Comment on In the Hamas/Israel war, why does Palestine have "hostages" but Israel has "prisoners"?
NewDark@lemmings.world 1 year agoPalestinians would love to be recognized as a state. Why aren’t they?
Well, Palestinians didn't take hostages. They mostly tried to survive under an oppressive Terror Regime while the government that claims to own the land did nothing but feed on their misery for political gains. They are victims.
Hamas established said terror Regime and then unleashed their hatred on innocents inside and outside of their domain.
We need to clearly separate those two.
Because they never agreed to the UN partition plan.
I kid of course. If you’re really interested I suggest taking your time to read up on the history of the Ottoman empire post 1800 and then the yishuv and that would lead you to understand the current shituation

Palestine is recognised by the UN. Hamas are not.

Recognized as a non-member observer state, and the countries actively oppressing them currently do not.
