  Neither did Israel though, for the thousands of hostages they hold.

    Do you really believe this? They absolutely hold trials. Im not promising you they are all legitimate but they hold trials. Hamas kidnapped people. There is a difference.

  I think the implication was that the prisoners are actually hostages too.

    Which is simply not true. Israel tries the people it seizes/kidnaps/arrests whereas Hamas does not. Im not promising you that all the trials are legitimate but they happen. Israel is theoretically a aociety under rule of law.

      Is this something you know from living in Gaza, or something you’re repeating that you saw online?

        You can find videos of trials, news stories about trials, reports from the government on how they handle these things. Im not claiming they are fair but they exist while Hamas is just straight kidnapping people.

  Did Hamas provide trials for the hostages for the specific crimes they were accused of?

  Did Israel?
