Religion of peace, indeed.
2. Amnesty and the Red Cross
Ben Hur ,   Manhattan, USA   (09.08.08)
Are way to busy making sure prisoners in Israeli Security prisons don't, Allah forbid, drink Coca-Cola from Israel.
3. where are the groups who condem Israel for less
zionist forever   (09.08.08)
Shin Bet draws huge international criticism if they just make palestians prisoners uncomfortable through things like sleep deprivation or bright lights for the sole purpose of getting information out of them for security purposes. Palestians carry out torture for no good reason on a scale much worse than anything Israel does and the only people who complain about it are a specialist palestian human rights group. Not allowing terrorists congeugal visits is considered a kind of abuse of human rights when it comes to Israel. Dont hear a word from Amnesty International and all the other idealist humanitarian groups who love to condem Israel for even the smallest thing. I imagine all that is very pleasurable to the conditions Gilad Shalit has been held in for going on 3 years now.
4. I'm sure the charedi settlers are behind this
Adam Eliyahu Berkowi   (09.08.08)
Actually, these are the people that Olmert, Peres, Barak, Mofaz, and all the left wing, post-zionist politicos support. But I'm sure it is morally superior than the charedi and the settlers.
5. The Oslo experiment has failed
Dovid ,   Modiin   (09.08.08)
The Oslo experiment has failed. It is time to for a new leader to lead us to Malchut Yisroel.
6. #3 where are the groups?
Avi ,   Israel   (09.08.08)
Silent as always when they need to be vocal. Their anti-Israel diatribes are not only one sided but show the breadth and depth of their hate. As an Israeli I about bust when I hear Beit Salem blow off hot air against their own yet say nothing against those who plot to kill their very own. There stories have but one side. We surely understand what it means when non-Israelis have chosen to make Israel the victim, into the victimizers . This comes easy for them. However when our very own look through only one sided lenses that is when one just shakes one head in shame.
7. number 3, take a look:

Monday, September 8, 2008 In 2007, B'Tselem Casualty Count Doesn't Add Up "But if this detailed analysis is too long or tedious for the time-strapped journalist or other skeptic to absorb, here's one quick fact which should raise serious question marks about B'Tselem's credibility on Palestinian casualties: the organization still lists Mohammad Al-Dura as killed by Israeli security forces. In 2007, B'Tselem Casualty Count Doesn't Add Up September 4, 2008by Tamar Sternthal - CAMERA www.camera.org:80/index.asp?x_context=7&x_issue=39&x_article=1533 B'Tselem has pulled it off again, duping the mainstream media into believing it has tallied civilian Palestinian casualties when it has done no such thing. The oft-cited organization bills itself as a human rights group devoted to rigorous documentation of Israeli conduct in the West Bank and Gaza aimed at educating the public and encouraging political action. Yet the so-called documentation continues to be marred by serious flaws that journalists routinely ignore while reporting the group's charges at face value. B'Tselem, it should be noted, is heavily funded by European entities, including German, British, Irish, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and Swiss groups, as well as the Ford Foundation and the New Israel Fund." read on: http://www.imra.org.il/story.php3?id=40624
8. More evidence that occupation corrupts...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (09.08.08)
It's time to end the occupation called Palestine!
9. Occupation by the Israelis will seem like a walk in the park
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (09.08.08)
10. OMG!!!! I'm telling Blair's Sister in Law on them
Chezki ,   NY USA   (09.09.08)
11. Why are the peace groups so silent?
JAyyy ,   Israel   (09.09.08)
WHere is their condemnation. Im sure if it were Arab prisoners complaining about Israeli jails treatement of them, idiots like Oppenhiemer and peace now would be screaming. Pack of foolish hypocrites!
12. israel will never ever be forgiven
