Well that is a pretty stark contrast from the testimony from the HAMAS hostages.

Obligatory: I do not condone violence from either side and want the violence and apartheid to end.

Edit: changed a word as to not cause confusion

They are hostages not prisoners. The difference is not small so your choice of words says all we need to know about your perspective.

Congratulations you correlated semantics with intention. Are you saying there is not a difference between the testimonials? Because that is the point in my comment. I want the unnecessary civilian deaths to stop. What are you arguing for?

NO. I SAID THAT CALLING HOSTAGES PRISONERS IS DISINGENUOUS BULLSHIT. you might as well tell us they were lost and now have been found.

Her husband still remains captive. Seems pretty obvious she’s saying nice things for her husband’s safety. Gurantee you she’ll change her tone after he’s released.

Same and worse was said by the prisoners who came from Israel. Some kid who were in Israel’s prisons came back with broken hands, fingers and skulls while Hamas prisoners went back fine. This picture says all:

This is more than a little off-topic, but that man is wearing two watches.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Most hostages released during a six-day-old truce have been rushed to hospitals out of sight in a country still reeling from the shock of their abduction during a Hamas rampage on Oct. 7 in which Israel says 1,200 people were killed.

The families of two girls who were held together found it hard to hear their children on their return home because they spoke only in whispers.

Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, abducted on Oct. 7 and set free two weeks later, said she confronted Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar while in captivity and asked him how he was not ashamed for having acted violently against peace activists like herself.

Ahal Besorai said his niece and nephew, Alma and Noam Or, 13 and 16, and a woman in their room had shared a diary, but the children were prevented from taking it when their captors removed the two of them.

He told CNN the children thought they were being taken to the toilet but the militants “handcuffed them, blindfolded them, (and) took them to the car that took them to the place where they were being handed over to the Red Cross.”

One Israeli mother, Daniel Aloni, wrote to thank Hamas’ armed al-Qassam Brigades before her release with daughter Emilia.

  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
