The undated 37-second video of Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38, released on Sunday night showed them speaking presumably under duress, pleading with Israel’s government to end the war and get them home.
The clip ended with a Hamas caption that on Monday, “we will inform you of their fate”. Israel has blasted such videos as psychological warfare and insists it will not be deflected from its goals in Gaza, after Hamas launched raids into southern Israel on October 7 that claimed 1,200 lives.
Among the targets was a music festival from which Ms Argamani and her boyfriend were seized. An early clip released by Hamas showed her pleading for her life as she was taken away on the back of a motorbike.
Yeah they were fed well at the beginning but then israel blocked all food and medicine
Which is why there wasn’t much food and medicine. The hostages even said that their Hamas captors divided it equally among them, giving them just as much as they had themselves.
You are not describing the treatment of the hostages, you are describing how the Palestinians are being genocided.
There is no contradiction. Many of the attackers on Oct7 were ill informed, rogue militia or from another group. There is even a video in t he israeli propaganda site of Hamas trying to stop a mob from hitting a hostage on a bike. The mob did not understand that they are not supposed to hit hostages.
Hamas isn’t an organised army like israel is. Oct 7 was a secret operation, how much coordination do you think they had?
A few people commit crimes (which is very bad, no non-IDF should have been killed on oct7) does not mean that it is a doctrine from the top down. On the contrary the 1/3 military kills and only 36 children dying out of 1139 deaths (and most kids were killed by israeli tanks) suggest that the doctrine from the top was very clear: Attack military bases and take hostages alive.
Whereas with israel we can clearly see that the top of their army is advocating for the genocide of all Palestinians that their soldiers are committing by deliberately ordering bombings of hospitals, schools and refugee camps.
They murdered 1200 people.
