This article was amended on 23 November 2023 because an earlier version referred to the Palestinian prisoners to be released as “women and people aged 18 and younger”. That was changed to “women and children”
The other wording of israeli Hostages vs Palestinian Prisoners is also damning since many Palestinian children were kidnapped and held hostage by israel without any charges. More Palestinians are being held hostage by israel than israelis by Hamas.
Along with many of their articles using the same type of passive voice for the “deaths” of Palestinians and the “killing” or israeli’s such as the current one. This needs to be mentioned so these outlets start receiving flak for it and start using consistent wording instead of their current biased langauge.
Well The Guardian sure didn’t stand by that one
