‘We have to keep growing’: Mother of killed Israeli hostage in battle to have a grandchild with his harvested sperm | CNN

“Something can be born out of everything – if you want it to,” said Iris Haim, whose hostage son Yotam was killed in Gaza. Those words are helping her find hope, as she seeks to use his sperm to have a grandchild.

    I can’t fucking believe western media wrote “harvested sperm” without thinking about how fucking psychotic that sounds. It could be described in so many other ways that make it sound less horrible but they really went for “harvesting” something from a corpse.

      Israelis would rather have a racially pure child from corpse sperm than adopt any one of the millions of orphan children around the world

        Don’t give them ideas. Those orphans deserve better than to end up as zionists.

      uh what’s the “sane” (for lack of a better term) way to describe getting sperm out of a dead body for the purpose of conception?

      I personally feel like you shouldn’t judge something based on how it’s phrased. That seems a bit tone policy/civility brained.

        My point is that the western media constantly picks its words very carefully to dehumanise its enemies and frame its allies as moral and upstanding. “Harvesting” is anti regime language with negative connotations in people’s minds when it comes from organ harvesting.

        It’s just surprising that nobody in the western media has realised how fucking freaky they’re making it sound with this language. They usually wouldn’t use language that has a negative vibe for their allies.

          Ah mb, sorry for misunderstanding.

          The journos might honestly find this revolting. Current western culture is extremely prissy about death and funerary stuff. See like genocides over funerary cannibalism and shit :l, all the bonkers laws about specifically how corpse destruction/burial has to happen.

          Medical language is also extremely clinical, you do harvest organs for transplantation etc. Harvesting itself is sort of euphemistic, you butcher the innocent cow you harvest material from the cadaver. Could be that.

          It’s not like milked or secreted sperm sound better haha.

          TBH the anthropology enthusiast in me finds this grotesque and fascinating. What a fucking trip to have your mum looking to objectify a woman so she can have little youlings to grieve over.
