Respect for Palestinians deteriorating

* UN high commissioner for human rights says there is "rapid deterioration" of [respect for Palestinians' human] rights in West Bank.*

Israeli suppression forces have jailed thousands, venting hatred at them physically in the process. Most of them were not charged with any crime; Israel practices arbitrary imprisonment of Palestinians, much as South Africa under apartheid practiced arbitrary imprisonment of dissidents.

None of that is new. What is new is the great increase in number of victims.
