As a democracy, Israel shows no moral tenet : Comments

By Alon Ben-Meir, published 29/1/2021

Mohammed El Halabi, an aid worker from Gaza, has been in prison for four years while he awaits his trial; this is nothing short of cruel absurdity.

Someone accused of embezzlement is hardly a "political prisoner". He is an alleged criminal. Describing a Palestinian in Israel as an "aid worker" is pretty imaginative, too.

Israel has to be tough to survive, constantly threatened Palestinians and other lunatics as it is.

Four years awaiting trial? Par for the course in the Weimar republic? Yawhol?

Yes, Israel behaves immorally in this case because its described actions are not for its own protection, but rather for the preservation of its 1967 occupation.

However, administrative detention (which the author opposes) is the only legitimate reason to incarcerate people. People may be locked up because and for as long as they pose a serious danger to society - throwing people in prison who are no longer likely to cause harm, is totally wrong and disgusting.

Dear Alan,

I clearly do not support Israel's occupation, I actually grieve for Israel's loss of character due to it.

All I said is, that if you are to detain anyone, then you better detain those who are prone to harm others in the future rather than those who caused harm in the past but are unlikely to cause any more harm.

While self-defense is legitimate, justice is God's responsibility, not man's.

Yes, Yuyutstu. And I pointed out that Isreal's current admin is little better than the Warfen SS! And maintains a long-standing army of occupation on the soil of the defeated oppressed, who would seem to have no real rights, least of all, property rights!

Disagree all you and your ilk like! Just don't vote to change very much!
