Now his father must fear reprisals from his fellow Pali neighbors, plus be made a paraiah, all because Mandelbilt had to "pass a message" to the media. He'd have done better to have passed the father an airline ticket to the destination of his choice for him and his, and demolish the home. If you want more informants, don't spill the beans on them. Doing so deters informants.

Most likely this was done for political purposes. No competent Israeli would actually expect somebody living in the territories to turn in a terrorist, let alone a family member. If he did that person-s lifespan could be measured in hours.

As a lawyer, I have occasion to be involved in some cases that involve proceedings in Israel that may affect legal rights or cases here where I practice. Between that exposure to the Israeli legal system, and what you learn from news items like these, I must say that Israel has a very messed up legal system. An A.G. gets to dictate major anti-terror policy decisions on his own? Supreme Court judges picking other Supreme Court lawyers? Administrative detention? I’ve read judicial decisions from Israel as well. While they can be very sophisticated, I am shocked at how the judges basically either make stuff up or decide on their own to expand, modify or reject legal principles and rules at the drop of a hat. I also found some of the judges to be shockingly and openly political in their decision making. Sad.

Oops. That should have been: "Supreme Court judges picking other Supreme Court judges?
