You don’t need me to tell you. You know. With as much cruelty as possible. Some of the freed hostages, and their families, have now spoken about the abuse they endured at the hands of those Hamas barbarians whom the Palestinians, and other Muslims, too, are describing as “brave Muhajideen.” More on Hamas’ vicious mistreatment of one hostage, a 12-year-old boy, can be found here: “Family of Freed 12-Year-Old Boy Describes Horrific Abuse of Child Hostages by Hamas, Gazan Civilians,” by Debbie Weiss, Algemeiner, November 28, 2023:
The aunt of a 12-year-old boy who was released from captivity in Gaza on Monday night has revealed disturbing details of threats and psychological abuse inflicted on her nephew by Hamas terrorists, which included forcing him to watch videos of the atrocities committed on Oct. 7.
In an interview with French TV channel BFM, Eitan Yahalomi’s aunt, Devora Cohen, said, “Whenever a child hostage cried, the terrorists would threaten them with rifles to silence them.”
Yahalomi, a dual Israeli-French citizen, was released on Monday, 52 days after his abduction, as part of a temporary ceasefire and hostage-prisoner swap deal between Israel and Hamas.
“Perhaps I was naïve, but I wanted to hope that they were treating him well,” said Cohen. “I was wrong. They are monsters.
For the first 16 days of captivity, Yahalomi was left in solitary confinement in a room underground, his grandmother, Esther Yahalomi, told the Haaretz daily.
Just think of that 12-year-old boy. He had just witnessed scenes of unbelievable carnage at his kibbutz. Perhaps he saw his friends, or relatives, being raped, or tortured, or murdered, before he was thrown over the back of a moped and driven by one of those same murderers into Gaza. There he was spat upon and beaten by “ordinary Gazans,” who, we are told, are “innocent civilians” who want nothing to do with Hamas. Few know that 76% of those “innocent civilians” in Gaza say they fully support Hamas even after the atrocities it carried out on October 7. Once inside Gaza, the Yahalomi boy was put in a dank dark room deep underground, and left to languish in solitary confinement. What kind of terrors did he endure, alone in that windowless room for sixteen days, as he remembered the scenes he had witnessed that morning in the kibbutz? Why couldn’t Hamas at least have let him share a room, and perhaps better face his terrors, with another boy?
After a month he was joined by other child hostages at a different location, which was much easier for him because his kindergarten teacher was also there. But the children were forced to watch the Oct. 7 massacre — in which Hamas-led terrorists murdered over 1,200 people across southern Israel and took more than 240 hostages — on film in silence, and any cries they made resulted in threats at gunpoint.
“The Hamas terrorists forced him to watch films of the horrors, the kind that no one wants to see, they forced him to watch them,” Cohen said….
Of all the diabolically cruel things Hamas has done to the hostages, this was surely the cruelest. Did the hostages see videos of the babies and children being burned alive? Or of girls being raped and then murdered? Did they see Hamas operatives gouging out eyes, or slicing off breasts, or cutting off the genitalia, of Israelis, both before and after death? Did they see the videos the killers took of themselves doing these things, so proud were they of their deeds as “brave Muhajideen”?
“When he arrived in Gaza, all the residents, everyone, beat him. He is a 12-year-old boy,” she said. “We’re talking about a child of 12.”…
When the moped he was on entered Gaza, he was met with savagery from those people we call “innocent civilians.” They screamed their hatred of him, spat at him, beat him all over his body, the body of a terrified 12-year-old boy who has just seen friends and relatives murdered.
Separately, Thomas Hand, the father of 9-year-old Emily Hand who was released by Hamas on Sunday evening, opened up about his daughter’s condition over the last two days.
In an emotional interview with CNN, Hand said Emily was barely audible.
“The most shocking, disturbing part of meeting her was she was just whispering. You couldn’t hear her. I had to put my ear on her lips,” he said. “She’d been conditioned [by her captors] not to make any noise.”…
I once knew a Jewish man who, as a child during World War II, had spent two years hiding in a barn where he had been instructed, for his own safety and that of the people hiding him, not to speak. And when he finally emerged, after the Germans had retreated, he could still not speak, and his condition, he said, lasted for many months. That is what nine-year-old Emily Hand is going through, after her terrific trauma.
Hamas is making efforts to change its image in light of the widespread awareness of its barbarity. This includes directing released hostages to smile and wave, as observed in videos of the hostages being transferred to Red Cross vehicles, which include audible directives by the masked terrorists to “keep waving.”
So the hostages, as they were being turned over to the Red Cross in front of the world’s cameras, did as directed by their captors: with forced smiles on their faces, they waved goodbye to those who we are expected to believe had treated them so well. The Hamas men, for the same cameras, of course, with friendly smiles on their faces, waved right back. A hideous farce in which the hostages had to participate, for they could well imagine what, if they had not done so, Hamas would do to the hostages whom they still held captive.
Some in the international media seem to have fallen prey to Hamas’ theatrics. Responding to an Israeli report that Yahya Sinwar — the Hamas leader in Gaza and mastermind behind the Oct. 7 massacre — met with Israeli hostages and told them in Hebrew that “nothing would happen” to them, veteran Sky News journalist Dominic Waghorn posted on X/Twitter that it “undermines the Israeli Hamas = ISIS storyline.”
Yes, that preposterous lie about Yahya Sinwar’s basic decency that “veteran Sky News journalist Dominic Waghorn” believes is true, undermines not the “Hamas=ISIS storyline,” but the credibility of Dominic Waghorn, who turns out to be an idiot. There are so many.
Waghorn went on to claim that the hostages were “held in reasonable conditions, reportedly, though those held above ground lived with the fear of being killed in Israel’s bombardment.”
Not just an idiot, but a sinister idiot, is “veteran journalist Dominic Waghorn.” On the basis of nothing at all he confidently assures us that the hostages were “held in reasonable conditions.” How does he know that? Did Hamas assure him? Does he think placing a 12-year-old in the solitary confinement of a dank underground prison cell is a “reasonable” condition? Does he not know that three of the hostages were murdered by Hamas while in captivity — their bodies have been retrieved by the IDF from the grounds of the Shifa Hospital? Does he not know that most of the hostages were forced to sleep while sitting in chairs? Hasn’t he heard about the threats Hamas operatives made to children to make sure they kept absolutely silent? And Waghorn, whose anti-Israel animus is palpable, dares to tell us that those hostages held “above ground” had no fear of their sadistic Hamas guards, but only feared Israeli bombardments, of which Dominic Waghorn obviously disapproves. If any harm comes to those hostages, the fault in his view will lie with those “bombardments,” and not with Hamas. The only conclusion I can reach is that the egregious “veteran journalist” Dominic Waghorn ought to be fired forthwith. I’m sure you agree.

