Hamas recently released a horrifying video, taken last February, of a gaunt hostage, Evyatar David, a as part of an effort to encourage Israelis to take to the streets to demand that the Israeli government to do more to free the hostages, including unilaterally stopping the war in Gaza. He is shown in the narrow tunnel where he has been living for hundreds of days, deliberately starved to the point of near-death — he may have died since the video was made — marking on a calendar hung on the wall the days when he received “no food” (ein ochel), and then is seen digging a ditch in the tunnel which he has been told will be his burial place. He’s digging his own grave.
Robert Spencer has written about Evyatar David here and here, and more on this hostage, whose horrifying appearance will no doubt have the desired effect of producing more frenzied calls inside Israel to “bring them home now,” can be found here: “WATCH: Hamas forces hostage Evyatar David to dig own grave, count days without food,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, August 3, 2025:
Hamas published a video of hostage Evyatar David on Friday evening, which was later cleared for publication by the David Family.
In the video, David can be seen crossing off days on a makeshift calendar hung up on the side of an underground Gaza tunnel.
Clips of a clearly emaciated David are interspliced with those of starving Palestinian children.
David is also shirtless, and all of his ribs can be seen. He appears to have been held alone for months.
Israeli hostage Evyatar David in a Hamas propaganda video, August 1, 2025. (VIA TELEGRAM/SECTION 27A)
His biceps look to be the same size as his forearms.
The propaganda video also includes clips of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir saying that no aid should enter Gaza.It ends with a black screen that reads “They eat what we eat. They drink what we drink.”…
No, the hostages do not eat or drink what their captors eat and drink. They are given much less both food and water, just enough to stay alive in an emaciated state, one step away from being starved to death.
Take a look at the photograph at the top of this article. It shows emaciated Evyatar David being held captive in a dark tunnel under Gaza last February. Has he since died of starvation and torture and buried in the grave Hamas made him dig? Or is he still clinging to life, like the other hostages who have been allowed — just — to survive?
And just where is the UN Human Rights Committy anyway their as useful as Tits on a Boar Hog
The difference between the staged photo of gazans and a real one of a hostage.
How many bullshit staged photos of “starving” gazan children have been rushed to print so far? (This one of Evyatar is genuine because Hamas hope it’ll act as leverage.)
The press will forget it as quickly as Greta shrugged off viewing film footage of Oct 7th.
His Hamas captors aren’t ashamed or embarrassed over displaying this photo. It’s what they do, as when they filmed Oct 7th.
Hence only the press is mildly annoyed at having to report on a genuine event(photo) that subtracts from their rushing to show manufactured “war crimes” photos of starving gazan kids.
For the record; when did it become Israel/America’s job to feed our enemies??
It’s not our job, nor moral responsibility to feed a group that endorsed the evils inflicted on Oct 7th. It’s only our moral responsibility to utterly destroy them.
You islamists in Gaza want food? Okay. Point to where your Hamas overlords are. Then we’ll bring it.
Just maybe, not feeding the 80%+ population that support Hamas, might entice them to inform on Hamas.
I would imagine that The New York Times (which showed a photo of a “starving child in Gaza” on its front page, whose emaciation it turned out was a result of a medical condition unrelated to war), Zohran Mamdani, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Rashida Tlaib would actually be pleased if Israeli hostages starved. Seeing photos of starving Israeli hostages (whom they believe are merely getting what they deserve) probably arouses in them the same pleasure others achieve via pornography.
You can tell it’s bs when the mother is overweight, yet her baby is emaciated.
Good point, but I’d maintain that one knows it’s bullshit when any photos are trafficked by the establishment media.
The MSM have a long history of using photos as agitprop propaganda.
* When 17 year-old thug Trayvon got shot for attacking George Zimmerman, the pic the press 1st splashed all over TV was that of a cute, innocent looking 11 year-old boy.
* Pics of Jan 6th showed the mayhem only – never the festive, tailgate-party atmosphere that preceeded.
It took the DC cops half an hour to finally turn that cheerful crowd into bewildered rage.
The footage of Nancy’s goons gratuitously firing on a static, complacent crowd is never shown – only the aftermath they created
* Jordan Neely’s M. Jackson pose was used over his actual look of the drug-addled psychotic bum that he currently was.
* Nick Sandman was portrayed as a smug arrogant white supremacist. (Too bad Tim Pool showed the true context.)
* the blackout of footage showing those two white people viciously attacked in Milwaukee was no surprise. (Too bad the scum recording & laughing didn’t do the same. Oops!)
* When lackluster Katie Couric interviewed the Virginia Citizens Defense League, she deceptively edited the tape to make them look stumped & speechless in response to her question. (It’s her tough shit that they anticipated a set-up & audio taped it themselves as back-up.)
She had to correct the record, but left the deceptive edit in her DVD of “Under the Gun”.
* And speaking of deceptive editing, CBS did that to “white Mexican” George Zimmerman’s 911 call.
The DNC press mislead with pictures, film footage, and audio every chance they get. And, if they get caught, they shrug their shoulders and move on to their next opportunity.
So will the monsters be declared a state before of after they return the mutilated bodies of the hostages they have been torturing mercilessly for about 2 years ?
Isn’t it amazing
Emaciated Evyatar David resembles one of the millions of Concentration camp victims that U.S. and Russian troops found when the Nazi camps were liberated 1944-45. What a coincidence.
My hope is that each and every Israeli and American hostage is released when Israel finally takes over Gaza and each and every hamas-simean is locked away in their own tunnels and left to starve. Maybe the NYT will parade actual pics of starving Hamas cowards. Maybe NYT will run them with the caption of “Just Desserts” Not that anyone will give a shit about them. I don’t give a shit about them now.
Israel should bulldoze that strip of kitty litter and build a weapons development industry second to none so Israel doesn’t have to rely on traitors like the democrats, and euro traitors like Germany and France, who just cut off weapons sales to Israel. State of the art fighter jets, bombers, and artillery pieces. They already make first rate small arms ammo and machine guns.
I’ve been praying for Evyatar David and the other hostages since I first saw this picture weeks ago. I am also praying that YHVH intervenes supernaturally, not knowing if GOD has currently intervening, to end this war with the complete destruction of Israel’s enemies. Israel’s and our enemies are of the devil and peace will not be if they are still alive.
If they are incarcerated it should be for their natural lives.
Amen
I wish you had published the photo of him being handed a can of food. You can readily see the plump, normal arm and hand of the Hamas bas***d who is handing it to him. The difference produces tears from any normal human seeing it!
It appears the editors here had enough of Sebastian’s rancid bullshit – at least for today.
This is the 1st time I’ve seen someone get the boot after passing initial censors. (His flushing took all the responses with it.)
Anyone reading this, please visit usaisrael.org and watch the unedited videos of the Hamas REAL atrocities.
And the video of these savages to a pregnant young woman.
After watching them, just tell me about your sympathy for these sadistic barbarians…blow them all to smithereens!! The people of Gaza GET OUT OF HERE!!! Go back to Jordon or Syria…they won’t take their Arab brothers and sisters? Keep walking toward Iraq…
Not there either? Head for Libya…not there either? Head south until you find your way to a country accepting you.
Can’t find one where you can lie, cry, claim victimhood as your permanent identity and expect to do nothing, offer nothing, create nothing and be permanently subsidized, fed, clothed and housed in perpetuity!
Where is Yasser Arafat when you need him?
