Those people are not prisoners they are hostage too. It doesn't matter their age.

Israel has won the ground war and lost the war of public opinion.
Having an indicted war criminal as Prime Minister will do that

Israel taking it's own hostages in the conflict I see.
Hypocrites.

The title is correct--Israeli hostages. Palestinian prisoners.
Prisoners who were imprisoned for murder and terrorism.

Here we are we the usual propaganda from Netanyahu, based of no evidence and false claims. Please read the Amnesty Internationals and Israeli human rights organization horrifying cases of torture and degrading treatment of Palestinian detainees amid spike in arbitrary arrests, and NOT the IDF military dispatches

Not really, as Hamas has not surrendered and is still holding abducted people in underground dungeons.
The opinion of that part of the public that knows nothing about the conflict except what the biased legacy media tell them, yes. Sadly it has been like that for years.

As this winds down, the country of Israel stands strong while the plight of the Arabs occupying Gaza remains chaotic, due to their terrorist-bent leadership.
NB
The healing of the deeply wounded Middle East entails the fulfillment of the following elements:
1) An Arabic Palestinian state should be established next to the state of Israel.
2) Israel should continue its principal mission of serving as a refuge for Jews and for Judaism, but also continue serving as a home for Jews, Arabs, and various other ethnic groups.
3) The borders, and all other arrangements, should be derived from the needs of the peoples on the land. These needs are related to security, connectivity, space for agriculture, space for housing, space for industry, and sentiments towards the land.
4) The Palestinian Arabs (who arrived to the land in the framework of the Muslim conquest of the entire Middle East at the 7th century AD) must renounce their false consciousness of being THE indigenous people and the exclusive "home owner" of the land.
5) The homeless people of Gaza should find temporary refuge at a hospitable place, until their homes are rebuilt (in a better and more modern fashion).
Failure to implement any of the above elements would incur further death, destruction, suffering and misery at a cataclysmic scale.
