Right now the Israeli's have 1,000,000 Palestinian civilians imprisoned in
their own homes. To date, there have been *6* militants arrested.

I wonder where you get your information from?  please share...

The front page of The Guardian (not an infotainment channel). The online
version:

So far, the onslaught has produced few tangible results for Israel while
reducing Palestinian towns to smouldering wrecks, penning tens of thousands
in their homes for days, and provoking shortages of food and other vital
supplies.

After Israeli helicopters and tanks bombarded a security compound in
Ramallah for nearly 24 hours, a government spokeswoman announced the capture
of just six wanted Palestinian militants. There was no sign that the house
to house searches of West Bank cities had uncovered any well-known fugitives.

so when you said that "to date, there have been *6* militants arrested" you
meant to say "in that one attack", ah.  Also, I really haven't heard of any
towns "reduced to smouldering wrecks" - I guess I don't read the same
sources you do.

The CNN merely says 1,100 have been arrested, it does not even say what the
charges are. I wonder when we will see the evidence these arrests are based
on? The 10th of Never I expect.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.  I'm a lot more trusting in the Israeli
justice system than you are, of course.
