I did not make up this cartoon.

According to a Deutsche Presse-Agentur report about Israeli government actions:

"A special ministerial committee appointed a team to examine whether it would be possible, in accordance with international law, to limit the amount of money transferred to prisoners for their personal use, their ability to watch television and listen to the radio, acquire an education and isolate them so they cannot enjoy physical contact with prisoners.
The committee is expected to complete its study within two weeks, Israeli media reports said Thursday."

The phrase 'cutting off' is a start but I doubt the end goal would be cable TV if I were in charge.

I think Israel should take action but don't you think cutting off the terrorists cable TV is a bit extreme? I mean for God's sake, we live in a civilized world here. The next thing you know, they will stop serving McDonald's for lunch.

Terrorists in prison, huh? I have a solution. Torture them mercilessly so that they BEG for death, then give them a slow and painful death. And that would still more humane than these terrorist scumbags deserve.

Oh dear, they kidnap, torture, behead. They set IEDs, they poison, they snipe. But when caught, they cry like babies and demand they are treated with dignity and respect.

They should reap as they choose to sow.

EXACTLY!!! I have nothing for a terrorist. Once someone decides thatthey can blow-up busloads of innocent women and children for the sake of furthering their goals, they have just forfieted all claims to mercy. Killing an enemy soldier in wartime or killing in defense of one's self or one's family is one thing, but MURDERING innocent civilians just because they are of a different religion or ethnic group is something else entirely.

Default Re: Cruel and inhumane punishment?

i remember last september reading posts in a forum in an israeli newspaper .they were mostly in support of obama. i made a post asking them if they had ever heard the expression "cutting off the limb your sitting on" israel is even more suicidal due to political correctness then we are. i feel less and less sorry for them all the time.
