Unbelievable, for 15 months they prevented food and medicine to enter #Gaza and when their #POWs released healthy and happy, they come up with these ridiculous cheap #propaganda posts.

Do they elaborate on "special techniques"? Is it "food"?
@TheSealStartedIt
Just remember how many children died of starvation in Gaza and these MFers come up with such disgusting propaganda
The technique is likely feeding the hostages well by not feeding starving people. When you have a bargaining chip, you can't let it die or starve or you have a double negative. The bargaining chip is dead and the other side can say you didn't use all your resources keeping this chip in good health.
No it's a secret technique developed by Hamas... It consists of giving them some compounds like H2O and other disgusting things like animal remains and plants on a regular schedule.... Very nasty and disgusting...

I tried to find the article on jpost.com but I couldn’t find it. Maybe this is just a photoshopped image?
https://m.jpost.com/israel-news/article-839351
This article just references a report from the news site N12 without a link. N12 does not have an English version of their site so I cannot find the report.
Two things: you should learn more about what the people of Gaza have been going through. What you're describing isn't so far off of what free Palestinians have been experiencing under siege.
Second: be more skeptical of news sources and find your news from multiple sources. This whole thread is about how biased the Jerusalem Post is.
The fact that you couldn't even find this article at first and that now you're taking it at face value makes it pretty clear you need to improve your news literacy.

don't waste time with that account, it is either fake or paid,
I want both the people of Gaza and the hostages to be happy. Don’t you?
So I should trust screenshots of article headlines instead of the actual article?
Given the name of the lemmy community that this thread is posted in, is there any possibility that bias influences the opinion of credibility for the article?
Or is that kind of skepticism not welcomed?
Someone posted a screenshot of the article instead of posting the article. I tried to do my due diligence by reading the article to check its credibility but I could only see the websites homepage in the image.
I tried to use the search function to find the article but I’m on mobile and was unable to scroll the search results.
The fact that you want me to trust screenshots of article headlines but not the article says a lot.
So I don't agree with you at all, I think the history of politicized communications out of Israel has been consistent enough and about enough different topics that I think it's fair to have an escalated standard for substantiation. There have been so many preposterous lies or bizarre shifts of emphasis (e.g. we never bomb hospitals!) that the same norms that testify to institutional credibility of reliable sources, in this case do the opposite.
But that said, it's not nothing that there's reporting to this effect, and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed in this community for only replying to you with low effort posts, dogpiling of downvotes, whataboutism and abuse of moderation powers.
To me that represents a breakdown of communication and/or the lack of existence of norms.
One: You can’t feed people sea water. It will kill them.
Two: You can’t undo a year of malnourishment by feeding people the week you release them.
1: the article didn’t say they were only given sea water, just that they were given sea water. And you can live on only sea water for at least 6 days.
2: Isn’t this how they were able to tell they were malnourished?
Bet, try living on sea water bozo...
Everyone in Gaza is malnourished, might have something to do with the medieval siege Israel has enacted. These hostages look better fed than the general public ffs.

I’m not able to find multiple sources for this news so I’m going to follow your advice and be skeptical of it.
"I don't want to acknowledge the hostage said it so I'm gonna pretend it didn't happen"
I think they're correctly pointing out a contradiction in how different sources are being trusted or distrusted. And I don't even agree with them! But it disappoints me to see responses to them that are barely above shitposting.
Good? I'm not telling you to believe it I'm just showing you an example that refutes what you took as fact.
@UsernameHere @leftytighty
they look amazingly well for being starved and in cages.
You really think people believe your outrageous lies?
were they abused and raped as well and had multiple abortions too?
