    Respectfully, I don’t know if, er, electronicintifada.net is exactly a good source for unbiased news on this topic. I wonder what the article says…

    Israeli propaganda officials are reportedly upset…

    It truly is a work of science to take “some government propaganda officials are reportedly upset” and somehow turn that into “The entire state of Israel is FURIOUS…”.

    Almost as if the headline was engineered to reinforce pre-existing biases or something.

      Israel’s clamped down on more legitimate sources and is even trying to kick of Al Jazeera (which has consistently led in terms of accuracy in journalism).

      American news isn’t a good source for unbiased news either, but people still post it.

      I honestly don’t know why people post obvious propaganda like this. It’s like they don’t even care about convincing anyone and are trying to undermine their own argument. It’s not as if you can’t find more than enough very critical coverage of Israel in reputable sources. Maybe they’re so far down the rabbit hole, they genuinely think obvious propaganda outlets are more reliable than something like reuters.

    They’re mad because she Criticized the Israel government spending 2 billion for no extra protection.

    But the facts speak for themselves. She was beaten when she first arrived. Received medical care afterwards. Had to be released at the Egypt boarder, because Israel wasn’t negotiating with them.

    But you don’t have to take my word for it, take Israel’s.

    Israel won’t negotiate with Hamas on hostages now, will remove it from power

    October 14, 2023. Avshalom Sassoni/Flash 90

    National Security Council head Tzachi Hanegbi said on Saturday that there are no active negotiation efforts underway by Israel to repatriate the Israelis and some other foreign nationals kidnapped by Hamas last Saturday, saying “there is no way right now to have a negotiation” with the terror organization.

    I would say they are in the middle of a war, but these are some rookie mistakes for 5 billion a year.
