The PCAT seems to have it all backwards. They are concerned about the degragation/discomfort ete. of terrorists. They place the rights of terrorists way above the rights of law abiding people. Degrading is becoming paralyzed due to an attack and having to spend the rest of your life unable to independently do normal body functions! Discomfort is burying a child or spouse and forever feeling that loss. Torture is being fearful of riding a bus, eating in a restaurant or leading a normal life. Suffering is wondering if you will see your children after you send them to school, or if you will make to the shelter in the 15 seconds allotted time. THE PCAT needs to change its' focus. Israel should do whatever needs to be done to puthese vermin behind bars.

Take a lesson out of Saddam Hussains book. Seriously punish them then you get results. Sadly we can't go pulling their finger nails out but the defenition of torture these days has got so weak and pathetic that its a joke. YOU CANT LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON 24 HOURS A DAY DEPRIVING THEM OF SLEEP YOU CANT SHACKLE THEM YOU CANT HUMILIATE THEM Whats the next thing considered torture .. not allowing them internet access or ordering them not to return to terror if they get out? I am sick to death of the liberal human rightists whose prime concern is always the criminals welfare.

These are people that, given a chance, would use a weapon, bomb or knife and kill. Not invalid reasons. They need to be inmobilsed in order not to be a danger to others. Shackling when done right is not voilent or harmful and not paingful, maybe not comfortable and pleasant but these are not people who have been convicted of taffic violations, or misdeameanors. Compare how such are aprehended in other countries of the world, not much different.

Take awat their TV and Internet first, then if they arwe really really bad take their cell phones

The real culprit is the Israeli leftist judiciary that has listened, taken seriously, and followed recommendations by these anti-Jewish groups. The High Court, particularly, with its strong belief that an Arab life is worth A LOT MORE than a Jewish life should be the target of your criticism. This so-called report on torture in Israel is obscene, since it focuses on the wellbeing of the same people who intend to torture or murder Jews, or who have tortured or murdered Jews in the past. If PCAT took the trouble to investigate how prisoners are treated in the PA and Gaza, Israeli methods would sound like Club Med in comparison. If the public had any say in it, these human rights activists would be treated with scorn and have their own finances and methods investigated in depth. Now these self-hating Jews are part of a wider worldwide net of anti-Israel harassment and hate and are growing bolder by the day. So blame it on your self-perpetuating leftist Supreme Court and your leftist judiciary and bureaucrats that work hand in hand with these groups.

The day that Israel falls into the trap of listening to civil rights groups and lawyers as to how it interrogates prisoners will be the day Israel will cease to exist as a country. Do not follow the United States example. We are a super power on the wane due to a Muslim, non citizen, president, a far left congress an electorate so stupid they allowed Acorn to stuff the ballot boxes and an underclass made up of illegals who want everything for free.. Israel can not affoed to be weak. It is probably too late for the U.S. to reverse course.

I would break their feet, how about Gilad Shalit? anyone?

Will someone do the World the favor of "Iran-style-tolerating" all the Liberal-left Idiot Organizations in the World, who have nothing better to do than supporting lawyers in the manner to which they are accustomed? Shin Bet will furnish ammunition at no charge! The only snag might be that bullets bounce off super-dense objects, like hard heads!

In my opinion all this effort in find a way to blame Israel for everything it does to defend it's population from entities that have the destruction of the State of Israel as priority one.Why no one investigate they methods? Someone will answer we do that, yes ones in a while because you are pushed to do so.Plase mr.Ban you are a pals reppresentative and your behavior is only disgrading the UN credibility

How can this be? what has happen to us?is this G-d's plan? herman goring would roll over in his grave, along with all our brothers and sisters....
