Engaging in the act of actively occupying another individual’s territory, confining them in concentration camps, employing indiscriminate carpet bombing, killing approximately 30.000 and asserting dominion over essential resources such as water, electricity, and medical provisions is undeniably more morally reprehensible and ethically repugnant.
But yes, hostage (who is an occupier) announcing fate of “hostages” (also occupiers) is sick.

So it’s false because Israel bombed the building they were in and killed them, or it’s false because Hamas released the video?
This is what I don't get here. Why the hell do people interpret this as if it's spreading Israeli propaganda?
We know Hamas killed substantial number of innocent people and are keeping hostages.
We know these hostages are kept somewhere in Gaza.
We know Israel is bombing the shit out of Gaza, actively destroying civilian infrastructure.
What we learn from this is that Israel has indeed killed hostages in their indiscriminate bombing, that Hamas seem to be keeping hostages alive when they are not killed by Israeli bombs, and that being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza is still an awful situation to be in.
If this makes Hamas look bad it's because they are bad.
If you think it makes Israel look good you're sick in the head - this is triggered by them intentionally bombing Gaza until there's nothing left.

I guess they also often feel a need to place themselves.

The thing for me is I wanted to become a dual citizen because hey Israel is where my people are from why wouldn’t I want to but I was much younger and as I grew up I felt felt drive to do so. At first it was because I’m a pacifist and refused to join any military. Now I’m of age I can dodge that but I see what the country is doing and how could I in good conscience want to be a part of that?
So I’ll be a Jew and I’ll speak out against tyranny as I have and thus I speak out against the actions of the Israeli military and government. I’m not a fan of how Hamas acted before the start of this genocide but no matter how much I didn’t like that I can’t say Israel’s response is in any way justifiable. This is a slaughter of innocents and that is not Judaism as I know it. This is not what God would want us to do.
I think it's not so difficult to understand the appeal, of course for those deeply religious who long back to Zion, but also to those who just long for a home country. I know old secular Jews who, before all this bullshit, was considering moving to Tel Aviv for their retirement because it felt more like home to them then the US, despite being American all their lives and despite being politically progressive and very much not on the Bibi side of things.
It's a complicated situation now - on one hand I think it's crucial that Jews should not feel the need to be apologetic or to constantly have to emphasize that they don't represent a government they have nothing to do with. If that becomes the standard we're already lost. On the other hand, people might need to hear it in order to understand Netanyahu is not some supreme leader of the unified Jews of the world, as too many people seem eager to believe.
Netanyahu is not some supreme leader of the unified Jews of the world
No, but he represents the political will and direction of politics in Israel. Far right parties dominate the political landscape in Israel, and Israeli political interests and money (which, ironically, is often coming from the US) is used to influence politics in the US, like passage of anti-BDS laws in nearly every state in the US.

Honestly it would be like if Trump tried to imply he was doing what white people around the world wanted and I’m sure we all know that can’t be 100% honest.
I don’t disagree with his point about Netanyahu not being the voice for Jews in the US. Most Jews in the US are Reform, which is a pretty liberal interpretation of the religion. Even the Conservative sects of Judaism are pretty liberal, relatively speaking. The Orthodox, Hasidim, and the ultra-Orthodox sects are a tiny fraction of Jews in the US, but they exert tremendous political power in Israel. And because Israel has such an influence in US politics, the very conservative Jews–again, largely in Israel–exert outsized influence in US politics.

It's less trustworthy as a source because they're using loaded terms in the article. The headline calls it a "sick video", labels it as "propagandist". Those are terms intended to provoke a reaction: 'sick' is an attempt to prime your reaction if you watch the video, 'propagandistic' is intended to make you distrust the intent behind the video.
An impartial journalist would've used different language or added sources. If I was writing the article, I would've called it a 'new video' or perhaps a 'newly-released video'. I wouldn't have used 'propagandistic' at all; the speculation on the intent behind it is adequately covered a few paragraphs later. If you were intent on calling it propagandistic, that wording should be credited to a specific person, preferably an Israeli government spokesperson or a high-ranking official.
Using loaded words should only ever be done in clearly labeled opinion columns or letters to the editor (although honestly, I'm against their presence even there); if used in a news article, they should only be used when quoting a person.
Objectively, I know that loaded words are going to be impossible to avoid: even describing someone as a 'Hamas fighter' vs a 'Hamas terrorist' is fraught, and don't get me started on why civilians held by Hamas are 'hostages' while civilians held by Israel are 'prisoners'. But simple, obvious terms designed to tell the reader how to feel about the news should absolutely be avoided.

Unreliable =/= false. Even heavily biased outlets usually get their facts straight, but editorial choices like whom to quote, how to frame events, and what stories to cover can absolutely give a wrong impression. Especially if the audience isn’t paying close attention.
You can take a fact like “two hostages were killed in an Israeli airstrike” and frame it as “look how indiscriminate the IDF bombings are” or “look how cowardly Hamas is”. Those are two very different stories, but neither are “false”.
Genuine fake news is pretty rare, unless the source is a random link from Xtwitter. Go fact check what you consider a heavily biased source and I think you’ll be surprised.
