An Israeli woman kidnapped by Hamas militants on October 7 and held hostage for 245 days before being rescued lashed out on Friday at Israeli media outlets that twisted her words to make it seem as if she was wounded by her captors when in reality she was injured in an attack by the military in which she once served.
Responding to reports in outlets including The Jerusalem Post—which on Thursday ran the headline “Hamas Beat Me All Over”—Noa Argamani said on Instagram that “I can’t ignore what happened in the media in the last 24 hours.”
“Things were taken out of context,” the 26-year-old navy veteran from Be’er Sheva said of her earlier comments to Group of Seven diplomats in Tokyo. “I was not beaten… I was in a building that was bombed by the Air Force.”
“I emphasize that I was not beaten, but injured all over my body by the collapse of a building on me,” Argamani added. “As a victim of October 7, I refuse to be victimized once again by the media.”
This will be my last comment to you troll. I really can’t go any further in this (you refusing to acknowledge wartime rape, and even why you think pregnant women are the intended (or collateral )target of conflict, without getting a little sick. Your logic has me questioning if you belong in a civilized society at all.
Thank you. I was seriously growing tired of watching you working yourself off on the strawman you fabricated in your mind. How on Earth you came up with the absurd accusation in this comment in particular is beyond me.
It’ll be interesting to see if you actually stay true to your words.
