Is this true?

Don't want to start a 'bashing' thread, but is/was this really true?

The court issued a temporary injunction against the practice in 2002 after a teenager was killed when troops made him negotiate with a wanted militant.

The army cannot use civilians for its purposes, Israel's chief justice said.

"You cannot exploit the civilian population for the army's military needs, and you cannot force them to collaborate with the army," Aharon Barak said.

Adallah submitted an affidavit by one Israeli reservist who said: "No civilian would refuse a 'request' presented to him at 0300 by a group of soldiers aiming their cocked rifles at him."

Regardless of the 'situation' or the trouble caused when dealing with security issues, if what I have just read on the beeb about this 'practice' is true, then it is soo wrong

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black... The ends justifies the means? I don't think so
I'm not sure what else to say about this really, I'm shocked

What do you lot think/ know about this? As we are a fairly diverse fora, has anyone seen this for themselves, or know someone who has?
