Israel has always taken hostages. It has 6 million Palestinians held hostage under its brutal military colonial apartheid rule. It has more than 10,000 hostages in its prisons, including children, all of whom are tortured because torture is legal for non-Jews in Israel. Most of those are imprisoned without charge or trial and for the children it is often for the 'crime' of throwing stones.
A hostage is anyone held as a bargaining chip and what is why Israel kidnaps children in the middle of the night and imprisons them, takes them hostage, to force their parents not to resist the occupation.
The only time Israel has ever negotiated with the Palestinian Resistance is to get hostages back. If that is the only bargaining chip an oppressed and brutalised people have then of course they will use it.
Zionist Israel has a long list of crimes going back 75 years, all committed to maintain occupation, colonisation and apartheid.
The atrocities committed by Zionists/Israelis/Jews go back more than 75 years. Terrorism and hostage taking has been the Zioraeli way from the start.
Quote: A history of war crimes
In October 1951, the Israelis raided Gaza, killing dozens of Palestinians and Egyptians, demolishing dozens of houses, and blowing up wells to curb the attempts by the expelled Palestinians to return home across the new borders erected by the Jewish settler colony.
At the time, foreign observers did not mention Israel’s 'right to defend itself' and called the massacre 'an appalling case of deliberate mass murder'
Earlier, in August 1949, Israeli soldiers captured two Palestinian refugees. They killed the man and 22 soldiers took turns raping the woman before killing her. In March 1950, Israeli soldiers abducted two Palestinian girls and one boy from Gaza across the new border.
They killed the boy and then raped the two girls before killing them. By then, it was quite common for Israeli soldiers and police to rape female Palestinian refugees attempting to return to their homes, a practice that was widespread during the Nakba a few years earlier.
In August 1950, for example, four Israeli policemen raped a Palestinian woman picking fruit from her family’s orchard across the West Bank border.
Israeli raids on Gaza would continue in 1952 and 1953, culminating in the Bureij refugee camp massacre in August of that year. The Israeli military unit 101 killed at least 20 Palestinian refugees, including seven women and five children, by throwing bombs through the windows of their huts while they slept and shooting those who fled. Dozens were injured. Other sources put the final tally of Palestinians killed at 50.
At the time, foreign observers did not mention Israel’s “right to defend itself” and called the massacre “an appalling case of deliberate mass murder”. That same year, the Israelis slaughtered 70 Palestinian civilians in the West Bank village of Qibya, which even the Indianapolis-based, pro-Israel National Jewish Post compared to the Nazi massacre at Lidice.
