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?

    None of the Palestinian prisoners released today had been imprisoned for “stone-throwing.” One woman stabbed several Israelis with a knife.

      One woman stabbed several Israelis with a knife.

      One woman was “accused by the Israeli government of stabbing people who stole land and homes from Palestinian people” is more accurate.

      One woman stabbed several Israelis with a knife.

      First, “was accused by Israel of stabbing several Israelis” is more accurate. And we know Israel lies. Can you really believe it? Why are they releasing her if she is such a dangerous criminal? It is an apartheid state, there isn’t really true justice there.

      Second, according to my sources, the Israelis that were stabbed were occupiers. I have very little compassion for people who steal people’s land, especially oppressed people’s land, to use as their own.
