CNN Criticized for Calling Israeli Hostage Rescue a ‘Release’ | Video
Yahoo News ^

Posted on 06/11/2024 3:24:24 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

CNN drew criticism online on Saturday after the cable news network described the Israeli military’s rescue of four hostages Saturday as a hostage “release” rather than a “rescue.” The four hostages had been kidnapped by the terrorist group Hamas from the Nova music festival on Oct. 7.

The term “hostage release” was shown in CNN’s chyron with the network’s anchor Victor Blackwell using it himself, before making a correction since Hamas did not intentionally release the hostages. After discussing a scheduled press conference by Israeli war cabinet member Benny Gantz, Blackwell said, “That was postponed because of the release today of these hostages — or, the rescue, I should say.”

You can watch footage of the Conservatives and supporters of Israel were quick to express outrage on social media at the description of the rescue operation as a “release.”

More than 100 hostages are still held by Hamas. Hospital officials in Gaza said that more than 200 Palestinians were killed and over 400 wounded as part of the Israel Defense Forces operation, according to CNN. Those numbers include 142 bodies counted at Al-Awda Hospital and 94 at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital. Hamas had been keeping captives in multistory civilian buildings, according to Israel’s military.

Consider the sources! At this point, EVERY Gazan and their supporters are terrorists. Like the hippies from the 60's said, you're either part of the solution or part of the problem.

It’s a close one but I hate and loathe the media people more than the politicians.

I think.

They were “released” from some cold, dead hands.

I predicted this when they referred to the hostages as “freed” and not “rescued”. They were warming up.

The 200 killed Hamas terrorists was the negotiation phase of the release.

And IDF continues liberating terrorists from lives of abject insanity, in favor of expedition of their reward in Hur Al Ayn.

With TAQIYYA there is not a political word said by a Muslim that can be believed.

According to Muslims, when the Palestinian fighters die in action they get 72 virgins in the afterlife. But what about the female Palestinian fighters and their children who fall in battle? The guys get virgins, but nothing said about what the gals and kids get. What a screwed up "religion".

Is Islam really a religion? A "religion" that encourages its adherents to commit rape is at the level of caveman barbarism. Islam should not be given respect as if it were a legally recognized theology.

To quote a Byzantine Emperor:

Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.

That's my whole point, of encapsulating it in double quotes. Islam is all about lies, evil and barbarism. The Quran changes meaning depending on the translation from Arabic. The original says kill infidels if they won't convert, while the English translation glosses over that, leading readers to believe it is a "religion of peace". The original reading in Arabic is not about peace, but submission, saying submit or die. Meaning if you don't convert then you are killed. Not a "religion" of peace, but of murder.
