    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.
