        1: the article didn’t say they were only given sea water, just that they were given sea water. And you can live on only sea water for at least 6 days.

        2: Isn’t this how they were able to tell they were malnourished?

          Everyone in Gaza is malnourished, might have something to do with the medieval siege Israel has enacted. These hostages look better fed than the general public ffs.

      Two things: you should learn more about what the people of Gaza have been going through. What you’re describing isn’t so far off of what free Palestinians have been experiencing under siege.

      Second: be more skeptical of news sources and find your news from multiple sources. This whole thread is about how biased the Jerusalem Post is.

      The fact that you couldn’t even find this article at first and that now you’re taking it at face value makes it pretty clear you need to improve your news literacy.

        I want both the people of Gaza and the hostages to be happy. Don’t you?

        Second: be more skeptical of news sources and find your news from multiple sources. This whole thread is about how biased the Jerusalem Post is.

        So I should trust screenshots of article headlines instead of the actual article?

        Given the name of the lemmy community that this thread is posted in, is there any possibility that bias influences the opinion of credibility for the article?

        Or is that kind of skepticism not welcomed?

        The fact that you couldn’t even find this article at first and that now you’re taking it at face value makes it pretty clear you need to improve your news literacy.

        Someone posted a screenshot of the article instead of posting the article. I tried to do my due diligence by reading the article to check its credibility but I could only see the websites homepage in the image.

        I tried to use the search function to find the article but I’m on mobile and was unable to scroll the search results.

        The fact that you want me to trust screenshots of article headlines but not the article says a lot.

        I’m not able to find multiple sources for this news so I’m going to follow your advice and be skeptical of it.

        be more skeptical of news sources and find your news from multiple sources.

          “I don’t want to acknowledge the hostage said it so I’m gonna pretend it didn’t happen”

          Good? I’m not telling you to believe it I’m just showing you an example that refutes what you took as fact.
