Freed Israeli captive Noa Argamani says she was wounded by Israel, not Hamas

Noa Argamani, an Israeli woman freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza in June, said on Friday that her injuries were caused by an Israeli air strike during her rescue operation, not by a Hamas attack.

Speaking to diplomats from G7 countries in Tokyo on Wednesday, Argamani detailed her ordeal after she was taken captive by Palestinian armed groups during the 7 October attack. However, two days later, she issued a statement on Instagram, saying that some of her remarks had been misquoted and taken out of context.

Contrary to some Israeli media reports, Argamani clarified that she was not beaten or had her hair shaved by Palestinian fighters.

“[Hamas members] did not hit me while I was in captivity, nor did they cut my hair; I was injured by the collapse of a wall caused by an [Israeli] Air Force pilot,” she added.

Clearly its Stockholm Syndrome…in that to the victims, the capters seemed to care more about keeping them alive than the supposed liberators. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a better example of Stockholm Syndrome since the actual bank robbery that spawned the term

Surely nobody is surprised

Clearly, this woman is Hamas. /s

More seriously though, Hamas not mistreating her beyond the initial act of kidnapping makes sense. The entire purpose of taking hostages is to use the threat of harm as leverage. So there’s incentive to keep them in relatively good condition, because as soon as anything happens to them that leverage is lost. Of course, people don’t always remember that, and the whole thing relies on all parties involved at least pretending to act in good faith.

Any idea why Hamas doesn’t execute hostages? Not to sound callous or anything. Just curious if you know if their religion forbids it or something

Because if Hamas executed the hostages, they’d have even less bargaining power than they already do. Unfortunately, Netanyahu doesn’t seem to care much about the hostages anyway.

That would defeat the whole point of taking hostages in the first place.

Seems they didn’t count on Israel being willing to kill hostages.

Keeping in mind that I’m not an expert on Islam by any metric, I don’t think there’s any religious prohibitions, because executing people was something that ISIS was notorious for. I’ll also note that this tendency was one of the reasons everyone else in the region dogpiled them.

If they wanted to kill the hostages, they would have just killed them instead of taking them hostage. The whole point of a hostage is that it increases your power at the negotiating table. It gives you leverage. The hostage is something to trade in exchange for concessions, or the threat of harm to force the opponent’s cooperation. Neither of those work if the hostage has been killed or harmed, because any bargaining power you would have had from holding them goes right out the window as soon as the hostage is killed.

Neat, and then what happened? Nothing.

Thank God she was only held against her will and not beaten or mistreated otherwise.

Something her parents would probably say; thank you for adding some perspective and not being a smug asshole about the situation.

14,000 dead Palestinian children wish they could say the same.

Aceticon ,

Judging by the estimated - in a study published in Lancet - almost 200,000 Palestinians killed in Gaza in this ongowing attack and until a few montsh ago, and the proportion of under 18 in that population (around 40%), that number is a serious under estimation and the reality is more likely 4 or 5 times more children murdered by Israel than those 14,000.

Liberals will, completely unironically, deny genocide and then go to a thread talking about how logically inconsistent conservatives are.

Y’all really don’t have any beliefs or independent thoughts, huh?

You may (or may not) have missed all the massive protests against Netanyahu and the IDF. Whatever. You’re just here to stir the shit anyway.

I’d imagine the Palestinians being r*d in detention centers would love to be treated so kindly.

If you’re going to censor yourself, it’s critical to account for the right number of letters, or nobody will know what you’re talking about.

Right now, I’m imagining a bunch of Palestinians on skateboards doing tricks and being fucking RAD.

AmidFuror ,

Somewhere in the world, somewhere else has it even worse, but what does that matter? Can we not take issue with both things?

givesomefucks ,

Obviously…

Someone was posting literal propaganda the other day (MBFC legit outright said it was a propaganda source) that said hostages had bullet fragments “in and near” them. Then jumped to the conclusion that Hamas shot them immediately before the raid because they knew IDF was mighty and strong or some shit.

Israel has been showing us for almost a year they dont give a single fuck about the hostages, they were always sacrificial lambs. An excuse to flatten the area they were being held so Israel can then move more rightwing Jewish extremists in.

I wouldn’t rely on MBFC to recognize propaganda. Look at the difference between VOA news and Al Jazera.

Fun fact, they’re both government rags. VOA was legally barred from broadcasting where Americans might hear it because it was propaganda. Al Jazera is operated by Qatar.

In any case, Israel has been full of shit since this began. And Americans have bought that hook line and sinker.
