So about those laws.

Also wondering which Israeli laws allow for the physical, mental and sexual abuse of children. Perhaps it might be good to change those if they exist.

And since we’re on the topic of laws. Perhaps we should look into Article 2 of the CPPCG, and, if Israel insists these people are prisoners of war, which seems to be the case with the venue of choice being a military court, Article 13 of the Geneva Convention on Prisoners of War.

Surely the “only democracy in the Middle East” will adhere to most supreme of all laws?

When you deal with a terrorist organization with no problem decapitating babies or sending bombs on children, then it's probably a good idea to make detainees prove they don't have bombs strapped to them...

You can do that with thermal cameras. Bomb vests are super clear on thermal imagery. Have been for 15 years.
