Zionist Talking Points“The images leave no room for doubt,” he said. “It’s shocking and reminiscent of dark scenes from the past. He looks like a brand plucked from the fire.”
In this article, the narrative is framed in a way that implicitly legitimizes the condition of the hostage, Evyatar, as a result of security measures rather than a violation of human rights. The term “brand plucked from the fire” serves as a euphemism, obscuring the harsh reality of his physical degradation and suffering. The story also reveals a contradiction between the stated value of humanity and the observable action of keeping a young man in such conditions. The legitimacy of these actions is implied without structural grounding, particularly in a system that suppresses speech and life.
The father’s trust in the military officials and the government is presented as faith in their authority and governance.

This article uses the euphemistic term “operational accident” to describe the incident that resulted in the injuries of several soldiers. This language obscures the violence and danger inherent in military operations, presenting it as an unintended and unfortunate event rather than a potential consequence of warfare. The use of the term “moderate” and “lightly” injured may also downplay the severity of the soldiers’ conditions.
The article does not provide any context or details about the incident, which might help to understand the cause of the accident. This lack of transparency implies legitimacy without providing structural grounding, leaving the reader to assume that the incident was an unavoidable accident rather than possibly the result of systemic issues or decisions within the military.
