Hamas forces Israeli hostage to reveal two others are dead in ‘guessing game’ video

/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

Further righteous escapades of the darling of the Left, and of Muslim, Christian and atheist Jew-haters everywhere: Hamas. How have the indoctrinated bots screaming for Israel’s demise have so thoroughly deadened their conscience?

The idea from Hamas’ standpoint is, as always, to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).

Hamas uses Israeli hostage to reveal two others are dead in latest sick propaganda ‘guessing game’ video

by Ronny Reyes, New York Post, January 15, 2024:

Hamas forced a female Israeli hostage to reveal the deaths of two fellow captives as part of a sick propaganda video “guessing game” that the terrorists teased over the weekend.

Noa Argamani, 26 — who became the face of the hostage crisis when video showed her being kidnapped from the Nova music fest — appeared Monday in her third Hamas clip to reveal that Yossi Sharabi and Itai Svirsky had been killed in captivity.

An apparent extended version of the video also circulated on social media and included horrifying images believed to be Sharabi and Svirsky’s bloodied corpses being put into body bags. The images of the men’s corpses have not been officially verified.

Argamani said in the latest footage that she had been held in a building with her fellow two hostages by Hamas’ military wing when the site was hit by an Israeli airstrike.

“It was bombed by an IDF airstrike, an F16 fighter jet,” Argamni said in the video, which lasts 2 minutes and 33 seconds. “Three rockets were fired. Two of the rockets exploded, and the other didn’t.

“We were in the building with Al Qassam soldiers and three hostages: Myself, Noa Argamani, Itai Svirsky, and Yossef Sharabi,” she added.

“After the building we were in was hit, we were all buried under rubble. Al Qassam soldiers saved my life, and Itai’s. Unfortunately, we were not able to save Yossi’s,” Argamani ​said.

“After many days​ …​ two nights, Itai and I were relocated to another place. While we were being transported, Itai was hit by an IDF airstrike. He did not survive.”

​As in previous propaganda videos featuring hostages under duress, Argamani condemned Israel’s bombardments in Gaza and levied all the blame against the I​srael Defense Forces.

“They died because of our own IDF airstrikes,” she said. “Stop this madness and bring us home to our families. While we are still alive, bring us home.”

The Israeli Ministry of Defense accused Hamas of once again carrying out “psychological abuse” with the release of the propaganda videos….

Argamani can be seen on now-viral video being abducted from the Nova rage in Israel on Oct. 7 screaming, “Don’t kill me!” from the back of a motorcycle….

The United Nations Must Consider This Torture by Haley Halverson

/in , , , /by

The United Nations must recognize that all individuals have an inherent right to be free from the sexual exploitation, objectification, and violence which are inherently found in prostitution and pornography.

The experiences of physical, mental, and verbal abuse commonly experienced in both pornography and prostitution are consistent with torture and should be addressed accordingly. This is why the National Center on Sexual Exploitation submitted two important reports to help inform the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, Juan Méndez, as he formulates a thematic report on gender perspectives on torture. These documents, The Gender-Based Torture Found in the Pornography Industry and On a Street Corner Near You: Pimps as Practitioners of Torture, addressed research and precedent in international codes that the UN ought to apply to a formal recognition of pornography and prostitution as forms of torture.

This would not be the first time that the United Nations addressed prostitution and pornography as forms of exploitation.

At the International Conference on Population and Development in 1994, it was stated that, “Countries should take effective steps to address the neglect, as well as all types of exploitation and abuse, of children, adolescents and youth, such as abduction, rape and incest, pornography, trafficking, abandonment and prostitution.”(1) The United Nations must continue to build upon this history of recognizing the harms of these interrelated industries.

Due to the advent of the Internet, the problem of pornography has especially escalated to a pervasive and globe scale. An individual in Africa can watch the torture of an American woman, while someone in Germany can be downloading the digital evidence of sexual abuse that occurred in the Middle East.

One of the world’s largest pornographic websites recently released an annual review that revealed statistics on porn consumption by country. By percentage of traffic, the United States was the primary consumer of the videos, followed by the U.K., India, Canada, Germany, France, Australia, Italy, Brazil, and Mexico. The violent and sexualized torture that is inherently part of the nature of pornography must be recognized on an international level.

The treatment experienced by female pornography performers and prostituted persons is often identical to the treatment of women who are recognized as torture victims. It is therefore time for the United Nations to take a stand, and to fight for the dignity of all.
