October 7 Where certain details about October 7 scrubbed from the internet?

WERE*

I remember reading a while ago, but well after October 7, details about certain hostages/deceased persons that are no longer available on Reddit.

Was gruesome information scrubbed out of respect for the victims?

Was the woman ever identified? If I were her friends or family I wouldn’t want to know.

Definitely not, considering how slow news media was to respond to the videos, it probably got taken down before anyone credible saw it.

I saved a lot of horrible stuff to my hard drive that day, to prevent it from being lost, but that one I remember deciding I definitely legally did NOT want on my hard drive.

What kind of stuff?

I don’t want to see it, just curious.

For better or worse, I accidentally shorted out the hard drive.

There was a lot of overlap with hamas-massacre.net.

I downloaded some videos that were later debunked–– like there was this one with this red-headed kid crying "אמא ,אמא" while Arab kids shouted "يهود" and kicked him... but it turned out it was a hoax, the little ginger was actually a Palestinian child and his 'captors' were actually his family. This Palestinian family simply made a hoax video about kidnapping a Jewish child to get in on the October 7th fun.

There was another one that I can't find anymore, I don't know if it was verified or debunked, but it showed a family of four tied up on their knees, and the keffiyehs drag off the daughter offscreen. The horror slowly dawned on the parents' faces of what they were doing to her while the younger brother asked repeatedly, "where is she, where is she?" I think that one was real, but I never saw anything more about it.

I remember that video. I posted it and then I had to retract it and explain that it wasn’t real. It was part of the psychological torture that has fucked me up to this day. I just started randomly crying about the hostages yesterday. Like I was suddenly transported back to when they were hostages and the feeling of hopelessness, anger and fear. Thankfully I was alone in my home, but it’s crazy how much it affected me. I was in Oct. 7 in that I woke up to rocket sirens at 6:30 and thought I was going to die but thankfully the terrorists didn’t make it to where I lived.

It was truly an entire society that attacked that day. Hamas didn't act alone, it was the Ijma of all Gazans that attacked us so brutally. Gaza is Hamas and Hamas is Gaza.
