Can anyone explain why the huge discrepancy in numbers? The current ceasefire has been in place since January 19 - and has seen 13 Israeli and five Thai hostages exchanged for 583 Palestinian prisoners and detainees.

I don’t understand it.

And some on GN call Hamas freedom fighters?

They are terrorists, nothing more, nothing less. Just brutal, inhumane terrorists. That much is obvious from the way they treat their own population, depriving them of shelter, food, and medicine. Most of the millions given in aid over many years siphoned off to build tunnels, miles and miles of them, and to arm themselves with guns and rockets.
