        Please point me to the international law (I assume you mean the Geneva Convention) that says that you can’t take prisoners.

          I said you can’t illegally detain people without charge, not that you can’t take prisoners. A large number of Palestinians are held without charge in Israelz and in the past few weeks that number has sky rocketed with many arbitrary detention.
