Israeli October 7 posterchild was killed by Israeli tank, eyewitnesses reveal

Some or all of the hostages that have been released may be suffering from the Stockholm syndrome. For further information on Stockholm go to this link: Stockholm syndrome | Definition, Examples, & Facts

If not under the Stockholm syndrome, then they've been threatened if they don't repeat what they have been told by Hamas to say, the rest of the hostages will be killed. Imagine if some of those hostages are your family members still held.

A third possibility is that you have just been mentally screwed up to the point that you can no longer think or function on your own because of the brutality you watched & experienced first hand. You haven't been able to process it because you are still living it.

With those thoughts in my mind, I can't take what any individual released is saying as being accurate at all. It's just another way for Hamas to spread their propaganda.

What are they saying?

Reports I read and saw have them describing constant hunger, darkness, fear, hopelessness... One of 'em is quoted as saying "We haven't slept ever since and we cry at night."

I haven't kept up with most, but I'll never forget the haunted look in Yocheved Lifshitz's eyes when released. She hugged a terrorist and said they were nice to her. There was blankness in her eyes. It was... strange. They still had her husband held hostage (still do for all I know.) And then there was Yasmin Porat who recently was suddenly released to spread the message that Israel had killed the little girl instead of the brutal terrorist attack on 7 Oct. It's not surprising that Hamas is playing this game, but it *is* surprising that people buy it.
 

It is part of my Buddhist understanding that every "thing" is constantly changing. Being sure of any "thing" is an illusion. That is my basic outlook. So I am not looking to be convinced. It is also my vows to bring peace to those who are suffering. I look for ways to allow conflicts to pass as quickly as possible.
The teachings of the Buddha and Jesus are similar and aimed at self-improvement - not controlling other people. This is the concept of religion Americans apply to all religions. They don’t know how to cope with one like Islam that is a political system with civilian laws for controlling other people and prescribed punishments for breaking the laws. It would be like the Democratic or Republican Parties suddenly announcing they are a religion and throwing some Praise Gods into their platform.
 
How are the rapes of Israeli women being overlooked by other women across the globe? Using rape is a War Crime. Why has this been forgotten by feminist groups? by the U.N.?
Excellent question, Pepper.

I would like to know why they are ignored by the feminists on this forum as well.

Maybe Herd/Sheeple Mentality? No critical thinking skills being used, and taking a stand on an issue because it seems to be "the thing to do." Stuff like that has always infuriated me. There are videos on YouTube where the content creator goes to protests and rallies... asks people what they're protesting. It's very hard to believe how many of them get a "uh, duh" look on their face and say things like "well, I don't know exactly... my friend told me we have to be here." Gotta be fair to those murderous terrorists, by diddly... gotta run with the herd... wouldn't want to offend the murderers and rapists. 😡
 
"In a desperate bid for international sympathy, the Israeli government has sought to stir outrage over the killing of a 12-year-old girl during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on October 7."

I don't think that was a "desperate bid for international sympathy". It was the horrible murder of a child. That in of itself brought anger, sympathy (both, rightfully so) and grief. I'm beginning to think the the term "War is hell" is an understatement! :(

Please bear in mind who posted that anti-Israel propaganda to start this thread, but claims to be neutral. Disgusting and cowardly post.
 
The returned Israeli prisoners looked in good shape. The few I saw on TV. That woman who tried to blow herself and others up, permanently disfigured. Hugged and kissed by another woman. I wonder if she was hugged and kissed on her way to her terrorist attack.

Anyone see this. The man's response is great. Not sure who they are.

I seen it. This was, I believe just this past Thursday.

She is Kay Burley, a presenter for a morning program on Sky News. He is Eylon Levy who is a spokesman for the Israeli government.
 
Was there a particular reason you quoted me to make your statement?
The "blood on their hands" did it because of how I feel about the kidnapped baby! As more news comes out I see traumatized children as well, kids who are also thinner because of a lack of food!
Yep Hamas = monsters!

Well I'm certainly not condoning the kidnapping of anybody for any reason, but surely you do understand that the Israeli's also have blood on their hands, with the 10,000+ civilians killed so far in Gaza.

Seriously, you're suggesting that women on this forum (who may or may not be feminists) are "ignoring" the rape of the Israeli women because they're not here on this forum shrieking about it?

Seriously.
 
You can be sure I have seen loads of uncensored pics, and videos in the past few days from both sides of this horrible war. I don't accept them as TRUTH. None of them, from either side. Context is everything regarding these matters, .....
I've skimmed through your thread Paco, and frankly, having spent months and years reading lots and watching tons of videos from all sorts of involved individuals, I'm always surprised at how little most people know about that 'conflict'. Mind you, I didn't know either until about 10 or 12 years ago either, so I certainly can't crow about anything. But there came a moment when my curiosity was aroused and I was off and running. I tend to be one of those people who, when an idea or issue becomes a bee in my bonnet, is compelled to dig into it in depth.
