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?

    I don’t understand what minors and women has to do with it. Only adult men (where adult just means >18yo) can be terrorists? The other points might be valid (or not), but just saying “there are minors and women” means nothing.

      They don’t realize that the very first terrorist bombing against Israel was a woman suicide bomber.
