Comment on In the Hamas/Israel war, why does Palestine have "hostages" but Israel has "prisoners"?

This sounds like a really idiotic bad faith question.
Hostages are used as meat shields and can be executed at any time, and typically innocent of any crime.
Prisoners are found guilty of a crime by a court system and then safely put away, since they have still rights.
