I don’t really see how that really changes much to be honest. There seems to be some equivocation going on online between the prisoners and Israeli hostages. While I can understand why from some on social media, given some seem to have gone all in on how Israel is the most irredeemable state ever, it really isn’t. Those who are charged or convicted of crimes are not the same as people abducted from their homes. Even if the crimes of many are minor, they’re still crimes which would see them go to prison elsewhere.
There’d be a lot less questioning of the BBC and Guardian if they didn’t make errors, like misquoting articles or Kay Burley of Sky for asking if Israel views Palestinians less because they are releasing 3 Palestinians for one Israeli. I can’t even warp my brain into thinking how that was portrayed as “evil Israel”; that’s a positive deal for Palestinians, and people wonder why the media get stick over this.
