The New York Post have never been a trustworthy publication in the first place, but calling this headline a shameless lie isn’t even a strong enough way to express the new low the American media’s propagandizing has reached, especially in the last few weeks.

To make such an extreme claim up out of thin air is almost unbelievable even by New York Post standards. This is what western media has resorted to in order to keep those with nominally pro-Israeli views invested in this conflict, and we can only expect it to get worse as the diminishing impact of the shock factor continues.

    Sabaya could also be used for “young female” without the prisoner of war context, it’s like the female version of “guys” there’s even a Syrian sitcom called “Sabaya” about girls being girls.

      This is a very good point, I just figured it would be easier for me to explain if I spoke of it in the context that the Zionists are intentionally misconstruing it (regarding Isis’s use of the word that western media has latched on to devoid of any cultural context)
