The images speak for themselves

Only stories that Egypt won't let the animals caged there leave.

What does this mean? Which animals?

I think @stomachamelon is referring to Egypt not allowing the population of Gaza to enter, perhaps they will explain.

Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami and Or Levy - that's who we are talking about. My accusations aren't unfounded, you are trying so hard to deflect the conversation. It's sickening and distasteful.

Tbh it's because of the disgusting way Hamas have paraded these people on stages. I can't bear to watch it.

'Your looking at the wrong victims' get off your high horse and give @MissyB1 the lecture. That's her statement not mine. And you have the nerve to question my compassion. Your judging the wrong person.

No-one in that baying crowd look like they'd missed a meal. Except the released hostages, who looked similar to prisoners released from concentration camps after WWII.

Different century, same shit

What a ridiculous statement. Even the hostages appear to have been treated in a variety of ways. We don't yet even know the full extent of how they were treated.

Just out of interest, how would you have expected Israel to respond the events of 7th October 2023? Do you think they should have sat back and waited for the next attack?

Yep! It’s awful and shows them for the ghouls they are. Poor Eli Sharabi - filming him saying how he was looking forward to seeing his family. My heart broke for him.

I agree the hostages appear to have been treated in a variety of ways, obviously not all Palestinian detainees or Israeli hostages have been treated badly, what I'm saying is there has been mistreatment on BOTH sides to some of them, it's not a competition

I don't agree with 'looking at the wrong victims.' The hostages were clearly treated with grave inhumanity and injustice. I also don't agree that their suffering is the only thing to be condemned here, or that, (as some seem to suggest), Palestinian detainees deserve mistreatment. If you think mistreatment of people is wrong, you have to consider all the people who have been held captive in this particular situation.

I think she's probably referring to the terrorists that were released from Israeli prisons to Egypt. They're currently being held in Egyptian hotels but they're not allowed to leave the hotel as Egypt obviously doesn't want them causing trouble in their country.

One of the Palestinian prisoners that was released the other week in exchange for the female Israeli civilian hostages actually abducted a 19 Israeli woman from a park, raped her and then beheaded her.

He was not anomaly either. The Palestinian criminals being released from Israeli jails are not good people. They are murders and psychopaths motivated by a hatred of Jews. You think Hamas would be lobbying to get “innocents” out? Get real. They want to re-fill their ranks to carry on their orgy of terror. For Hamas it’s always been about the exchange rate.

@Halbiiamz absolutely.

@Chalicefromthepalace is that the man whose wife and babies were taken? I was thinking about him today. His eyes looked so sad. I think surely they have passed away surely. Why has nothing been said?

I'm not sure @MissyB1 said 'looking at the wrong victims'? I think that may have been another poster, actually.

Neither can you both sides this. The hostages are ENTIRELY innocent civilians. Among the Palestinian prisoners are convicted murderers and terrorists. You cannot dispute this Some were detained because it was a war situation - this is entirely normal in wars, civil rights are always curtailed in wars for the enemy. Especially when you are dealing with a guerilla war and a side that has no compunction in putting its civilians on the front line. Hamas will have known this when they decided to launch a war on 7 October. Undoubtedly some innocent people will have been detained, some might have been released if their cases got to court, some not. Hopefully wrong behaviour on the Israeli side will be brought to justice. We have already seen this week some Israeli soldiers punished for mistreatment. When did you last hear of a Hamas terrorist punished for mistreatment? This is a messy, violent situation but its monstrous and morally bankrupt to pretend that Hamas and the IDF are equivalent.

No, Eli Sharabi’s wife and 2 daughters were killed on Oct 7th but he didn’t know. 😥

Ok.

How about individuals, often children, seized and held in horrific conditions, with no trial and no access to a lawyer for an indeterminate period. Often abused, raped and tortured.

The above could be used equally for the hostages and 'detainees'. I'm not sure Israel has any moral high ground here...

And yes, the hostages looked awful when released, as have many of the Palestinians who were captured, held and tortured. Shame on all of those who have taken people without going through a fair legal process, especially for the maltreatment that followed on both sides.

Because Hamas are utterly cruel and want to torture him and the entire nation as long as they can.

No I simply responded to another poster who cast doubt on the fact that Palestinian civilians had been starving.

Yes among the Palestinian prisoners are convicted murderers and terrorists, I've never disputed this so why are you questioning it? Among them are also people who have not been convicted of anything and being tortured for this by Israel, and yes not all of them have been but there is evidence that yes Palestinian detainees have been starved and raped the same as the Israeli hostages, hopefully in time ALL the perpetrators will be brought to justice

I don't blame them...a lot of Arab countries have made vast steps, they have tourism that makes up a lot of their economy. Womens rights in those countries are also increasing. Education is key. ( I think this will need to be a priority post war in Gaza) as the children there are indoctrinated from birth and bringing children up to hate us never going to result in peace. ( I have the same view if the extreme settlers).

Tbh it's because of the disgusting way Hamas have paraded these people on stages. I can't bear to watch it.

It is shocking. However I don't see that the reality of Hamas shouldn't be shown.

The hell the hostages have been through.
