AL QUDS, June 2: Twelve Israeli border policemen have confessed to abusing Palestinians, Israel Radio reported on Wednesday. Nine policemen reportedly were arrested three days ago and admitted to beating Palestinians and robbing their money during searches near the West Bank border.

Three border policemen reportedly confessed to abducting two 17- year-old Palestinians from a village near Al Quds to a nearby forest. The victims were beaten with sticks, punched, had dairy products poured over them and were forced to kiss the policemen's shoes and chew sand and stones.

The three policemen were also arrested this week and were scheduled to be indicted on Wednesday. Pictures reportedly displayed in court on Tuesday showed the that one youth's back was covered in welts from the beatings.

GAZA PULLOUT: In a related development Israeli Premier Ariel Sharon said on Wednesday that he was determined to implement his Gaza Strip withdrawal plan by the end of 2005, despite fierce opposition among some members of the cabinet and coalition legislators.

"By 2005 there will not be any settlers left in Gaza," the premier was quoted by the Ma'ariv daily as telling the Knesset (parliament) Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee. Sharon has said he plans to bring the withdrawal initiative to the cabinet for a vote on Sunday even though a majority of ministers will reportedly oppose it.

The premier has also said he will not compromise on his plan to evacuate all 21 settlements in the Gaza Strip, and four isolated ones in the northern West Bank. Justice Minister Yosef Lapid has been trying to broker a compromise with Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the most prominent cabinet opponent to Sharon's plan.

Netanyahu wants a limited withdrawal of only three isolated settlements in the Gaza Strip. Sharon was forced to modify his original withdrawal plan after members of his Likud Party rejected it in a party referendum early last month. The revised plan would see the evacuation carried out in stages, with each stage dependent on prior cabinet approval. -dpa

thats BS its all arab propaganda :roll: :bash:

And why does a case of abuse have to be propaganda?

It's just a typical case of abuse. It's sad and shameful. And majority of Israelis support their judicial system that surely will punish those who rob money and beat civilians.

If only Palestinians cared about justice and honour as Israelis and American soldiers do, we would be on easy street.

P.s. Still Pakistani's most popular newspaper could call Jerusalem by its official name, not Al Quds (Arafat's gang favourite) as it prefers. But that's just some nitpicking.

One is being sarcastic.

One is being sarcastic.

I know, but even in this sarcasm I got the sense of anti-Israeli sentiment.

Why?
;) It sounded like One implied that Israel meets real news about some events as "Palestinian propaganda", while in reality Israel cares about every REAL fact of abuse. And IDF conducts army investigations like ANY OTHER state would in case of abuse. (Maybe even more vigirous than some EU states).

I never talked with One on the forum and I maybe wrong about it, but I think he is from the group that... how can we put it... not exactly"the friends of Israel" group of people.. heh :D there I said it :oops:


P.s. to One, sorry if I hurt your feelings by passing judgement on your "orientation" in Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

So let's change Arabs with Jews and Mr American-Russian say same craps about Jews just like:

kill em all
jail em all

you are very Nazi - Mr Hitler would be very proud of you!

How about for instance consider (only consider) Arabs and Jews have both the right to own states and it is possible to resolve this problem

Sieg Heil Sharon!

Hmmm.. I don't see you accepting my side.
And why should I accept the side of my enemy?
