Footage circulating on social media shows Arab terrorists released by Israel as part of the hostage deal, whom some media outlets have sought to equate with the innocent hostages held by Hamas, taking up arms and vowing to continue terrorism.
Dear BBC,
Here’s a Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist released yesterday. Minutes after his release, he’s already armed and vowed to resume fighting against Israel.
1.Does he look like a hostage to you?
2.Does he look starving to you?
Convicted terrorists are NOT hostages.… pic.twitter.com/V6FBMl2O8P
