I'm quite sure the hostages have endured horrific conditions too and I'm glad that for some at least that is due to end soon. I will listen to their stories if/when they feel ready to tell them and acknowledge the pain and suffering Hamas has put them through.
I don't think it's interesting at all that I saw it that way actually. Point me to the empathy you have shown to the Palestinians who have been tortured, starved, violently beaten and gang raped? It read to me like you were justifying the disgusting treatment these people have been put through. Perhaps you weren't and you would like to clear up how you feel about the conditions Israel have kept people under?
