Well ya. The Palestinians being released have been convicted of stabbing people. The Israelis were ripped from their homes.
This isn't an even swap, this is hostages for prisoners. Framing as a hostage exchange is dishonest entirely.
People? Or israelis? Because stabbing people makes it sound like these Palestinians were just going around randomly killing dudes left and right. Is that what happened, or did they stab members of an army that is currently conducting genocide against them?
Some people don't get to hide behind the "people" moniker. "Stabbing people" and "stabbing an invading genocidal force" are two different things, so let's not act like defending yourself is a crime now, just because the israelis are branding it that way.
How were you able to type this out without becoming self-conscious?
They stabbed people in Israel where stabbing people is against the law.
Is that more clear? Are you trying to say stabbing Israelis is ok? Cuz you might want to be careful about advocating for violence against the civilian public. That typically doesn't end well.
No they stabbed people in West Bank.
Maybe. Because the Israeli courts routinely over charge and convict Palestinians on little to no evidence.
Considering two of the released murdered an Israeli last week, it looks like Israel is doing the right thing protecting their citizens from the clear terrorist threat at their door step. You can claim they're over charging people...while some of those people are refusing to leave as part of an exchange as we saw this week so even the crooks know that sentencing is light.
A. You got a source for that?
B. Out of how many released again?

Should have kept them locked up quite clearly. Should probably lock up more garbage that's roaming around with weapons after that.
Eh, singling out a heterogeneous group of people and advocating for them to be attacked/killed for the actions of a part of that group is so far along the path of fascism as to be indistinguishable from the far right in Israel. Don't succumb to the dark side Luke.
