    Hostages are taken from their homes or jobs with the express intent to threaten their lives, and exchange them for a political outcome.

    Prisoners are apprehended in association with criminal activity, with intent to persue charges and criminal trial. They are held at designated prisons, which are subject to local and international monitoring.

    We don’t even know how many of the hostages are alive or dead.

    This attempt at moral equivalence is repugnant.

      So not a word that describes the people Israel kidnapped.

        While this describes them perfectly.
