JUST IN🚨: Brain scans have revealed children living with unstable families (excessive, arguing, abusive and neglectful) have brain changes similar to combat soldiers after active duty.

My grandfather built McCormick Spices from nothing after your ancestors tomahawked his wife and kids. I'll be damned if you take another scalp from my family fortune!

Update: After carefully reviewing the 2,000+ comments from relationship experts, marriage counselors, child psychologists, and people who have never met me, my wife, or my kids, I have decided to stay married after all. I had no idea that “drifting apart” was code for “you’re a weak cuck whose wife is already soft-launching her work husband.” Thank you for the diagnosis. I’ll just schedule a rekindle date night, suck it up, and ignore the fact that two adults mutually decided this wasn’t working. Turns out the only correct choice is to stay in a relationship neither of us wants so random people on the internet don’t feel sad about my daughters. Also, special thanks to everyone who explained that selling the house is me “forcing the kids out of their family home.” You’re right—houses are sacred and can never be replaced by any other structure where the same parents still love and raise the same kids. I’ll just keep the house forever even if we’re not living in it as a couple. Easy. And of course, the most important insight: my daughters are now permanently and irreversibly broken for the rest of their lives. Childhood ended the second we told them. Every future relationship, career, and mental health outcome is already ruined. Doesn’t matter that we’ll still both be actively raising them, that there were no fights, or that plenty of kids turn out fine after amicable divorces—those real-world details are irrelevant next to the expert consensus of strangers on X. The trauma is locked in forever. My bad. And to the people calling this attention-seeking: yes, I posted a short update because people were asking where I’d been, then immediately got ratioed by thousands of strangers who definitely care deeply about the emotional well-being of children they’ve never met. Totally normal and not at all performative. Appreciate all the unsolicited advice. The girls and I are doing fine. I’ll be back when I need more life coaching from anonymous accounts.

All 40 deaths can be traced back to Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other terrorist organisations taking these people hostage in the first place. Having established this important fact, which should have been the starting point of Diamond's framing, let's examine the “24/40” figure he is throwing around. By CNN’s own breakdown, 11 hostages were accidentally killed by Israeli strikes or troops (friendly fire) during a military operation that began because Hamas launched a war against Israel and fought it while hiding behind both Gazan non-combatants and the hostages. Nearly half were murdered by their Hamas captors, either directly or through prolonged suffering, deprivation and denial of medical care, while the circumstances surrounding eight deaths remain unknown. Diamond arrives at 24 by stretching the definition of deaths “traced back to Israeli military actions” to include hostages executed by Hamas because Israeli forces were approaching, often without knowing the hostages were there, and even cases where the cause of death remains uncertain. Again, these circumstances are relevant to a legitimate debate about the risks of military pressure, but they are very different from implying, as Diamond's framing does and as other, more nefarious voices will undoubtedly exploit, that Israel killed 24 hostages. If a kidnapper murders his hostage when police close in, the police operation may form part of the causal chain. But the murderer is still the kidnapper, who made the deliberate decision to execute his captive. Blurring the distinction between hostages accidentally killed by Israeli fire and those deliberately murdered by Hamas as Israeli forces approached does more than mislead readers about what happened. It shifts moral agency from the captors who chose to execute their hostages onto the state attempting to rescue them. It turns a legitimate debate about the risks and consequences of military pressure into a distorted claim about responsibility. Diamond has a responsibility to report these distinctions carefully, particularly on an issue as sensitive as the deaths of hostages. His framing, both in his tweet and in the CNN piece, failed to meet that responsibility.
