What are the long-term effects of the use of torture on victims and their families?
The result of the years when approximately one thousand Palestinians were tortured annually by the security forces is that, immediately after their release, these people became the greatest enemies the State of Israel has. Many have also become the enemies of peace.
The families of the victims, who had been exposed to the suffering and injustice that their relatives suffered, joined the circle of hate. This further proves that torture endangers the possibility of true reconciliation between the two peoples and increases the danger of terrorism in the future by those who personally suffered from torture.
