6. What do you think?

Had the Israeli women and children who were indiscriminately abducted, kidnapped and hauled into Gaza been held with no charges and no legal remedies? Is the Pope catholic?

Does Israel routinely takes Palestinians hostage? What makes you think that Palestinians were "rounded up"? Assuming your article has grounds to claim that the majority of charges included throwing rocks and ‘harming regional security’ (which they have yet to back up), what are the minority of the charges? Do they perchance include violence that exceeds mere rock throwing? Yes, they do: "Others are listed as detained for supporting illegal terror organizations, illegal weapons charges, incitement, and at least two accusations of attempted murder". And why is rock throwing not a just and legitimate charge? Have you ever had a rock thrown at you?

You may not be justifying the attack, but you are definitely attempting to draw parallels between innocent hostages and accused criminals. And that is obscene.
