Point 1 l: that is just semantics so not really relevant. Hamas could have easily said that they arrested the Israeli hostages for a crime and it wouldn’t have changed anything.

Point 2: I’m not sure that the Palestinians held without charge have any functional rights.

Point 3: That’s just an assumption on both sides of this conflict. Hamas do have access to medical professionals and it is in their best interest to keep the hostages alive. Obviously, Israel does also have access to medical professionals but I’m not sure that the Palestinians have free access to them either. I’d hope that Israel would give medical attention when it’s needed but I don’t know.

Point 4: That’s just rubbish as a general definition of prisoner around the world and the Palestinian prisoners are definitely being used in the negotiations.

Depicting Oct. 7th as an arrest?

Yikes. You really hate Jews.

Is that any different than depicting the slaughter that's occurred since then, with a body count over 10x higher, as 'Israel arresting Palestinians?'

[-] WamGams@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

Was somebody classifying this war as nothing but arrests, or is that a mischaracterization? Be honest with me now.

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

The only person being dishonest here is you. The slaughtering of 1000 civilians at a music festival was abhorrent, and the slaughtering of 30,000 more civilians in response is 30x as abhorrent. Calling the capture and torture of individuals as "arrests" makes you no better than Cheney and Bush with their "enhanced interrogation" bullshit.

I get you are passionate but do you think there is a chance you should check to make sure you are responding to the correct people?
