Jerusalem Post really looks like a moderate and balanced source of exemplary journalism. /s
When you look up their history, it's pretty wild. The former owner was a conservative that was pardoned by Trump for embezzling millions of dollars from his company. And the current editor was involved in far-right politics before taking his position, which explains why they source some of their content from the New York Post. Not to be outdone, the current owner was investigated by police for allegedly giving Netanyahu positive coverage in exchange for legislation that would hurt a rival newspaper.
Not much substance here.
...the hostage's statements after 8 weeks in captivity is not enough for you? What would satisfy you?
The claim isn't "Lasers shot out of his eyes" or something sensational. The claim is "My jailer was a teacher with 10 kids who is paid by the United Nations in his dayjob." Why does that statement require extraordinary levels of proof?
It's a opinion piece built on assumptions.
That’s not an answer to my question: what evidence would satisfy you?
The testimony of a survivor is not an “opinion piece built on assumptions.” Would you say that a rape survivor’s account is an “opinion piece built on assumptions” if reported in the press?
Ill wait for actual reporting to occur.
This is actual reporting. It was reported by Almog Boker on Channel 13 in Israel. Or is “actual reporting” some kind of new Hamas dog-whistle?
The former owner of this newspaper was in prison for embezzling millions of dollars from his company, until he was pardoned by Trump. The current owner was investigated for providing positive coverage to Netanyahu in exchange for passing legislation that would harm a rival paper. The current editor is connected to far-right political groups, which explains why they source some of their content from the New York Post. They've been criticized for writing false stories in the past, which they deleted when called out on by other governments.
Now, I'm sure none of that bothers you, but I'm posting this for other people for whom that sort of behavior isn't acceptable from a newspaper.
Newspaper is not the source. Almog Boker at Channel 13 is. Look at the original tweet.
But keep up the mental gymnastics to defend Hamas and the corrupt UNRWA.
In 2019, Channels 10 and 13 merged with Channel 10 shutting down and some of its programming and staff joining Channel 13. Now all that remain are Keshet 12 and Channel 13 (internal citations omitted). These channels are largely centrist and balanced in their coverage featuring both right and left-wing views in broadcast debate. While the content of their broadcasting may somewhat shift depending on factors such as if Israel is at war or if major protests are occurring, they generally maintain a neutral standing.

World got sick like that. Some people even say Bin Ladin was cool guy and it was good thing to do 9/11 so I'm not surprised by counter reactions to within this thread disproving hostages testimony if they are not with the terrorists.
you believe Hamas media statements without a second thought but direct testimony from one of the people literally to have been held captive by those cunts is what is a bridge too far? at least your ignorance is obvious
No, first reports are always wrong. Doesn't matter who it is.
this is a stupidly idiotic thing to believe
It's the smartest way to approach news.
It’s a opinion piece built on assumptions.
It's neither classified nor labeled as an opinion piece. On jpost.com those have /opinion/ in the url. Example.
I see no names and a few paragraphs of a victims opinion of who they thought was there and where they thought they were.
The first reports are ALWAYS WRONG.
Cope
Seems the years long rumors of social organizations being infiltrated by jihadists are true. Explains reports of hamas rushing to hospitals with hostages, only for doctors to later say hamas was never there, as well
Interesting that posts where anti-Hamas views are upvoted get removed (the post that was just removed about 9-month old Kfir Bibas being killed in captivity), but the posts where anti-Hamas views get downvoted stay up. Funny that.
I was just in that thread, pretty bullshit huh?
Wonder if it was the mods or the OP that deleted it.
At any rate I'm posting it again
If it gets removed again please report the mod to admins. he is clearly taking sides with his comments and while the first time he deleted the post could be a mistake. if he deletes it again it's clearly because he has an agenda and is censoring things that don't go along with it.
i checked my own user in the modlog and it's clearly too late. I'm out of this antisemitic shithole.

The modlog says it was removed because of a violation of rule 1, (presumably the part about titles not matching.)
- Title on article: "Hamas announces death of youngest hostage Kfir Bibas"
- Title on post: "Hamas announces death of the youngest hostage (10 months old)"
They are very similar. Replacing her name with her age warranted removal? I think that's a shame because there was a lot of good discussion going on there that is now lost.
While there are unconfirmed reports like school field trips to the tunnels the radicalization of gazan children is documented on videos where the teachers make them chant about killing jews.
Unrwa has been caught paying teachers to teach gazN children to hate israel. They had to fire 6-7 recently because they caught them on video.
Idk about you guys, but I'm willing to take Israeli state media at face value every day.
I mean, this is the paper owned by the guy who was investigated by police for giving positive coverage to Netanyahu in exchange for legislation that would hurt a rival newspaper. They seem very trustworthy to me.
Neither channel 13, nor Jerusalem Post, are Israeli State Media?
I'm perfectly ready to believe that among the many people who work for UNRWA, there are some with Hamas. However, UNRWA as an organization does not serve Hamas or their goals, and I'd need some damn good evidence to believe otherwise.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
