Today of all days we must remember this young woman and call for her release.

Her mother spoke movingly yesterday at the memorial to the October 7th Victims.

I was so surprised to read there was still a British hostage the other day. It feels like they've been totally forgotten in the chaos of everything going on. The whole point of the BBC was unbiased reporting.

I know. How many British people know there is a British female held hostage. Strange. If this young female was held in any other circumstances, say in China, then it would be reported.

Agreed its upsetting there is no call for her (as 'one of us') to be released. It's also not a shock.

Many don't want to see her plight and many don't see her as 'one of us'.

We know why.

The BBC appear to have forgotten her. It's sad. You'd imagine a British news site to cover this young person still held hostage.

Overnight the missiles into Haifa from hezbollah ignored but reported attacks on Beirut. It feels very one sided.

I use different channels now.
