    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.

      Anything from Rapidcreek@lemmy.world is certain to be propaganda.

      They’re a genocide supporter.

      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.

    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.

          Hamas hostage Israel won’t trade for anyways.

          However, the Israelis already did trade for hostages. But not for those that live rent free in some folks minds.

                I think you’ll find I’m actually Bibi blaming, because he wanted this all to happen to cement his fascist rule, and he doesn’t care how many people die to do it.

                He doesn’t want all the hostages, he needs excuses, just like how Bush refused the Taliban turning over Osama Bin Laden for a ceasefire.

                  Bibi will be out the door when the shooting stops.

                  The Taliban never had bin Laden to hand over.

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

    The only positive here is she is still alive.

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

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

            You can take the 30 days in prison instead, and many do. If you know that military service involves being an occupying force (as opposed to just dicking around with guns like in other countries), the moral choice is to do the 30 days.

      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.
