"Summary:

"The Israeli High Court issued a ruling that allows the Shabak, which is the Internal General Security Service of Israel, to torture with impunity. The Public Committee Against Torture in Israel (PCATI) published a report condemning the practice of torture that is "derived from the darkness of the Middle Ages," and the Israeli High Court which issued the ruling. The Shabak security agency said in response that its interrogations were "conducted according to the law. All detainees have the right to file a complaint with the courts or the Red Cross and these will be examined by the Ombudsman of Interogees' Complaints."

"The depth of the Israeli torture includes crimes against Palestinian children by interrogation methods that commonly included severe beatings, dousing in cold water, putting the detainee’s head in a toilet bowl, threats, and curses. The use of Stress and Duress torture techniques, which is a key component to the U.S. program, was adopted from the Israeli program.
Touted as the shining example of the Democratic Rule of Law, Israel has illustrated contempt for law and the value of human life, or even possessing an ethical standard of moral behavior with respect to the civil and human rights of the Palestinians. No lessons learned from the crimes committed during the Nazi Holocaust.
