KatyPrismSpirit Posted August 23 Posted August 23 How interesting. Noa Argamani, a former Israeli hostage in Gaza, denied in an Instagram post that she was mistreated or that her hair was cut during her captivity, as was suggested in the media. She mentioned that while she was indeed injured, it happened due to the collapse of a building in Gaza that was bombed by the Israeli Air Force. She posted the following statement on IG story: Argamani, who was freed on June 8 during the Israeli massacre in the Nuseirat refugee camp, said that the injuries she sustained were a result of the collapse of the building where she was held captive. Argamani criticized the Israeli media for distorting her words and stressed that she does not want to become a victim again, this time at the hands of the media. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/noa-argamani-freed-israeli-captive-says-misquoted-about-hamas-mistreatment 10 3
KatyPrismSpirit Posted August 23 Author Posted August 23 (edited) It's very telling how Israel is injuring and killing their own hostages that they supposedly want to get "freed" so badly. Netanyahu's goal is NOT the hostages return for anybody who is still dumb, deaf and blind. It's the occupation of Gaza and killing as many Palestinian people as possible. They use these hostages to justify the bombing of as many Palestinians as possible. At the cost of these people in captive's safety as well. Edited August 23 by KatyPrismSpirit 13
Virgos Groove Posted August 23 Posted August 23 (edited) The pro-Palestinian protesters are unironically doing more for the hostages than the Israeli government. The latter made it clear their own civilians are acceptable collateral damage in the pursuit of the Palestinian genocide. Zionism is misanthropy at its worst. Edited August 23 by Virgos Groove 5 1
réveuse Posted August 24 Posted August 24 The irony of Israel killing their own hostages that they claim to care for.
Cyanide Posted August 24 Posted August 24 The hostage argument was always a manipulation tactic. Just shows they only care when white people are in danger
N.M.K. Posted August 24 Posted August 24 (edited) Yes, she's spoken about how relatively lucky she was compared to conditions of other hostages. She also spoke about the horror of being taken and being a literal hostage for months, the trauma she still endured as a hostage (described in that same testimony), and how her boyfriend still is not free. And this comes after six hostages recovered yesterday had bullets in them from their captors…and after testimony of rape and abuse from survivors and freed hostages. Bizarre to cherry pick different stories to fuel your own agenda - which seems to be insinuating that actually being held hostage isn't that bad? Weird Edited August 24 by N.M.K. 4
N.M.K. Posted August 24 Posted August 24 (edited) Generally, and sadly, there has been inevitable misinformation on both the Israeli and the Palestinian side- something common whenever there are contentious, high profile, and widely commented on breaking events and stories. (Example - that the IDF bombed a hospital when it was actually a failed rocket launch from Hamas (source: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1207173798/fake-accounts-old-videos-and-rumors-fuel-chaos-around-gaza-hospital-explosion) but these unfortunate and common fake news stories do not take away the suffering of Palestinian civilians, nor do they take away from the suffering that hostages and their families have and continue to endure. enough of making this some sporting event and fueling blind hatred - these are real people's lives.

Just shows they only care when white people are in danger Most hostages and Israelis are not white. You can easily google and see the faces of Ethiopian Jews and Middle Eastern Jews who have darker skin color than many Palestinians (as well as the Thai hostages that are still held captive) This isn't some Western racial narrative, it's far deeper and more complicated than that. 1

Ethiopian Jews and Middle Eastern jews who face racism/discrimation from other Israelis??? Most of them are descended from European jews so they're technically "white".

heckinglovato Posted August 24 Posted August 24 That one Zionist user always RUSHING to contest the "Israelis are white" argument by mentioning Ethiopian and Middle Eastern jews as if Ethiopian/Moroccan/Tunisian jews are natives to Palestine anyway "The hostages' skins are darker than Gazans" ok but Gazans actually belong to that land 2 1
