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.
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?
I’d imagine the Palestinians being r*d in detention centers would love to be treated so kindly.
Somewhere in the world, somewhere someone else has it even worse, but what does that matter? Can we not take issue with both things?
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

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.
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.
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.
Can anyone provide a news link to a reputable source to confirm? Not to say I don’t believe it, just “trust but verify” and I’m unsuccessful in verification
Your account being as new as it is you’ll find that the person who posted only uses specific sources with clear bias.
Not that they’re always wrong but they definitely are pushing a very clear and specific agend.
They also will engage you in bad faith, and being their own “crew” to their posts to drive engagement in the way they want and loudly shout down dissent.
i hate the term trust but verify. It’s such a weird statement. It should really only be used in situations where looking for verification would be weird, or potentially suspect.
This is a warcrimes allegation being made here, this is an “inquire and verify” situation more than anything.

Despite media reporting that she was beaten by Hamas, Argamani went to social media on Friday to say that her words had been taken out of context. She said she was not beaten and her hair was not cut.
“I said, I had cuts all over my head and I was hurt all over my body.” Argamani emphasized that her wounds came from the collapse of a building after it was bombed by the IAF.
“As a victim of October 7, I will not allow myself to be victimized once again by the media,” she said.

Clearly its Stockholm Syndrome…in that to the victims, the capters seemed to care more about keeping them alive than the supposed liberators. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a better example of Stockholm Syndrome since the actual bank robbery that spawned the term
Year old account, very few controversial opinions posted, a few negative point comments, but we all have them. I don’t think they were trying to troll. Perhaps they were trying to make sense of the situation and just improperly applied the term as an experiment to see if it fit. I didn’t block this one, like I do most people who are trolling.
Stockholm Syndrome isn’t a real diagnosis. It’s never been included in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). The guy who coined the term in that original bank robbery never even met with the victim he labeled with it and she had good reason to be more sympathetic to her captor than the authorities that risked and dismissed the value of her life. Not unlike how Israel’s government has been responding to this hostage situation.
I probably could have worded my comment better, but yeah I was comparing the Hamas hostage situation to the original bank robbery in Stockholm where the hostages felt less endangered by the hostage takers than the authorities who were supposed to protect and save them
Why does Hamas refuse to allow the red cross access to inspect hostages?
Well, they are terrorists holding hostages… they may fear the IDF getting intel from them?
I highly doubt the well being of hostages is in hamas top priorities
Israel is a functional democracy and Gaza is a failed terrorist state. They are not equal in any form or fashion.
Israel is not a functional democracy, pretending as much is gross intellectual dishonesty.
