>>> Gazans still hold Israeli hostages,

I believe that capturing POWs is fairly common when at war.

Capturing soldiers, sure, but that's not what happened.

The whole point of capturing soldiers is to keep them from returning to the field. You deny the other side fighters.

Hamas raped, murdered and kidnapped civilians.

There are hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilian "administrative detainees" who would love to know why you're not as concerned about them being held.
Link to show hundreds of thousands of detainees in Israel?

That seems like a massive exaggeration.
