There's always a workaround.

"Arabs tend to confess; it's part of their nature" -- Moshe Etzioni, an Israeli high court justice, in an interview with Amnesty International, when asked about the unusually high rate of confessions from Palestinians (indicating Israel's use of torture), 1977

Torture
Interrogation by torture in absolutely prohibited by Israeli and international law. Despite this, Israeli security forces breach the prohibition and torture Palestinians during interrogation.

In July 2001, B'Tselem published a report on torture that occurred from October 2000 to January 2001 during interrogations of Palestinians in the Gush Etzion police station. The victims were youngsters aged fourteen to seventeen. In most of the cases, the police arrested them at their homes in the middle of the late night and took them to the police station in Gush Etzion, where police interrogators tortured them until morning. The police objective was to obtain confessions and information about other minors. The methods of torture described in the report included: Forcing the minors to stand in painful positions for prolonged periods; Beating the minors severely for many hours, at times with the use of various objects; Splashing cold water on the detainees in the facility's courtyard in wintry conditions; Pushing the minor's head into the toilet bowl and flushing the toilet; Making death threats; Cursing and degrading the minors

Testimonies given to B'Tselem indicate that these are not isolated cases or uncommon conduct by certain police officers, and information received by B'Tselem raises the serious likelihood that torture during interrogations at the Gush Etzion police station continues.

Israeli torture

And, according to the Israelis, the Palestinians can get used to almost anything. Kinda “numb”, if you will.

“What did Benizri have to say? He joked, "They've probably become used to it." And his colleague, Shas MK David Tal, who presided at the meeting, said: "And even a hanged man flutters for a while, and then he gets used to it and calms down." Tal's words are prescient: They describe Israeli society's reaction to its country's treatment of its foreign workers.”
