This occurred to me while listening to the news. When they exchange people it’s always hostages for people held in Palestine and prisoners for people held in Israel. Why is that? Is it just perception or is there a practical difference?

Palestinians would love to be recognized as a state. Why aren’t they?
Palestine is recognised by the UN. Hamas are not.
Recognized as a non-member observer state, and the countries actively oppressing them currently do not.
The same ones that hand-wring endlessly about a “two state solution”.
Well, Palestinians didn’t take hostages. They mostly tried to survive under an oppressive Terror Regime while the government that claims to own the land did nothing but feed on their misery for political gains. They are victims.
Hamas established said terror Regime and then unleashed their hatred on innocents inside and outside of their domain.
We need to clearly separate those two.
Because they never agreed to the UN partition plan.
I kid of course. If you’re really interested I suggest taking your time to read up on the history of the Ottoman empire post 1800 and then the yishuv and that would lead you to understand the current shituation
