הוועד הציבורי נגד עינויים בישראל

According to the GSS itself, a case of real and immediate danger, the hypothetical "ticking bomb" is extremely rare. The meaning of this is that most of the torture that took place in interrogation in the past is has no connection to the immediate thwarting of an act of terror.
The use of this term is dangerous because it acts emotionally on all Israelis who see themselves as potential victims of a terrorist act. None of us see ourselves as a potential victim of torture. As a result of this the Israeli public agrees to the employment of torture and disregard the inhuman, immoral and illegal aspects of these actions.

Is it possible that Israeli leaders will be brought to trial for permitting the use of torture in Israel?
If Israel enacts a law which permits the use of torture (Rubi Rivlin's bill) there will be serious damage to Israel's international standing.
Former Minister of Justice, Yossi Beilin, claims that this law would be a terrible mistake and that Israel would be the first country in the world to permit the use of torture by law. Chairman of the Foreign and Defense Committee, Dan Meridor warns that Knesset members who support the law allowing torture could be brought to trial before an international court and charged with the responsibility for Israel's policy on torture.
The deputy attorney general, attorney Mannie Mazoz, a member of the Suker-Mazoz committee, fears the serious damage that would be caused to the state of Israel following this legislation and calls for the application and carrying out of alternate means and the adaptation of the system of interrogation to international standards.
