    Wow that’s a leading a title.

    The guy lost his arm in an explosion during the Oct 7th raid, it appears to have been treated well as it’s healed up in the screenshot and he looks clean and relatively well cared for.

    His hell as he apparently describes it is being locked up and not seeing the sun, which would certainly be horrific as I’m sure many prisoners across the world can attest to.

    The 70 dead are allegedly from Israeli bombings, although we have neither ability to confirm or deny what’s caused ~half the hostages to die since Oct 7. I’d bet good money on it being multifaceted with both sides to blame.

    All in all a fair cry from the mental images the title invokes of a secret torture dungeon where they’re chopping hands off.

    If you want to see above ground hell, go look at the NSFL photos of Palestinian prisoners (Some are very young children) of Israel and read their accounts of torture, rape, and murder at the hands of the IDF.

    For none Australians unaware of the source, News.com.au is a Murdoch rag. Sensationalism and clickbait titles are to be expected.

          It’s a form of bothsidesism.

          “You denounce Israel but not Hamas in your post? You must support Hamas!”

          You downplay it as sensationalism in you last paragraph also.

            So I concede that some deaths may be attributed to Hamas and that is excusing them to you? Odd take.

            My last paragraph is also an attack on Murdoch media, something everyone should be behind.

              It’s an obvious attempt to make Israeli violence seem more valid than other types while trying to downplay Hamas violence.

                As opposed to the article, which is clearly unbiased?

        No they fucking didn’t. They mentioned specifically that the deaths are probably multifaceted. As you don’t seem to understand that word in the sentence they used, I’ll explain. Both the IDF and Hamas are likely (means probably) to blame. Go fucking troll elsewhere if you’re not mature enough to discuss a war which has killed thousands.

          In other words, Israeli violence = Israeli are to blame, Hamas violence = both sides are to blame

            No, hasbara - it’s really simple.

            Israel is to blame.

            See? Real simple.

        Shani Nicole Louk.

        What Hamas did to her was unforgivable. They must die along with any Palestinian who refuses to condemn them. The bombs will not stop and nobody will come to aid Gaza.

        The world is so sick of the flaccid jihads and, frankly, the Muslim religion as a whole. Fucking grow up. We are desperately trying to leave you behind.

          No, hasbara - I will not condemn Hamas.

          And plenty of us are getting sick of white supremacists like you and your precious little kapo state.

            If you won’t condemn Hamas’ cowardly attack and rape of civilians, then you can join them beneath the rubble of your precious state.

              If you won’t condemn Hamas

              Again, hasbara - I will not condemn Hamas. They have done absolutely nothing that deserves it.

              cowardly

              Riiight… they aren’t the ones massacring tens of thousands of civilians from the sky or using starvation as a tool of genocide - but they are the ones who are “cowards.”

              Try again, hasbara.

              and rape of civilians

              Are you still peddling this propaganda, hasbara? Who do you expect will still believe you?