All I can say is that there is a God and He will judge, and judgment will be eternal for these evil people.
Canuckguy NB says
Sorry, there is no god. All this fighting is over silly myths.
Candace Goss says
We will pray for you because God, the One who created the heavens and the earth is coming back, to judge the world. Which side will you be found on? There are only two choices it’s live forever with Jesus through His love, forgiveness and grace or be condemned to a fiery inferno for all eternity! I seriously pray you will make the right decision! It will be a terrible thing to fall into the hands of an angry God! Confess your sins to Him and He will set you free❣️

One day, probably soon, you will have an incredibly rude awakening.

It is a religion of sociopaths who need to force people into their beliefs.
Atikva says
Islam is not a religion, it’s a totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion.
And nothing and no one can force anybody to believe – or disbelieve for that matter – in anything you don’t want to. They can force you to proclaim, even to swear that you believe in something or someone, force you to fake it and act as if you really believed – but nothing can really bend your mind to believe what you do not. Not a religion, not a ruler, not a judge, not a political party, no one.
“Out of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.”

All I can say is that there is a God and they will be judged and separated from His presence and goodness for eternity.
BLSinSC says
“Ministry of TRUTH” – hamass’s version of TRUTH is well understood by those of us who can count to ONE!! But then the media around the world will accept their “truths” without questioning! Maybe the Gazans are the INVENTORS of the “New Math Core crap”!!
On the home front, NY just established their own “Ministry of Truth” – will be interesting to see the NATIONALITY of the “ministers”!
Marilyn Echelbarger says
Grieving. We are headed for more chaos because of propaganda, deception, lies, and tyranny. More innocent blood will be shed. It is Satan.
Jane L. Whiting says
Being a survivor of a satanic ritual abuse that required 12 years of in depth therapy and medical procedures to deal w/damage. I can inoquivicly state that the “SS” Nazi regime was merely a “kinder, gentler “Hamas.” The world opinion that are trying at every turn to stop the IDF from reaching it’s objectives should remember this is who they are championing!
“Ahmad” says
You are the first to see a significant TRUTH missed by most. The enemy are Satanists with absolutely nothing that happened on October 7 being new or unique in the slightest.
You want to learn? Go to “Jihad Watch” and study. Their faith is unlike any other on earth, perfectly fine to lie, cheat, steal and murder to further Islamic world domination. Proof? It is found in the pages of their Koran, all of that and much more!
These are the people who educated Hitler. These are the people “created” by Moscow. News flash folks!: the only real Palestinians were the JEWS of pre-independance “Palestine” a part of the British Mandate from the days of the League of Nations.
Heck! A modern Palestinian, cannot even say their “name” in Arabic, as there is nothing in the language to enable the sound, another global first by the way!
Past time to wake up folks! We ARE BEING DOOMED to repeat history because we have very short memories and a virtually worthless educational system deserves a “grade” of a “Z-“.
I am wrong? I am an Islamophobe? Best be able to prove that as there’s ample proof of everything I have said here should you choose to look for it. Course these days it is Islamophobic to quote by reference the Koran.
Ed Snider says
Because they are a fraudulent ethnicity the so-called Palestinians have no history from which to take comfort when things don’t go their way. The Jews, in contrast, who have suffered greater tragedies than other peoples, always believed—correctly—that in the long run their God, and their intimate relationship with him, would bail them out of their troubles. The organizing principle of the Palestinian Arabs, who have no history, is their shared hatred of the Jews. It is the sole feature of what makes,them Palestinian (aside fromwelfare payments from UNRWA.) Without that hatred, and its many physical manifestations, there is no Palestinian people. Cruelty is what holds them together.
Kasandra says
I guess to this Dominic Waghorn creature nothing undermines the “not the “Hamas=ISIS storyline” like learning in the last few days that, on October 7, the Hamas monsters shot Israeli women in the vagina.
LuzMaria Rodriguez says
I actually pray that God brings punishment down like He did regarding Sodom and Gomorrah.
Such Evil cannot be allowed to exist among civilized people.

Judgement is çomming for the animals of Islam. They will not escape. The God of heaven hates the shedding of innocent blood.
Huapakechi says
Sow the storm, reap the whirlwind.
Those they sought to intimidate will be implacable enemies.
Some have opposed the flooding of hamas tunnels with sea water because it would contaminate their wells.
Too bad.
Alkflaeda says
God does not need to punish Mohammed in hell – the daily encounters with his own bewildered countrymen asking “Why did you mislead us, O Prophet?” must be punishment enough.
