Just to be clear, administrative detention of Palestinians in Israel allows the Israeli government to hold detainees for as long as a year, or longer, without charging them, the rationale being to hold dangerous terrorists without giving out secret information about them in order to preserve Israel’s national security. Because of this policy, the detainees who are fortunate enough to have attorneys can’t easily legally defend themselves. Israel used to be a democracy. What happened to due process?
