Wow, what a great ally! The greatest one could say. /s
Note that when Israeli civilians are held in Gaza, they were “kidnapped” and are termed “hostages,” but when Israeli jails Palestinian women and children with no charges or judicial process of any kind, they do not receive the benefit of the same designation in Western corporate state media. That’s how subtle propaganda can get, and it’s easy to miss it if you’re not attuned to the pettiness with which these organizations play semantical games.
Noticed this when I heard a news report on the radio. The news called the Israelis hostages and Palestinians prisoners. I picked up on it right away. Very subtle propaganda.
