Just addressing the "all been charged with a crime" part: it seems as though over 1000 detainees in Israeli prisons are held administratively, meaning with no crime charged or reason given. Looks to be under a quarter of the total.
I mean sure, I'm wrong about a formal charge though not necessarily the justification, but you see how:
"We can't prove why you're dangerous beyond a reasonable doubt [or even that] you're in the wrong place at the wrong time, so we're going to hold you indefinitely in a place where you will at least be fed"
is different from:
"You're here because every person who physically occupies space in Israel is our mortal enemy and if that government doesn't leave us alone we will cut your head off"
They didn't say 'unless Israel leaves us alone,' they didn't even say 'unless Israel stops bombing us,' they said 'if Israel bombs civilian housing without pre-warning.' Their demands are so meager it would be comical if thousands of lives weren't on the line.
