We’re speaking of people held without charge under administrative detention. It falls short of rote internment only by the fact that it’s intended to and generally is reasonably temporary. Read your own article. It’s like a revolving door.
Yeah I did read it. It’s often for longer than 6 months and even longer than a year, I even saved this graph to show you…
Since 2017 there has generally been 200+ in for longer than 6 months, sometimes much more. Each order lasts up to 6 months so it’s not so short, in fact Hamas’ hostages released in the cease fire a while back had been there much less time. I don’t think that makes it OK in either case. Like the hostages still there now are like the Palestinians who’ve had their detention extended once.
These folks aren’t accused, they are suspects albeit still being investigated, but there’s enough suspicion to justify holding them longer than what would be typical in the usual criminal setting
Except this evidence isn’t shared so how do we know this? Imo if there’s no charge and you hold someone for a long time (over 48 hour seems reasonable) then these people are simply hostages. Like if Hamas said that the current hostages are suspected of aiding the IDF in “criminal” activity and provided no details would that be acceptable to you? It would not be to me.
I hate what this administrative detention means to well-founded, hard-won notions of fairness and justice
Absolutely, as everyone should.
I know there’s no justice for those wrongly caught up in it. That doesn’t make it unjustified.
I mean by definition it kind of does make it unjustified. Nobody, Israel and Hamas both included, has the right to keep people captive without charge. An opaque military justice system and evidence-free accusations don’t make what Israel is doing in any way justified.
Paragraph three is what I’m citing for the proposition that Israel is redeemable. Their government has a Supreme Court and in it exists a right of habeas corpus.
Absolutely it is redeemable if it releases the “Innocent people held against their will” immediately and gives restitution as you said. Until that day this is functionally identical to what Hamas did, imo.
Interesting article, thanks for sharing! Whst happens to these people disgusts me, truly.
