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.

Why didnt you post any of those articles as Lemmy threads then?
Op’s point lacked some defined clarity of context, but your particular subjective posting demonstrates your own inherent bias. It genuinely seems you only feigned objectivity as an attack to divert from exposure of your own bias.
Propaganda posting is propaganda posting, whichever side it comes from.
The person I replied to wrote:
I have listened to, read, and seen dozens if not hundreds of Palestinian stories going into great detail about their lives and suffering. The narrative that the media, and in particular Reuters, doesn’t cover Palestinian stories because they are unworthy victims is patently false. These articles are quick examples of this and I posted them to challenge the perception of some users on Lemmy (Lemmings?).
Reuters is not propaganda, that is abundantly clear.
