    IMO, since serving in the military in Israel is mandatory for everyone and they are all reservists after that, all israelis are POWs, but foreigners who were taken are Hostages.

    Isn't every POW a hostage? They're at the mercy of their captors.

    You know what war is? You declare an enemy, then
    try to kill him, seize his land, destroy his ability to make war.

    You might shoot him when he's standing tall and wide
    awake, or in the dark when he's asleep - I refer you to Pearl
    Harbor - or capture him, transport him to Gaza City, then
    shoot him. What's the difference? A corpse is a corpse.

    The arabs are at war with Israel, they want to kill every jew
    in the country. And vice versa. If you want outrage, that's
    it. Given that reality, what's so outrageous about killing
    so-called hostages?

    He's a fucking idiot. Nobody follows the Geneva convention anymore. Hamas certainly doesn't. Israel has said there are not only no rules at all in this war, but also there will be no military tribunals for any israeli soldier over what they do in
    this fight. Furthermore, we can go back to WW2 and see how Patton didn't even recognize millions of German soldiers at POW status in order to deprive them of rights as POWs. And, in reality, the United States doesn't follow the Geneva convention
    anywhere they go these days.....even if after the outset of a war they might arrest a soldier for show and imprison him, but then they quietly release him like they did the Navy Seal or LT Calley in Vietnam whose soldiers killed hundreds of civilians
    even children in My Lai. So, anyone who even uses the term "geneva convention" can go shove it up their ass.

    That's how war always was for thousands of years. They had city states everywhere and you'd bring your army, kill or enslave every single human in that city state and then you'd salt the grounds so nobody can go crops their for years.
