Ugh I’m disappointed that she ended up apologizing. Nothing she said was wrong, and it’s refreshing to hear a slightly different take than usual on mainstream media. I recently listened to an interview Amanpour did (I think on Jon Stewart’s podcast?), and it’s clear she understands what actually went on in this genocide.
The fact that any of the hostages were kept alive means that they were fed with food, which is more than most Gazans have had these last years. There’s no arguing that they were treated badly, they were hostages in a horrific genocide, but her point is totally valid.

“Hostages” is also an odd term for prisoners of war.
There’s also the angle of the just comparing those prisoners to the ones Israel keeps and now much better they were treated.
Very disappointed she was forced to apologize
