Israeli hostage Noa Argamani freed in time to see her terminally ill mother
Hours after being rescued from eight months captivity in Gaza, freed hostage Noa Argamani arrived at a hospital in Tel Aviv to see her terminally ill mother.
Argamani, 26, was one of the most recognized faces among the hostages abducted by Hamas on Oct. 7. Harrowing footage of her being taken into Gaza on the back of a motorcycle, pleading for her life and reaching desperately towards her boyfriend being marched alongside her on foot circulated across the globe.
Note how there is worthy and unworthy victims?
We get a detailed story about her to humanize and empathize with the Israeli victims. There is nothing wrong with that. However we do not get these kind of accounts for the tens of thousands of Palestinians murdered by Israel. We do not get these detailed accounts on how being raped and tortured in Israeli "administrative detention" aka Israeli hostageship destroys children, women and men.
This strategy is used to justify the atrocities against the one group by dehumanizing them, while humanizing the group of the perpetrators. This is fascism in real time. And it will be the moral, political and ultimately human downfall of all of the allies of Israel.
Thank you. It's the easiest propaganda to consume. It's important to recognize it for what it is.

Closure of Gaza's only route out leaves boy, 10, with no treatment for cancer
GAZA, June 4 (Reuters) - Siraj Yassin, 10, is rolled into the overcrowded Gaza hospital ward in his wheelchair, his light green T-shirt dwarfing his skinny frame since the leukaemia in his blood wrecked his immune system, sapped his strength and left him unable to walk.
Chemotherapy would help him, his doctors say. But he can't get it here in Gaza, and he can't get out of the enclave for treatment now that Israeli forces have shut the only exit through the Rafah crossing into Egypt.
No mention of the 200+ Palestinians killed, including women and children.
Nice for her, not nice for all the Palestinians whose lives were not terminated until this war started.

Hey, what a great occasion to talk about the uselessness of these rankings.
Calling out media for outright lying is great, but the way their "bias" is judged is almost always tied to where they are perceived to be in a left-right spectrum, where being "centrist" is considered to be "not biased", even though the political center is defined by a given society's current political and ideological paradigm - not because it is "objective" or "unbiased". This way, "lack of bias" becomes a slur to throw against anyone who doesn't conform to the stablishment.
Furthermore: lack of bias is impossible. Adding to what the other comments are saying: if you wanted to comment and report on this hostage's situation and experience without bias, you should dedicate similar amounts of time and effort to inform about every victim of this conflict, whether they're died to a missile, they were taken hostage, they were taken to prison in the West Bank without legal guarantees, they died to direct fire, or they're suffering hunger.
To illustrate this issue even more clearly: every few weeks if not more often, we get a report on an Israeli who is given a name, a face, a family, and a context of what's their family context, and they're usually young women. Media does report on the number of reported Palestinian victims (along with Israeli officials and their allies saying that the sources shouldn't be trusted, no matter what the sources are), but how often are those victims given a name, a face and a story on their life?
Wow the islamists are mad they got her out alive. I bet she has some stories to tell.
Are you calling people commenting in this thread Islamists? Can you point out their comments please?
@blahsay @DolphinMath they have trying to give them back for months, but the Zionists just wanted to murder innocent people
Got a source to go along with that claim?
Yeah, everyone who claims to care about preventing human suffering is seemingly fine with it as long as it happens to Israeli people. Isn’t that funny? Like, they’re all, “Oh no, don’t kill thousands of innocent Palestinians!” but when Hamas kills an Israeli person they just go on and on about how many palestinians have died. Like can’t you care for a second about the cost this war has on Israel? I can’t imagine how much Israel has spent on bombs in this war. It must be an eye watering amount. So sad.
