"The term “prisoner” suggests a conviction following a fair trial—yet thousands of Palestinians, including children, activists, and journalists, are held without charge or legal recourse. Furthermore, calling Palestinian detainees “prisoners” erases the illegality of their detention and implies guilt where none has been proven."

"This baseless and inflammatory claim was presented without any journalistic qualification, counterpoint, or context about Amnesty’s findings.
