I've Been Thinking:
Gilad Erdan, Israel's Minister of Public Security, is forbidding Hamas prisoners from watching the World Cup which begins in three weeks and takes place this summer in Russia.
That is real punishment.
Erdan is also investigating whether or not he can strip all TV viewing privileges from Hamas prisoners all year round.
The World Cup takes place every 4 years. This summer, literally 50% of the entire world will be watching.
Four years ago several prisoners were forbidden from watching the Games and in response the prisoners appealed to the Israeli Supreme Court. They won. The Court ruled that the prisoners could watch the World Cup.
For die hard fans, not watching the World Cup is truly cruel and unusual punishment .
