The point is that the palestinians are considered "prisoners" while the settlers are considered hostages.

"Prisoners" conveys some kind of legitimacy to their detention like probable cause where there is none.

In both cases, hostages are being kept as prisoners.

Very weird how for Hamas they constantly used the term "held hostage" then.
