    If they had any evidence of a crime then they would have been charged with a crime, imprisoning a criminal civilian simply because the law enforcers are lazy or too busy is just as bad as imprisoning innocents, there is no need for distinction.

      I’m not sure but I think the reason is because they are under a foreign government (Hamas) and have a different legal system. Israel as far as I can tell are acting to protect their citizens by arresting perpetrators but then being unable to process them through their legal system. I can see this could be abused but I don’t believe it would be in every case

        No they have no problem putting Palestinians through their justice system. They just use military courts with a 99% conviction rate instead.

          That does sound shit, it’s impossible for know but I would like to know the true number of guilty out of that 99%
