The New York Post have never been a trustworthy publication in the first place, but calling this headline a shameless lie isn’t even a strong enough way to express the new low the American media’s propagandizing has reached, especially in the last few weeks.

To make such an extreme claim up out of thin air is almost unbelievable even by New York Post standards. This is what western media has resorted to in order to keep those with nominally pro-Israeli views invested in this conflict, and we can only expect it to get worse as the diminishing impact of the shock factor continues.

    The video is only shocking because there’s blood. Otherwise it just looks like a Prisoner of War situation. They are constantly cutting it and only keeping in shocking images or removing all context from each interaction so it can only have the least charitable interpretation.

    From what I could see, they took the prisoners of war (captured from a military base, which is a legitimate military target) to a FOB, interviewed them with questions about where in Israel they’re from and the phone numbers of their family, then loaded everyone onto transport keeps and likely left the active front to go to a more permanent base/camp.

    No one was killed, no one even got hit or hurt. One person was just yelled at because they kept talking and another just said she had a friend in Gaza and gave them her number.
