1. As Punishment Olmert Will Free Them

2. Our prisons are run like summer camps.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.20.08)
I can imagine the punishment for rioting - they'll take away their TV's for a week & no ice cream for dessert.
3. not quite a summer camp
Stan ,   Jerusalem   (12.20.08)
Ofer isn't a prison (where you might get a TV or ice cream, Terry). It's a no-frills military base-turned detainment camp ... normal prisons don't house their inmates in tents. And while tents might evoke images of summer camps, remember summer camps aren't held in the winter.
4. # 2 I Have Been Inside Prison Here
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (12.20.08)
Unfortunately.You ,sir,obviously not.I enjoyed no Television nor Ice-cream but came out with Broken Ribs after being attacked by Arab cellmates.You usually contribute interesting talkbacks but this time you are talking crap,My experience was like the movie "Midnight Express" and I was lucky to survive so do NOT tell me about Summer Camps please.
5. # 2 Spend A Week In Ramle Jail Then
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (12.20.08)
We can talk.Until then I suggest you think before you make comments about Summer Camps,I left mine writhing in agony and white as a Ghost.
6. #4 Larry. Prisons are meant as punishment.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.20.08)
I won't ask why you were in prison. I think you have no idea what conditions are in prisons in some parts of the world. Trust me, Israeli prisons are summer camps compared to many places in the world. I had occasion to see conditions in a prison in the Arab country I come from (not as a ''guest'' luckily) & I can assure you, it was an unforgetable experience. Actually, "Midnight Express" was very much an understatement, a much santitized description - the movie somehow received a ''visa'' (approval) by the censors but was pulled after one day .......
7. #6 When You Are Lying On The Floor
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (12.20.08)
With a suspected fractured skull and cracked ribs,surrounded by members of Islamic Jihad it really does not get a lot worse than that.Please give it a rest with your Summer Camps comment,you will be saying the same about Auschwitz next.
8. # 6 Not That It Is Any Of Your Business
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (12.20.08)
I had an argument with my ex-wife inside a Government office,I refused to give a get so a week later the Police came for me.I did not deserve what happened to me ,aside from my own stupidity and not knowing when to walk away from a bad situation.Please save your prison is meant for punishment BS for your wonderful politicians like Olmert and co who deserve to be behind bars much more than I ever did.If you ever find yourself in jail I will be only too happy to patronise you.You are becoming very arrogant...you have been in Israel too long.
9. # 2 Terry I Used To Think You Were
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (12.20.08)
Smart,now I know I was mistaken .
10. Terry and Lawrence
Ali baba ,   Desert   (12.21.08)
Relax, both of you. Infighting is of no use. Both of you agree Olmert is crap. Both of you hold very similar views on many issue. Fighting amoungst ourselves is pointless. Remeber what happened to Altalena. That cost a great part of the war of independance and solely because of malicious infighting. As per your experience my condolences and I for one am truly surprised such a sentance was given in that manner. It's a shame those who did this to you were not taken of.
11. Shalit?
Ali Z. ,   Washington DC   (12.21.08)
11,000 palestinian Shalits are held in Israeli prisons. May God be with them and set them all free.
12. arrest them all!
Steve ,   Jaffa   (12.21.08)
