    At the same time Israel was releasing Palestinian “prisoners” (largely children and largely imprisoned for petty crimes like throwing stones) they were capturing and imprisoning from the West Bank (where there is no Hamas) roughly the same number of people as they were releasing in Gaza.

      Throwing a stone is not a petty crime, it’s called assault with a deadly weapon

          I don’t know, why don’t you ask Hamas, since they are the experts in killing children

            Suddenly you’re all bashful about slapping labels on stuff?

            It’s OK - we can try another - what do you call a group that’s killed orders of magnitude more children than the “experts in killing children”?

              Also experts in killing children. Who said either of the sides is blameless?

                It’s implied in you running straight past Israel’s actions to focus on condemnation of Palestinians comparatively minor actions - or is there another explanation?
