Arguing with a liberal is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how well you play chess, the pigeon just knocks over all the pieces, craps on the board, spews some unintelligible profanities, and struts around like he won."

Here are the actual stats:
Statistics on Palestinians in the custody of the Israeli security forces

At the end of March 2013, some 4,764 Palestinian security detainees and prisoners were held in Israeli prisons, 415 of them from the Gaza Strip. An additional 1,401 Palestinians were held in Israel Prison Service facilities for being in Israel illegally. The IPS considers these Palestinians – both detainees and prisoners – criminal offenders. A few dozen other Palestinians (we do not have precise figures) are held in IDF facilities for short periods of time. The following data were provided by the military and by the IPS.

It appears most have been convicted of some crime, they are not just being held because they are Palestinians.

Once again another false fun fact by the mirror.
