ah yes, the 7200 terrorists, including hundreds of child terrorists. the two and a half 9/11 deaths worth of terrorists

i'm sure most of those are legitimate imprisonments that aren't at all human rights violations, despite many of those people all not having any charges associated with their arrests. i'm sure the vastly unequal treatment of palestinians vs israelis that includes an indefinite time in captivity facing physical abuse and strip searches along with things like public and private gatherings of 10 or more people being illegal for specifically palestinians isn't anything to worry about

Since taking hostages is a war crime, the whole “prisoners” thing is an extremely thin veil to circumvent those laws.

Extremely thin, because they use administrative detention and military courts with “secret” evidence for the few that are lucky to see a court in the first place.

Not to mention the litany of human rights violations that occurs in the prisons themselves.

Even POWs are to be treated better than the ~~administrative detainees~~ hostages according to the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War.

Considering the butchering, rape, and hostages taken on October 7th and then the mistreatment of Israeli hostages in the past and present, the detention of people caught stabbing, throwing rocks, or supporting terrorist activity is warranted.

Considering that this is a population capable of butchering the equivalent of 32x 9/11 deaths (adjusting for Israeli population), and that you're dealing with a terrorist organization known for dexapiating babies and sending it's own children with bombs strapped to their bodies, it might be a good idea to make sure your detainees don't have anything under their clothes...
