Netanyahu: Israel To Toughen Conditions Of Palestinian Prisoners

[Purveyor]

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Thursday that he plans on toughening the conditions of Palestinian security prisoners in Israel's prisons.

"I have decided to change Israel's treatment of terrorists sitting in prison," Netanyahu said during the closing statements at the Presidential Conference in Jerusalem. "We will give them all that they deserve according to international law but nothing beyond that."

Netanyahu said that he is required to respect Israeli law, international law, and international trust but nothing beyond that, so Israel is taking a series of steps to change prisoners' conditions.

8. That is a disgusting thing to say.

He "owns this country"?! Please explain and elaborate.

2. What a piece of shit.

:puke:

[henank]

9. Why?

For fulfilling international law? You have a funny idea of shit. Has he said he'll break the law? What is so wrong with what he has said? Please elaborate and explain. Why are terrorists entitled to academic studies while in prison? What law says that they are?

15. "Fulfilling" is an interesting choice of words.

Same goes for "terrorists". Your bias is quite evident. There's no reason for me to try to have a dialog with you. I know exactly how it will go. Waste of my time. Sorry pal.

The guy is a murdering, genocidal maniac. He's a piece of shit!

3. It might be nice to know what is actually going to change before the P&M begins

As long as the *ALL OF THE RULES* are followed, is there an issue here?

[Webster Green]

5. I don't know if it's an issue....

...but it is curious that a piece of shit is capable of speaking.

6. That depends on who writes the rules. The Justice Department under George W Bush has showed

us that government can be easily corrupted and twisted to fit its leaders needs.

10. +1

Well said.

4. BiBi

where is your humanity?You call the Palestinians terrorist while your thugs terrorize the Palestinian citizens.Our gutless congress continue to supply BiBi and his bullies the money they need to do their shameful deeds,I say shame on congress and those that support such behavior.

7. I wonder if this is related to Hamas refusing the Red Cross access to Shalit. nt

[henank]

11. It says so in the OP

Duh. If only people would read the actual article.

Netanyahu's comments come after Hamas refused Thursday to answer the International Red Cross' request that the Gaza rulers provide proof that abducted Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit is still alive.

But of course it's so much easier to jump on Bibi, call him a piece of shit, a thug, a terrorist, insane. The terrorists of course are all as pure as the driven snow.

The hatred on this board for any Israeli move in its defense knows no bounds.

12. Oops - boy do I feel stupid!

and there I was patting myself on the back for my insightful analysis!

[tootrueleft]

13. And whats defensive about worsening the conditions of people you already have locked up?

[bemildred]

14. Bibi is just annoyed and acting out.

Trying to make sense of it is a waste of time, it's just an emotional outburst, an attempt to not "look weak", which of course looks exactly that way.
