Noa Argamani, an Israeli woman freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza in June, said on Friday that her injuries were caused by an Israeli air strike during her rescue operation, not by a Hamas attack.

Speaking to diplomats from G7 countries in Tokyo on Wednesday, Argamani detailed her ordeal after she was taken captive by Palestinian armed groups during the 7 October attack. However, two days later, she issued a statement on Instagram, saying that some of her remarks had been misquoted and taken out of context.

Contrary to some Israeli media reports, Argamani clarified that she was not beaten or had her hair shaved by Palestinian fighters.

“[Hamas members] did not hit me while I was in captivity, nor did they cut my hair; I was injured by the collapse of a wall caused by an [Israeli] Air Force pilot,” she added.

Thank God she was only held against her will and not beaten or mistreated otherwise.

14,000 dead Palestinian children wish they could say the same.

Judging by the estimated - in a study published in Lancet - almost 200,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza in this ongowing attack and until a few montsh ago, and the proportion of under 18 in that population (around 40%), that number is a serious under estimation and the reality is more likely 4 or 5 times more children murdered by Israel than those 14,000.

My apologies, I just took the first number on Google.

I’d imagine the Palestinians being r*d in detention centers would love to be treated so kindly.

If you’re going to censor yourself, it’s critical to account for the right number of letters, or nobody will know what you’re talking about.

Right now, I’m imagining a bunch of Palestinians on skateboards doing tricks and being fucking RAD.

It’s originally a tik tok thing. The word itself can be triggering to people who have suffered sexual violence. R*d is enough to understand in context without necessarily evoking a similar traumatic response.

Somewhere in the world, somewhere someone else has it even worse, but what does that matter? Can we not take issue with both things?

It’s not somewhere else in the world. It’s being committed by the Israeli state against Palestinian detainees. That’s directly related to someone saying that the rights of the woman were being restricted in being a hostage. There are tens of thousands of Palestinian hostages. Sexual violence, torture and massive violations of human rights are rampant in Israeli detention centers.

Israel also jails children without trial or with a forced confession, and tortures them. Palestinians are jailed without charge, forced into false confessions, routinely tortured, raped, denied medical attention, and sometimes killed as a result

Something her parents would probably say; thank you for adding some perspective and not being a smug asshole about the situation.

Palestinians have no freedom of movement. Every single person in Gaza is being held against their will.

Liberals will, completely unironically, deny genocide and then go to a thread talking about how logically inconsistent conservatives are.

Y’all really don’t have any beliefs or independent thoughts, huh?

You may (or may not) have missed all the massive protests against Netanyahu and the IDF. Whatever. You’re just here to stir the shit anyway.
