The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

The vast majority of Palestinians detainees aren't security threats in the first place. Israel has a long history of mass detainment without due process. Most are victims of systematic oppression that has gone on for decades.
If you're looking at the numbers alone, then it might seem like a bad deal. However, trading numerous non-threats, especially women and children, for a few hostages is actually seen as a good deal to them. Israel is able to continue its mass detentions with impunity, so they always have a considerable number of Palestinians they can trade for various reasons.
If this is something you genuinely would like to learn more about, then I'd suggest starting with the following article from Human Rights Watch and then expanding more from that. I didn't pick this article for any particular reason. You can find an incredible amount of information on this topic and this was just the first I found with a simple search. Just be mindful of the information source. It's hot topic with a lot of misleading information out there.
Because Israel still has control Gaza and The West Bank. They still have more hostages
What is bad about it, in terms of what they are trying to achieve?
