An Israeli court sentenced the lawyer of the PLO’s Prisoners’ Committee to 13 years, six months in prison on Tuesday, Quds Press has reported. Tariq Barghouth was arrested by the Israeli occupation forces on 27 February this year before undergoing harsh interrogation.

To put pressure on him in order to give what are said to be false confessions, the Israelis also arrested his wife and sister. The two women were released later.

Barghouth is one of the most prominent lawyers known for defending Palestinian prisoners held by Israel. He is currently in Nafha Prison in the south of Israel.

Mind you, they're just like us. Israelis are identical to Americans -- they go to church on Sunday, knit by the fire, subscribe to Readers Digest....

No, no. They go to Synagogue on Saturday. That is the Jooish Sabbath. ;)
