I doubt it’s specifically intentional in this case, but the narrative has been guided to imply that the IDF only has prisoners and that hamas only has hostages. It’s more likely just lazy journalism that is rampant. My headline would have been:
“Prisoners and hostage exchange to occur between IDF and Hamas authorities on Monday, as Trump heads to the middle east”
I know people don’t like to use their brains, but words (still) have a meaning.
Someone had to read info and write the article. Someone had to read the article and consider what headline to give.
You can’t even live in a cave and not know about Gaza for the past year or two. People in retirement homes know. Kids in grade school know. Perhaps only those imprisoned by Israel can’t. And you have to have an opinion.
Saying “I don’t have one” is one. Grade schoolers’ and retirees’ opinions aren’t consequential and you can’t blame them if theirs is “wrong”. But for a journalist, and one writing on the topic? It isn’t lazy. It isn’t ignorant. It’s a breach of professional ethics.
Whoever wrote the headline had to consider a few options. It may not fully be their personal fault - someone may hold their paycheck hostage for all we know. But it sure as hell is a fault of the newspaper which promulgates it. A fault history may or may not remeber.
I agree that journalists should be doing those things, but in reality, especially at large journalistic entities they use AI to derive content from previous articles on a topic adding new information.
If they don’t do it themselves, they pick up and republish content from other sources that do.
The system self-reinforces previously used language. Its laughable easy for someone to orchestrate the use of particular language early on and for all the news articles to perpetuate it, without even needing to continuously coordinate it.
It’s extremely intentional and meant to legitimize Israel kidnapping women and children whereas Palestinians are not allowed to retaliate against the concentration camp guards.
This is absolutely delusional point of view, every word is calculated to the smallest detail…ask Obama about the difference between calling them the Israeli families and the people of Palestine
All non-IDF Israeli are torn from their families, crying for their return, missing time from work, apart from their loved ones, living in bad conditions without much food or freedom… And apparently targeted by the IDF under Hannibal.
I can only wonder what happened to actual Hamas hosta- prisoners of war.
Prisoner = captured combatant Hostage = captured civilian
Well that’s clearly not how it’s getting used here

It has to be.

So vibe journalism. That can only end well.
Exactly. It’s been going on for long before LLMs became commonplace.

Ok, but that’s not what the headline actually says.

Oh honey.
All IDF are captured boohoo hostages.
All Palestinians are Khamas.
All non-IDF Israeli are torn from their families, crying for their return, missing time from work, apart from their loved ones, living in bad conditions without much food or freedom… And apparently targeted by the IDF under Hannibal.

hosta-prisonersof war.No, a captured IDF soldier is not a hostage, he is a prisoner.
Not according to CNN
