    Why does the article call the people held by Israel “prisoners”, but the people held by Palestine “hostages”?

        The Israeli prisoners were detained and arrested.

        The Israelis held by Hamas have been given many more rights than the average Palestinian prisoner.

        This is an outright lie, Palestinians are being amputated because of zipties to their limbs

        Again, Israel has no interest in “rehabilitating” its hostages, whereas Hamas is specifically offering to release theirs.


        At worst this is hostages on both sides. Your assessment only proves how much more hospitable Hamas have been to its captives than Israel, even at a time of war and famine brought on by Israel’s onslaught.
