If you actually read the news you'd know that.

Like, here is Al Jazeera, even saying this fact:

Just to quote that article:

“The main alleged crime for these detentions is stone-throwing, which can carry a 20-year sentence in prison for Palestinian children,” said a report published in July by children’s rights organisation, Save the Children. ...

There are 19 prisons within Israel and one inside the occupied West Bank holding Palestinian prisoners. Before October 7, there were about 5,200 Palestinians in Israeli custody. However, following the Hamas attack of October 7, the number of Palestinians arrested skyrocketed and 3,000 more were arrested.

It's kind-of sad that it's so easy to get you to engage in pedantry that you will go out of your way to find a source, send someone that source, and then not even read the 774 word article (removing the names of the prisoners).

That is barely more than one page.

And I know you didn't read it, because if you did you'd have seen that picture above.

You'd have seen more than 2,200 administrative detainees held without charge or trial.

You would have seen:

Some Palestinian prisoners have been in Israeli jails for more than 30 years, since before the Oslo Accords were signed. The term “deans of prisoners” is sometimes locally used to refer to them, reported Samidoun, an international Palestinian prisoner solidarity network. At least 700 Palestinian children under the age of 18 from the occupied West Bank are prosecuted every year through Israeli military courts after being arrested, interrogated and detained by the Israeli army.

But like, nah, nevermind. You're happy to say shit that your source directly and immediately goes on to say isn't true, because you found an Al Jazeera article calling them "prisoners" instead of "hostages", so you're right.

Obviously. Everyone who disagrees with you is just stupid and ill-informed.
