It's a real choice which part of the story is the headline and which is the subhed.

I think it's hard hitting and eye-catching this way. I read the headline and I'm like, wat, 4? That's a small number. Then I read the next line and I'm like fuck. A pro Israel person might gloss over another headline like the sub-head, but this way begs the question. Potential to change minds

Amazing to me just how many people absolve those pulling the trigger of all responsibility, but then heap that same responsibility on people who ever got killed by that trigger pull. You have other options other than shooting the "human shields" if that's really upsetting them, surprise, it isn't.

Things will be much better for the Palestinians once we get Genocide Joe out of the way. Pity we have to sacrifice the rights of women, lgbtq+, and others, but at least we’ll know that the Gazans will be in a better place after the election.

I saw a post from someone asking if it's really worth sacrificing 210 Palestinians' lives to rescue four hostages. Someone replied, "Yes, Palestinians devalued their lives by staying under Hamas's rule." I put my phone down and just played with my children for a while after that.

This is toxic positivity in a nutshell: "Let's focus on the positives! At least 4 didn't die!" "But over 200 people ARE dead and they shouldn't matter any less than-" "Don't be such a Debbie Downer! Be happy or-" "Or what?" "..." "Yeah, fuck you too."

Easier to get this than the fact-free claims circulated by a known propagandist that the Al Jazeera reporter & family were holding hostages in their home. Zionists still leading the Bullshit Wars by several lengths.

I presume they were going to stop counting at 200. Forgot. Went to 210. Remembered. Stopped counting. Yeah, there were others, but it was just at least 210. The inequality is staggering.

And I'm even inclined to believe they had the hostages before and showed them now to "justify" the killing

Is it Islamic law to endanger your own citizens as much as Hamas has? Unless the argument is all who live there are in jihad and therefore are not civilians.. It’s also a question of human rights if the people there really have no choice

Well if it were up to some people the hostages would have been left to rot indefinitely.

Good reminder that Hamas is keeping hostages near civilians and doesn't care about its people.

Not that this is even remotely the most galling part of this atrocity, but they killed 3 hostages in the process. Two hundred people massacred, and they still only save about half the people they ostensibly care about. The only goal is killing Palestinians. It was never about the hostages.

it's also a real choice of several people in this thread to constantly conflate Palestinian civilians with Hamas. how very convenient to the fascist rhetoric that the civilians that are getting obliterated to wipe out a few Hamas are just, you know, the same, right? they probably deserve it too!

The byline is interesting, too. Feels like the paper assigned one Muslim, one Jew, and a WASP to play the UN peacekeeper between the two.

If you take hostages (first problem) then hold them amongst the civilian population (second problem) then you'll have this situation. But HAMAS is blameless?

It's not about rescue... it's about exterminating Palestinian civilians. There is just no other way a rational person cannot see it... 200+ civilians killed to rescue 4 people.
