    Those Gazans with work permits are now being illegally detained in Israel.

          Please point me to the international law (I assume you mean the Geneva Convention) that says that you can’t take prisoners.

            I said you can’t illegally detain people without charge, not that you can’t take prisoners. A large number of Palestinians are held without charge in Israelz and in the past few weeks that number has sky rocketed with many arbitrary detention.

                Yes being at “war” is totally the best excuse to commit atrocities and get away with it.

                    That isn’t an excuse either to kill more than 8 thousand civilians.
