The government decided to exert pressure on Hamas by cracking own on jailed terrorists. The effort is pathetic.
International human rights groups would protest less-than-humane treatment of Jew-murderers. Israel’s own Supreme Court would certainly concur with the anti-Semites.
Hamas does not care about the worsening conditions. It has already announced that it can wait another year for the exchange, and it is no problem for their fellow terrorists to stay in jail.
The jailed terrorists have been kept in much better conditions than Israeli criminals, and incredibly better than those endured by Yigal Amir, the Bat Ayin underground, and other Jewish terrorists.
Jailed terrorists have satellite TV in their cells, newspapers, cell phones, virtually unlimited family visits, and are allowed media interviews (a privilege refused to Amir). They study free at Israeli universities (normal students pay) and receive free high-end medical treatment. Each terrorist receives $300 a month pocket money from the Jewish state he does not recognize. Terrorist leaders continue to operate their groups over the phone straight from their cells.
This madness is supported by Israeli leftist establishment, which nurtures terrorists to prop Peres and Beilin’s idea of bringing the Jewish state under Arab jurisdiction.
