Original Note:
Palestinians are not hostages. A hostage is “someone who is taken as a prisoner by an enemy in order to force the other people involved to do what the enemy wants”. There is no enemy or demand being made. Linguistic appropriation is a tool to delegitimise actual hostages. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/hostage
