Chaimkl, if you are a family member, then I deeply apologize. I really hope they get out quick and back to EY. However, we must still not use harsh language about another country without knowing all the facts, especially considering that others posted here that the conditions are standard, as far as prison goes. I have no way of knowing.
However, it is true that we must all be mechazek our dina dmlachusa, if for no other reason than they must have been asked by security if anybody gave them anything, and if they packed their bags themselves, which are standard, especially in Israel. Chas vshalom a terrorist could have given them a bomb. We must follow the laws and answer questions truthfully. It doesn’t mean that they should go to prison for a long time, but we must use this as a lesson so nobody else gets into this kind of situation in the future.
