Is there an explanation for why Palestinians are "prisoners" and Israelis are "hostages"?

Is the implication meant to be that the Palestinians were 'criminals' being punished through imprisonment?

I feel like today is a good day to remind everyone that just last year Barnaby Joyce called on a crowd of cookers to say “goodbye” to 3 Labor MPs inc the PM by getting ready to “load that magazine” & think of a “bullet” when casting their vote.
And received no penalty or censure.

So is ABC or any media going to show us or spk to any Palestinians who are miraculously still alive after 2yrs of daily bombings by Israel? Seems pretty one sided at the moment. Palestinians wrongly held captive by Israel are also being released today, barely a mention.

Just watched the end of Shadow & Bone - fourth time around i think - it’s gorgeous - the plots, the dialogue, the characters. Novel & engaging, it won me over quickly & enduringly. A new series is in order. Don’t leave that terrible incomplete ending 🤦🏻‍♀️ @savethegrishaverse.bsky.social

This October, let's make some noise for all the shows Netflix has sent to the #NetflixGraveyard and those that got revived! All fandoms are welcome to use our hashtag.

Remember to also tag Grishaverse posts with #SaveShadowAndBone and #SixOfCrowsSpinoff so we can establish a community on Bluesky.

This infograph shows an image of a graveyard at night with old tombstones. The Netflix text is hovering in an arch formation over the stones and is highlighted in purple.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?
