    Instead of “forced to reveal fate in sick video”

    It should say what that fate is and, of course, provide an embedded video.

    Edit after clicking article: No video, just some guy talking over images.

    Downvoted for sensationalism.

      For some comparison, here are the headlines from BBC:

      “Israel Gaza war: Hamas video claims to show dead hostages”

      … and Times of Israel:

      “Hamas airs propaganda clip of hostages Noa Argamani, Yossi Sharabi, Itay Svirsky”

      The Messenger’s headline is trash. It’s so sensationalized that I don’t even know what it’s talking about.

      ? The article clearly states, well, what the claim is.

      The three of them were in a building bombed by the IDF, one died.

      Another died in a later airstrike.

      True? Seems unlikely given the source of the video and appearance if duress.

        Eh. True or not, but Israel strikes without much care and Hamas is known to use hostages as shields. So I wouldn’t call it unlikely, just contextually kinda irrelevant. It’s a shit show and both sides try to get brownie points / make the other one look more inhumane than the other.

    There are 22 comments in the counter until the link but I only see one.

    The only positive here is she is still alive.

    Noa Argamani, who was kidnapped from the Supernova Music Festival, said two other hostages were killed in Israeli airstrikes

        It’d be less credible if the IDF wasn’t shooting half naked hostages asking for help and waving white flags.

        Accidents hardly seem less likely.

        And, quite frankly, they’re probably better off as bombing collateral damage than a Hamas hostage Israel won’t trade for anyways.

    Engaging in the act of actively occupying another individual’s territory, confining them in concentration camps, employing indiscriminate carpet bombing, killing approximately 30.000 and asserting dominion over essential resources such as water, electricity, and medical provisions is undeniably more morally reprehensible and ethically repugnant.

    But yes, hostage (who is an occupier) announcing fate of “hostages” (also occupiers) is sick.

      This is a disgusting attempt to excuse terrorism and victim-blame innocent hostages.

        Innocent? She served in the IDF

        They’re both terrorists. And I have sympathy for neither.

          Military service is compulsory in Israel. You might as well call all Vietnam veterans terrorists and revel in their capture. Absolutely sickening take.

      If you’re going to whaddabout like this, then what about the US and Canada? They are occupied territories. But instead of a timeline of almost 1 century, it’s a timeline of a few centuries. Where do we draw the line? Or should the US and Canada be giving back their territory?

      You’re blaming a victim here based on the circumstances of her birth.

      Or hey, when we’re in that territory, should white Americans be personally responsible for slavery? Any problems a white American experiences should be written off, and have them described with “(who is an oppressor)”?

      Your comment is in terribly poor taste.
