1: the article didn’t say they were only given sea water, just that they were given sea water. And you can live on only sea water for at least 6 days.
2: Isn’t this how they were able to tell they were malnourished?

Two things: you should learn more about what the people of Gaza have been going through. What you’re describing isn’t so far off of what free Palestinians have been experiencing under siege.
I want both the people of Gaza and the hostages to be happy. Don’t you?
Second: be more skeptical of news sources and find your news from multiple sources. This whole thread is about how biased the Jerusalem Post is.
So I should trust screenshots of article headlines instead of the actual article?
Given the name of the lemmy community that this thread is posted in, is there any possibility that bias influences the opinion of credibility for the article?
Or is that kind of skepticism not welcomed?
The fact that you couldn’t even find this article at first and that now you’re taking it at face value makes it pretty clear you need to improve your news literacy.
Someone posted a screenshot of the article instead of posting the article. I tried to do my due diligence by reading the article to check its credibility but I could only see the websites homepage in the image.
I tried to use the search function to find the article but I’m on mobile and was unable to scroll the search results.
The fact that you want me to trust screenshots of article headlines but not the article says a lot.
I tried to find the article on jpost.com but I couldn’t find it. Maybe this is just a photoshopped image?
So the writer came to this conclusion after reading this other article that came to it’s conclusions from this:
I examined the data from the most recent World Values Survey (2010 to 2014) and European Values Survey(2008), two of the most comprehensive studies of public opinion carried out in over 100 countries. The survey asks respondents to place themselves on a spectrum from far left to center to far right. I then plotted the proportion of each group’s support for key democratic institutions. (A copy of my working paper, with a more detailed analysis of the survey data, can be found here.)
Basically two surveys from over a decade ago that survey people across the planet. Not in the US…
In other words the writer is trying to present their opinion as fact.
I’m not able to find multiple sources for this news so I’m going to follow your advice and be skeptical of it.
