The undated 37-second video of Noa Argamani, 26, Yossi Sharabi, 53, and Itai Svirsky, 38, released on Sunday night showed them speaking presumably under duress, pleading with Israel’s government to end the war and get them home.
The clip ended with a Hamas caption that on Monday, “we will inform you of their fate”. Israel has blasted such videos as psychological warfare and insists it will not be deflected from its goals in Gaza, after Hamas launched raids into southern Israel on October 7 that claimed 1,200 lives.
Among the targets was a music festival from which Ms Argamani and her boyfriend were seized. An early clip released by Hamas showed her pleading for her life as she was taken away on the back of a motorbike.
The idea that Hamas “treat hostages well” is such a viciously stupid and deceitful claim I don’t even know where to start. You should be ashamed of yourself for spreading such vile idiocy, and for accepting at face value the message of a desperate hostage held at gunpoint in a Jihadist terror dungeon.
Reminder that hostages were more afraid to be killed by israel’s bombing than by Hamas
From every single hostage released we hear the same story, they were treated well, not beaten, just underfed when food started running out after a few weeks just like every other Palestinian in Gaza.
Numerous women who were released have testified that they and many of the other women they met in the tunnels had been brutalised, sexually assaulted and raped, as well as verification by doctors.

yet again, the grayzone is not a reputable source. Also, just because there is some incorrect information about the october 7 attacks, it doesn’t invalidate widely documented, independently verified evidence of the crimes commited.
There Was No Cover-Up of Hamas’s Sexual Violence on October 7 .
You are literally backing rapists who documented their own crimes. It’s beyond disgusting if you ask me.

I’m not interested in either The Grayzone or your own attempts at Holocaust denial. Blocked.
Bye bye :)
good! reporting helps, too.
From this source:
Also important to note, it is likely that some hostages are treated under “acceptable” conditions for propaganda purposes. Also, many hostages’ family members were murdered on october 7. So that unto itself very much contradicts with the absurd claim that they were “treated well”.

They murdered 1200 people.
disinformation. debunked here and here.
Only 36 out of the 1139 deaths (not 1200) were children.
And a massive amount of them were burnt to a crisp in the Kibbutzes where the IDF also counted 250 Hamas fighters that the IDF initially counted as “israelis burnt beyond recognition”.
So you think those Hamas fighters spontaneously combusted?
Furthermore plenty of witness testimonies from israelis that were that say that the IDF tanks shot children in kubbutzes.
There is no reputable source backing this up. It is disinformation.
Israelis said it on live TV lol.
