(IsraelNN.com) The Palestinian Authority, led by the Fatah party, admitted to a British newspaper that its security forces commonly use torture on prisoners, as charged by the Hamas terrorist organization. The PA is heavily funded by overseas contributions as well as taxes collected for it by the Israeli government.
“This is a shame on the Palestinian Authority,” Haitham Arar, head of the human rights department of the PA Interior Ministry, told the Mail. She admitted that torture, beatings and extra-judicial murders have been common in the Abbas administration

Gee. Who’da thunk it?
Muzzie’s torture? WOW!!!!
I’m guessing their torture is more than naked pyramids and barking dogs.

But this is excusable. They are not coercing confessions, nor extracting useful information. Instead, they are simply torturing them for fun. This is clearly distinguishable from waterboarding, where the “torture” actually serves a useful purpose, such as preventing terrorist attacks.

Shame is what you feel when you go to the doc and he asks you to strip and there are skid marks in your undies.
What these animals are doing is a crime.
The Israeli’s should be lauded loud and long for showing any restraint, when the truth is the Pali’s don’t deserve ANY.
In 1967, Israel should have bulldozed the “Dome of the Rock” and kicked all the Arabs out of Jerusalem (expropriating their property, IOW, they’d have been paid for it), what few were in Gaza (the population in that hell-hole has ballooned thanks to a flow of international aid), and the so-called West Bank. In retrospect, nothing could have turned out much worse in terms of diplomatic relations. Step two would have been to recruit Arab guerrilas to overthrow the dictatorship in Syria, the single party state in all but name in Egypt, and the despotates of Jordan and the House of Saud. :’)
I find it interesting that you use the term bulldozed, because that is exactly what I was thinking, with a more modern setting. Like NOW. But, I was trying to show a bit of restraint. Why, I don’t really know, unless it was just for your benefit.
