Freed Israeli captive Noa Argamani says she was wounded by Israel, not Hamas (www.middleeasteye.net)

Noa Argamani, an Israeli woman freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza in June, said on Friday that her injuries were caused by an Israeli air strike during her rescue operation, not by a Hamas attack.

Speaking to diplomats from G7 countries in Tokyo on Wednesday, Argamani detailed her ordeal after she was taken captive by Palestinian armed groups during the 7 October attack. However, two days later, she issued a statement on Instagram, saying that some of her remarks had been misquoted and taken out of context.

Contrary to some Israeli media reports, Argamani clarified that she was not beaten or had her hair shaved by Palestinian fighters.

"[Hamas members] did not hit me while I was in captivity, nor did they cut my hair; I was injured by the collapse of a wall caused by an [Israeli] Air Force pilot," she added.

Let's recap. I pointed out the woman in the news story was held against her will. People replied that worse was happening to Palestinians. I pointed out that even worse can happen elsewhere. So what? It shouldn't mean we ignore what happened to this woman.

You're the one who came in to tie what happened to this woman to how Palestinians are treated specifically. I took that as approval of collective punishment. Otherwise, what does what this woman went through have to do with r*p in Israeli jails? What are you arguing if not that she didn't have it as bad as victims of her government? How is that relevant unless you think what one Israeli does has relevance to how another should be treated?

The fact that she has been held hostage has been used as justification for the unlawful detainment of Palestinians. The hostages have been the central crux of all of the actions Israel has taken. It's not that it doesn't matter whatsoever that she was taken hostage. It's that her being taken hostage is part of the justification for genocide of Palestinians.

What's that got to do with her being captured and held being a bad thing?

I never said it wasn't a bad thing. Only adding context to the situation. I don't understand what your hangup here is. The Israeli media lied about what happened to her. The Israeli military is taking tens of thousands of prisoners and doing the exact thing they accused hamas of doing to her. That's relevant. A genocide is ongoing based on misinformation mischaracterization and selective omission of information.

Yeah, that came off as callous and victim-blaming to me. Your first comment was that this lady had it good compared to victims of her countrymen. Sounded like collective blame to me.

At least you're not the Dresden guy.

I never said she deserved it, nor that it was right. We can have wider discussions that relate to the content of a post. Conversations wouldn't go far on this platform if we were restricted to talking exactly about the subject of each post.

She is also a victim of her countrymen, to be clear.
