The family of Noa Argamani is sharing harrowing footage of her abduction in southern Israel earlier today.

The video shows her being taken away on the back of a motorcycle by Hamas terrorists as she screams “don’t kill me” and stretches her arms out to her boyfriend, Avi Natan, who is also being held by Hamas operatives. They were both attending a festival in the south.

Other footage shows Argamani being held in Gaza sipping from a cup of water.

    It’s weird how everyone is taking Israeli media’s word on all this…

    The only other country’s media I’ve seen backing up these claims is India, and they’re one of the absolute bottom countries for press reliability and freedoms. Their “journalists” get thrown in jail (at best) if modi doesn’t like what they write.

    Plus there was that whole thing last year where Israel killed a journalist, blamed Palestinians, and then attacked the journalists funeral…

    Like maybe, just maybe, we should be waiting a second before believing everything that’s being claimed in the first 24 hours of a war…

      What the fuck? There are more than enough terrible videos out to here. Both sides say this is happening. Why would anyone think otherwise?

        In general, yes, it’s a war and terrible shit happens.

        But in a war every side is going to use propaganda.

        Look at “the ghost of Kiev” obviously Ukraine are the good guys there, but that doesn’t mean blindly believe everything they say.

        When one side starts making very specific claims with no proof, and the only countries media backing it up is one of the absolute worst countries for media reliability…

        Maybe wait a day or two for facts to come out before believing every specific story.

        And can you knock it off with jumping straight to personal insults?
