1. Now we are seeing a strange lopsided exchange of detainees. For as few as three Israeli hostages being released, almost 200 Palestinians would be released.

2. This is because over the 70 years of Israeli oppression thousands of Palestinians had been detained. The Hamas operation could not capture as many Israelis.

3. The oppression and injustice of the Israeli regime is obvious. They have been detaining thousands of Palestinians against international law.

4. The exchange cannot be one to one. Hence the lopsided exchange in which 3 Israelis are released against 200 plus Palestinians being released.

5. The kidnapping of Israelis and making them hostages, succeeded in forcing Israel to release the detained Palestinians in exchange for the hostages.

6. It was a high price that the Palestinians had to pay. But it achieved the objective of freeing the Palestinians detained by Israel.
