    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    JERUSALEM, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Israel’s military on Tuesday confirmed the death of a soldier held captive in Gaza after Hamas issued video of her alive followed by images of what the Palestinian faction said was her body after she was killed in an Israeli strike.

    It appeared to be the first time Israel has confirmed such a claim by Hamas, which in the past has said that dozens of hostages from its Oct. 7 attack on Israeli border villages and army bases had died or were missing due to the ensuing Gaza war.

    In the Hamas video, disseminated on social media on Monday, Noa Marciano identified herself on camera and said she had been held in Gaza for four days - indicating it was taped on Oct. 11.

    The video then shows still pictures of a young woman of similar appearance lying, looking sallow and with her eyes closed, on a blood-stained bedsheet.

    A caption said Marciano, 19, was killed “in an air strike by the Zionist enemy” last Thursday.

    The military statement did not comment on the circumstances of Marciano’s death other than to describe her as an “abductee fatality in the hands of a terrorist organisation”.

    The occupiers in Palestine should be treated with the same dignity as the occupiers in Ukraine.

      Right on. The people who are occupying the homeland of the original inhabitants of Palestine should be treated with no dignity and humanity. That’s how moral, civilized people should act!

      By the way, did you know that the original “Palestinians” were Jews until the Muslims went in and conquered it? Crazy to think that the modern day “Palestinians” are the descendants of colonizers who created apartheid states.

          That’s my stance as well. Peaceful co-existence can and should be achieved.

          Only reason I constantly bring up shit like who conquered and enslaved who is because so many people like to claim “who was here first” doesn’t matter, but they inevitably fall back on that outdated logic. At the end of the day, the vast majority of the “pro-Palestinians” I interact with are just anti-Semites. They don’t actually care about a peaceful situation, they just want Israel to get fucked.

          On top of that, a lot of people don’t realize that the Palestinian governments have a history of rejecting peace deals and working to genocide the Jews. So the history and context does matter.

            Peaceful coexistence cannot happen as long as Israel is committing genocide and maintains asymmetric power over the lives of Palestinian peoples.

            At the end of the day, most people are pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel. They are not anti-semites despite the never end ding attempt at saying they are by genocide supporting shills such as yourself.

              Again, everyone who says would be absolutely, 100% correct. If Israel were actually committing genocide.

              Just how conservatives somehow have no clue what the definition of “coup” is, neoliberals have no clue what the definition of “genocide” is. You’re just fucking wrong, you have no fucking proof to back up your claims of genocide.

              What was Israel doing to commit Genocide before October? Blockading Gaza? That’s fucking genocide? You can argue it’s many things, such as a brutal crime against humanity. But fucking genocide? At best, you are utterly fucking delusional. At worst, you’re just another anti-Semitic mouthpiece for Iran.

              Not a single fucking tankie or neoliberal knows what “genocide”, “colonization”, or “apartheid” means. You’re just sheltered fools who don’t know what real, insidious evil is.

                Bro do you not know the west bank exists?

                Every human rights org agrees that Israel is illegally colonizing land and that they are an apartheids state. Many agree Israel commits genocide.

        From your link:

        According to lexicographer David ben Abraham al-Fasi (died before 1026 CE), the Muslim conquest of Palestine brought relief to the country’s Jewish citizens, who had previously been barred by the Byzantines from praying on the Temple Mount.

        That doesn’t sound like the Muslims drove the Jews out of Palestine or killed them all off, it just sounds like a change of government and one that treated Jews better than the previous one had.

          And did they liberate the land? Is Jerusalem completely owned by the Jews today?

          Oh, I see. Comparing lesser evils to say one is good is only okay when it fits your agenda. Does it matter that Israel doesn’t explicitly target children and takes measures to reduce civilian deaths while Hamas purposefully targets civilians and beheads babies in front of their families? No? They’re just as evil in your eyes? But the Muslim conquerors are “okay” because they were nicer conquerors for a time?

          Fuck off you deceptive prick. Conquerors aren’t liberators.
