I know this goes against the grain of what is being portrayed but a prisoner is also someone who has done something wrong where a hostage is totally innocent

In that case, given that many of the people kept by Israel have never seen the inside of a courtroom, that would be a biased use of “prisoner.”

I agree there would be more innocent people than average in those prisons. I’m not under any illusion there aren’t some really awful people in there too.

There definitely are, but that doesn’t mean Israel is justified in locking them away without due process.
