by Ezra HaLevi and Gil Ronen
(IsraelNN.com) The Prisons Service Committee of the Israel Bar Association published a scathing report Wednesday on the prison conditions of five minor girls who were arrested at a protest in Jabel Mukaber earlier this week, investigative journalist Yoav Yitzchak's News First Class reports.

MK Zevulun Orlev (NU/NRP) said that "the report shows that the Prisons Service is behaving in an inhumane manner reminiscent of dark regimes," which cannot be allowed to exist in Israel as a law abiding country.

I see nothing is new under the sun concerning the rotting Russian Compound in the dark heart of Jerusalem. That's where the Bolsheviks imprisoned me before my unjust deportation, and our former Consul General Edward Abington, Jr. shamefully turned a blind eye to the politico-religious persecution against a fellow American, since he's bought and paid for by the PLO - was then and now, so it appears.
Various Israelis have called for the Russian Compound's demolition for years, and yet it still stands - as does the corruption that runs rampant throughout the Israeli oligarchy controlled country.
