Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“Every time a child cried, they would threaten him with a weapon to shut him up.”

She added: “I wanted to believe that Eitan would be well treated. Apparently not. Those people are monsters.”

Eitan’s whole family, including his mother and two sisters, aged 10 and 20 months, were abducted on what some in Israel now refer to as “Black Saturday”.

If the media was directly allowed to speak to the hostages after the release this might have been believable. The iron grip that israel has now put on their media however, indicates they are not allowing a repeat of the first hostage released that said she was treated well. This statement was not even made by a hostage but by a family member.

Is this article the truth? Were they forced to watch 7Oct videos or did a Hamas guys just put on the TV? Did this even happen? Is this bad translation such as the 80 year old woman that was "hit with sticks" in translation but in reality it was the sticks of the field that hit her?

It's sad that israel has lied so much in this conflict about beheaded babies, command centers under hospitals and much more. Now it's impossible to believe anything that is vetted by their media.

The physical condition of the released hostages indicates they were not mistreated. As for the mental stuff, it's possible for the IDF to make up whatever they want.
