Ofir Braslavski watched as his emaciated son, Rom, writhed in anguish on a dirty mattress somewhere inside the Gaza Strip, in video footage released by Palestinian militants in recent days showing the agony of Israeli hostages.

Not sure what to gain from recording such video beside loosing public opinion…
The message is “they eat what we eat”. If Israel starves Palestine, they starve the hostages.
Not that Israel cares. They’ve already killed a bunch of the hostages themselves. Saving them was never the goal.
Well, I’d say the current government doesn’t care. Israeli society at large wants them back at all costs, which is questionable itself when there’s so many dead Palestinians, but whatever.
The other way around. “See? Your starvation campaign is affecting them too” is the point, and it’s working. From the article:
“See, we are as bad as them !” Is not a marketing strategy I would recommend neither
Israel is the one starving the Israeli hostages…
What marketing strategy would you recommend?
Netanyahu is loosing support and look like the bad guy, so not competing with him on being the worst human being would be a good start
It’s “losing”, FYI. Loosing would be, like, untying a guard dog to go after someone.
Just not releasing anything would have been an option. Islamic Jihad might not have a good read on the Israeli discourse, though, and “show that we literally have no food to give the hostages” would have been smart when dealing with a government that at least cares about their own people.
Thanks for the correction, and agreed :)
I guess they are riding on the fact there’s famine and the captives are starving as well. Marketing done wrong if you ask me.
