Makes sense that they'd want to kidnap israelis to free palestinians. No zionist can ever justify that.
Of course, israeli prisoners/hostages are well treated, in the futile hope that israelis will have some empathy, and treat palestinians as they'd want to be treated.
I hold for a fact that Israel wouldn't be able to do the horrors it does if the world was better informed(, the most important is to inform the israelis themselves, and i know that people here will claim that they all perfectly know, but i disagree). Mistakes are the root of evil.

It's obviously far from the only testimony of tortures, even teenagers aren't spared.

If that's indeed the case(, as unbelievable as it seems), then breaking through their ignorance could benefit the palestinian fight.
(Just a thought i wanted to share because it seemed worth it, /r/IsraelPalestine is disproportionately populated with pro-israelis if you have a few days to spend, i don't rule out the possibility that none were arguing in good faith because it remains an improbable conclusion on my part)

(I just saw your comment, sry for editing my previous one i didn't know 😬)
Just know that it wasn’t my intention to defend Israel(, obviously?), i said that because it could benefit the palestinian cause.
I came on the subreddit mentioned to understand why they "needed" the west bank, and instead they insisted that it's the palestinians who want Israel despite the explicit demands of the 1967 borders, and pretended that it's the palestinian violence that prevents a two-states solution, the YT channel mentioned in the selftext kinda confirm that the situation is perceived in a weird way by the israelis.
I recognize that it's an overly strange conclusion, i'm doubting myself. Surveys show that 80% of israelis consider themselves the victims in this conflict, so i.d.k., perhaps more israelis don't understand the situation that we may think. Look at how they speak about security while it's their colonization of the West Bank and refusal of the Oslo accords that provoke more attacks ?
It's not impossible that a palestinian operation could be to send a document in each of their mailbox explaining more clearly that the attacks will continue to happen as long as Israel refuses a palestinian state along the 1967 borders with East-Jerusalem, and more explanations.
They probably wouldn't be able to do this more than once, but at least afterwards israelis won't ever have the excuse of not understanding what's happening, and that Israel is responsible for Hamas&palestinians attacks.
But yeah, unironically, stay cautious about the presence of zionists bots/people on the net, like i can't understand why that popular french account(, banned in the past, obv. by the authorities who else,) has an almost unanimity of comments opposing him, if you look at his posts with dozen of comments, that kind of weird example. I can't prove anything but these millions/billions spent ought to go somewhere.
(now i'm searching for surveys proving their brainwashing, but it's probably not necessary)
(Netanyahu won in 2019, promising to annex the jordan valley, which is 30% of the west bank, meanwhile israelis somehow believe to be the victims, and that there's nothing they can do, or that it's a convenient question of irrecoverable trust(, instead of security measures), it's so weird/unbelievable)
I.d.k. how, but that'd be great :

[Announcement] Keepers of the Flame FAQ
Following the Keepers of the Flame Content Reveal last week, we've seen a lot of questions about this update to Path of Exile. Check out the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions below.
The most recently answered questions are at the top.
What will it cost to respec points in the Genesis Tree passive tree?
Nothing, doing so is free.
Will I be able to hide my grafts if they conflict with the MTX I want to wear?
We are adding a "Hide Grafts" option in the MTX menu. This should be in place on release, but if it isn't it will be available shortly after.
What is happening with classic Breach Uniques like Xoph's Blood?
These will still exist, you'll be able to grow them on the Genesis tree or in some cases they'll come from Breach related Bosses.
Many of these will now have Foulborn variants to check out as well!
For the purpose of Schizophrenic Dissociation do Jewels socketed into a cluster jewel count as being socketed in your passive tree?
Yes
What is happening with content that is tied to Breach?
Breachstones will still work in standard, but are unobtainable in Keepers Leagues.
Breach Scarabs will be unavailable in the Keepers league.
Chayula on Maven's Invitation: The Feared has been replaced with the Incarnation of Dread.
Maven's Invitation: The Hidden is now replaced with The Remembered, requiring Witness of Courtyard of Wasting, Chambers of Impurity and Theatre of Lies.
It That Fled does not appear in Betrayal encounters in Keepers Leagues.
Will the identification of items use the Ctrl+Click shortcut from Path of Exile 2?
The quick shortcut for item identification is Ctrl+Alt+Click on Mouse and Keyboard.
Can all uniques be Foulborn?
Not all uniques can be Foulborn, the list of uniques that can be is still ongoing however there will be more than one hundred. Uniques that come from specific sources, such as boss uniques cannot be Foulborn.
Have there been any changes made to the frequency of finding Aul in Delve?
The frequency of Aul appearing in Delve is unchanged.
Will Faustus in the Rogue harbour also be able to manage asynchronous trade?
Faustus asynchronous trade will only be available in hideouts.
Will we be able to change our Bloodline Ascendancy and how?
Yes, you can respec your current Bloodline Ascendancy with another for free (after defeating a relevant boss). Otherwise, you can use Orbs of Regret or gold to respec those points like normal Ascendancy points (5 refund points each).
Can multiple party members all get the same Bloodline Ascendancy from the same boss?
Yes, assuming they are in the fight when the boss is killed.
Will Windburst Support work with movement from things like Flame Dash or Flicker Strike?
Yes. It counts movement from travel skills as well as regular movement.
Will graft skills scale off my damage and am I able to die from my graft skills reflected damage?
Graft skills do not scale off of player stats, but do have affixes which will affect their skills in many ways. Since graft damage is not dealt by the player, reflected damage will not be dealt back to the player from graft skill use.
How many Spectral Tigers can you have and how much Critical Chance, Attack and Cast Speed do they give?
You can have up to 5 of them and each of them grants 25% Increased Critical Chance, 7% Increased Attack Speed and 7% Increased Cast Speed.
We'll continue to monitor for questions and will continue to update this post when we do. Thank you so much for your continued support, we'll see you at launch!

What's the real reason then?
I don't see anything wrong with slowing production to improve quality and working conditions.
Kami doesn't like this.
They don't care about quality, as we have already seen multiple times, and such companies don't care about working conditions, as we can see everywhere in the world.
One episode every two weeks means doubling its duration. That's it.
It's about money, as always.
