Breaking news, midnight - Peace in the Middle East?

Palestinians from the West Bank- ?? Included in these figures? Hamas?

Yes West Bank criminals should be counted as well as those from Gaza.

So, are standards of international decency allowed to drop with the excuse of war? Maybe they do for you.

Families of the the deceased hostages who haven't been returned have called for a suspension of the ceasefire. Israel's defence minister has said that Hamas has failed to meet it's commitments.
This is worrying news. Many bodies are still buried under the rubble. Hamas has said it will take time to locate the other bodies.
I hope this won't be an excuse to carry on fighting.

Hamas don’t know where the bodies are. On 7/10/2023 several terrorist gangs were involved in the kidnappings/ rapes / killings of the Israel citizens.

Palestinians from the West Bank- ?? Included in these figures? Hamas?

A country at permanent war is the difference.

Included in those who have been detained by Israel without charge or trial, often for years, are also women and children.

The UK has a prison population of about 100,000. So 10,000 prisoners in a war zone doesn’t seem excessive.

Do the maths. Population of Gaza 2.1 million. Population of UK 69.6 million.

Of course you can get arrested and detained for nothing Oreo, it all depends which country is responsible for the arrest and detention.

WW is correct, 1700 of the Palestinians released had been detained but never gone to trial.

You may have no compassion for those held without trial in Israeli prisons who may have been tortured, but some of us do.

Google, AI, and all the sources they use, will give you those numbers AnnieB, should you chose to look.

Who has given the number of Palestinians in Israeli jails ?

How many does it have to be ronib, before it is deemed to be an injustice?

Exactly how many? Wwm2

There are 10000 Palestinians still in Israeli jails. Many being held with no trial, being tortured and starved.

This has to stop.

Israel simply can’t thrive if it doesn’t fall in line with the accepted rules on torture. I so want the region including Israel to thrive but Peace can never be guaranteed in this sort of atmosphere - the oppressed will never forgive.

Israel does have a proper legal structure. It’s not a primitive society.

Not forgetting that members of the Israeli government have been convicted of crimes.

Which of the present ones and which crimes please?

You could say the same of many politicians from many countries, including the UK.

Trumped up crimes or real ones? AGAA4

Just one? There were over a thousand arrested.

I read of one Palestinian with 13 life sentences who will be deported from Israel/Gaza/Palestine.
No one is handed 13 life sentences without a trial.

We don't know if they have been arrested for 'nothing' if there has not been a fair trial.

We will place our compassion wherever it is due.

Everyone arrested and detained is entitled to
humane treatment during detention,
a fair trial.
Criminality simply cannot be assumed, it must be proven.
Were all of the released Palestinians treated humanely during their incarceration?

Instead of any misplaced compassion for released criminals it would be better to look forward now and just hope that Gaza doesn’t collapse into gangsters versus terrorists.

Palestine Action supporters did do something wrong as you must surely know.They showed support for a proscribed terror action group.The police had no option but to detain them as many refused to give their details.The ones that did give their details were not detained.
