Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

They randomly go into Gaza and imprison thousands of Palestinians from military orders and prosecuted in a closed military court. Some figures are as high as 1 in 5 Palestinians are arrested in their life life.

But they don’t call them hostages. They have been used in prisoner exchanges in the past. Women snd children are not off limits.

So it comes down to how you define hostage.

I’m sure many were probably bad people with bad intentions but the way it goes down is sketchy at best, they are arrested by people they can not vote for and many have no representation.
Indeed. Didn't think about that angle.
