in top secret undercover work or engaged in clandestine activities of the state? Are they good candidates to be hauled into prison, given false names and thrown into a maximum security cell? I hardly think so. They are just exciting up themselves and grabbing an opportunity to try to embarrass the government. Their attacks are more against Israeli Security Services than the government because it is more than likely that the Security Services had a big say in the matter as to how to deal with the individual. Let them go and ask the US, Russia, China and in fact all countries how they deal with their state security, treason, espionage and terrorism. NONE of them are lily white and neither will the public officially hear of the details.

I have maintained that "Prisoner X " is alive and well .This is an elaborate hoax designed in order to confuse enemies and to protect israelis agents.

Israel is a democratic country that is one of the most civilized countries in our entire globe. If Israel had done what the media has stated it has done then the government had its reasons. I personally do not believe the media and can't see why would Mossad go thru so much to hide this and then allow so many leaks. So this is all bullshit. And also the person who called the media should be invested and criminal charges brought against him.
