When will the international community ever hold Israel to account for its disgraceful, degrading and disgusting treatment of Palestinians? Take the case of Mohammad Allan, a Palestinian man whose detention last month was suspended because of failing health as a result of his hunger strike against the illegal incarceration without charges or trial.

On Wednesday, Israeli security forces arrested the 31-year-old as he visited a medical centre in southern Israel. Now, he’s back behind bars and again has no idea when of if he’ll ever be released, or when or if he’ll ever be charged with any crime. He had been held since November 2014 and the order was renewed in May.

Allan is not alone: At any given time, thousands of Palestinians are held illegally under these detention orders. Imagine the outcry if such punitive treatment and jailing were imposed on Israelis? That, however, would never be the case as there is one rule for Jews, another for Arabs. And for those who try and seek justice, there is but imprisonment without any due process.
