So when you say that Israel shares western values what you mean is the desire to commit sadistic torture and violate human rights? I don't disagree at all actually that the US also does not practice what it preaches.

What I'm saying is that to the extent you can infer from Abu Ghraib that "Western values are to commit sadistic torture", then you can infer Israeli values by pictures of IDF soldiers doing whatever.

I think that extent is very small. If you think otherwise, then you're not really claiming Israel is worse so much as that all Western countries are terrible. (I disagree but that's your logic.)
