OPINION: The troubling questions in Feldstein's detention story

Something doesn't add up in the Eli Feldstein case, and it's time we talked about it.

A man allegedly handcuffed and blindfolded around the clock somehow managed to obtain materials for a noose? The same man under constant surveillance supposedly had the freedom to prepare such an item? The math simply doesn't work.

Feldstein stands accused of leaking documents to Bild newspaper - a serious charge in wartime. But while numerous other leaks flood our media daily, only Feldstein faces these extraordinary detention conditions. Only Feldstein is treated like a high-risk terrorist rather than a suspected leaker.

When his lawyer reported that Feldstein said death would be preferable to his detention conditions, it should have raised red flags. Instead, we're now being asked to believe this constantly restrained man somehow orchestrated a suicide attempt.

Let's be clear: If Feldstein is guilty, he should face justice. But there's a difference between justice and what looks increasingly like a carefully orchestrated pressure campaign. The contradiction between the reported surveillance levels and this latest "discovery" is too glaring to ignore.

As Israelis who value both security and justice, we must ask ourselves: Are we witnessing proper law enforcement, or something else entirely?
