Boy held by Hamas ‘forced to watch videos of 7 October attacks’, says aunt
www.theguardian.com
Recently released Eitan Yahalomi, 12, suffered ‘horrors’ at the hands of militant Palestinian group, according to family member

“Every time a child cried, they would threaten him with a weapon to shut him up.”

She added: “I wanted to believe that Eitan would be well treated. Apparently not. Those people are monsters.”

Eitan’s whole family, including his mother and two sisters, aged 10 and 20 months, were abducted on what some in Israel now refer to as “Black Saturday”.

    How many Palestinians were forced to watch their loved ones bombed by the Israeli government?

      Unfortunately we live in a world where more than one thing is fucked up at the same time. This poor boy’s suffering doesn’t lessen the suffering of the Palestinians, it only adds to the tragedy.

      You could’ve said this is fucked up and separated Palestinians from Hamas, but you had to flip it into an attack on Israel.

      You can say Hamas is fucked up without mentioning Israel.

        I can also say Israel is fucked up because they’re the ones with a functioning government yet continue to pursue apartheid.

          a functioning government

          Tell me you know nothing about Israeli politics without saying you know nothing about Israeli politics (the country is run by a bunch of literal criminals. Do they care about the Palestinians? No. But do they care about the Israelis who aren’t directly related to them, and even then not always? Also no. If someone told you “Israel the only democracy in the middle east” you’d call bullshit, and you’d be right, so don’t pull out a “functioning government” when it’s convenient. they are run by fascists, standing up to those in power is becoming harder and harder, just look at the last few elections and the reactions to protests)

            most people forget that netty is an “intelligent trump” with the added effect of being that in a parliamentary system, which means alliances by subject can be made and sustain netty in power by further destroying israel from the inside.

            mark my words, nothing hamas can do will hurt israelies as much as netty being in power. also expect the voter dissatisfaction with netty to go to the far-right israeli parties, which will keep netty in power as a scapegoat thus further consolidating the fact that israel is currently governed by far-right lunatics, and there is nothing sane israelis can do about it.

      Yeah, but Saddam harbors Al-Queda and has mobile anthrax trucks. Also, WMD’s. We have to attack before he attacks us.

      Don’t mind the downvotes. History will prove you right, while those supporting this ethnic -cleansing will forget they voted for Bush.

        I dont think most people support ethnic cleansing in all honestly even the people who want to completely dissolve Israel (even though it would most likely lead to an exodus of jews).
