The huge number of Palestinian women prisoners: 31. And, yes, they are terrorists.

Palestinians and other Israel-haters love to talk about the inhumanity of Israel imprisoning large numbers of women prisoners - wives, mothers, daughters - as if they are there for no reason.  They should be released, we are told, simply because as women they are naturally innocent.

On Palestinian Mothers Day there are rallies in support of these prisoners, with allegations that they are innocent and Israel mistreats them.

How many female prisoners are there?

Only 31, the lowest amount since 2015.

Are they innocent?

Wikipedia has an entry on one prisoner, Israa Jaabis. It narrates the incident that put her in prison following the anti-Israel story:

On Oct. 11, 2015, Israa Jaabis, 31, was en route to her home in Jerusalem, about 500 meters away from an Israeli military checkpoint, when a cooking gas cylinder in her car caught fire. The Israeli military accused Jabbis of intentionally setting her car on fire, which she has vehemently denied and was never proven. A year later, Jaabis was sentenced to 11 years in prison.

Palestinian media emphasize that she was injured in the explosion, as if that is evidence that she couldn't have exploded the gas cylinder on purpose. Initially they claimed that the explosion was an electrical fire in the car, and then they said that a gas cylinder spontaneously exploded nowhere near a checkpoint and she was arrested anyway with no evidence.

The reality: 

A woman detonated an explosive and lightly wounded a police officer near the A-Zaim checkpoint on the road between Ma'aleh Adumim and Jerusalem on Sunday morning.

Police said a traffic police officer stopped the driver, who he thought was driving suspiciously, and approached the car to stop at the side of the road and then walked over to question her. The suspect then left the vehicle and the explosion occurred.

"The driver shouted 'Allah Hu Akbar' (God is great) and detonated an explosive device," a police spokeswoman said.

The woman attempted to ignite a gas tank in her car with flammable materials, while yelling "Allahu Akbar." She then tried to exit the vehicle. Other than the gas tank, there was no explosive device in her vehicle.

Security forces found hand-written notes in her possession that contained messages of support for "martyrs."

Israa Jaradat also had a history of suicide attempts, so it makes perfect sense that she wanted to kill some Israelis in a suicide attack so her family would get lifetime salaries.

Another woman whom Palestinians try to elicit sympathy for is Ataaf Jaradat, who they claim was arrested as collective punishment for her sons being involved in murdering Yehuda Dimentman late last year.

The truth?

The entire Jaradat family are members of Islamic Jihad, and others have been involved in terror attacks. As far as Ataaf is concerned:

Ataaf Youssef Muhammad Jaradat, the mother of the minor and one of the adult suspects, was also due to be charged with failing to prevent the attack and assisting them afterward, as her teenage son had told her about the plans in advance and she helped hide the weapons that they used after the attack, the military said. 

It takes time to research the circumstances of each woman that Palestinians claim were wrongfully arrested, because the Internet is filled with false stories of their innocence. But when you spend the time, invariably you find that these "innocent" women are not at all innocent.
