Why Israel has so many Palestinian prisoners

Israel has over 7,000 Palestinians in prison, most held without charges.  The others faced long sentences for gathers of 10 or more for what Israel calls political expression.  Palestinians are banned from displaying their flag or political symbols.  Again a 10 year prison sentence.   10 years if a Palestinian orally attempts to influence public opinion in a way Israel thinks would harm public peace.  Remember, these rules only apply to the Palestinians, not the Israeli settlers in Palestinian territory.  Life in prison for any act that Israel determines a disturbance or a danger to the security of the area or threats the security of the IDF (military).  That includes kids throwing rocks at the illegal wall Israel built in Palestinian territory.   Of course the laws are written very vague so they can be applied to anything a Palestinian does that someone in Israel doesn’t like.   Remember that while Israeli media and people held huge events celebrating the return of their family members, the Palestinians were warned they would be all be arrested if there was a similar celebration of returning family members.

Do you not see the Palestinians are kept in an open air prison with every aspect of their lives under the military control of Israeli IDF and at the mercy  of any Jewish citizen who harms them.  I recently watched a video of an illegal Jewish settler walk up to a Palestinian man who was unarmed and just shoot him.  A few feet away was an Israel Soldier who did nothing.  On the Palestinian’s land, he was a farmer shot on his own property.  The Jewish man was never charged.  There is more in the video.  Hugs.  Scottie
