your 'point' ----------- is your 'opinion' without references - just a fart of opinion from the usual place
here's your precious Israel - in the Hamas V Israel hostage game --------- Israel is way way in front on the atrocity scale

''Israel is holding a significant number of Palestinian detainees without formal charges, many of whom may be considered innocent. Here are the key points:
1. Administrative detention: Israel uses a policy called "administrative detention" which allows them to imprison individuals, primarily Palestinians, without charge or trial for indefinite periods[1][2][3].
2. High numbers: As of August 2023, Israel was holding 1,201 detainees without charge or trial, the highest number in over 30 years[1]. This represents about a quarter of all Palestinians held in Israeli prisons[4].
3. Lack of due process: Detainees under administrative detention are not informed of the accusations against them and are unable to mount a proper defense[1][2]. The detentions can last from short periods to years, with extensions often granted without transparent justification[1].
4. Children affected: Even minors, some as young as 12, are subject to administrative detention[3]. Many child detainees report physical abuse and rights violations during their imprisonment[3].
5. Recent releases: During the November 2023 prisoner exchange with Hamas, Israel released many Palestinian prisoners. Notably, nearly 80% of the 300 Palestinians identified for potential release had not been formally charged with any crime[2].
6. Criticism: This practice has been widely criticized by human rights organizations and the international community as a violation of due process and human rights[1][2][3].
While Israeli authorities defend this practice as necessary for security reasons[1], the lack of formal charges and trials for many detainees suggests that a significant number may be innocent or held for political reasons rather than for proven criminal acts.
