Hadeel Hijaz, a 33-year-old activist, was arrested last June on her way home to the West Bank from Malaysia and has been held in an Israeli prison ever since, with no charges and no answers.

She was one of the many Palestinian prisoners held under what is known as "administrative detention" where people are arrested on the grounds they plan to break the law in the future.

the average american would have a full on existential breakdown facing ten minutes of what Palestinians go through within their own borders.

Yet on the face of it, many Americans support this since it is effecting Palestinians.
