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?

This is a question of perspective though.
Obviously i don’t hold their views but I presume hammas has some justification along the lines of Israelis being criminals.
You cannot possibly be serious.
Of course I’m serious.
This isn’t a question of who’s right and who’s wrong. It’s the simple and obvious assertion that all parties think they are right.
Hamas combatants presumably feel their actions are justified.
Hitler probably thought the holocaust was justified.
What an utterly idiotic point.
Why not? For them they are illegal settlers. If someone started squatting in your bedroom, wouldn’t you consider them criminals at some point?
Have Hamas even bothered to accuse them of a crime?
This isn’t the reason, it doesn’t matter if Hamas accuses them or not.
They’re considered hostages because Hamas wants to release them in exchange for something.
Israel imprisons Palestinian as a punishment or to achieve specific goals that are not met by releasing them (like preventing political prisoners from engaging with society).
I don’t think either term is morally superior to the other, but they do have some different connotations…
Sure. Watch their videos
