Whatever happened to "our best and brightest"
But their anger is directed primarily at Hamas, which they hold responsible for putting the people of Gaza in this position, and for its continued refusal to end the war that it started.
Evyatar David, 24, was kidnapped at the Nova Music Festival on Oct. 7, 2023, during the terrorist attack by Hamas in which 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage.
"The video shows David looking visibly gaunt as he ticks off days on a calendar in a narrow tunnel. Another section of the video shows him being forced to dig a hole in the ground that he says will be his grave." . . .
"While Evyatar David, kidnapped by Hamas, looks like a walking skeleton, terrorists from Palestinian "Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad feast just meters away.
"The hostages are STARVING. TORTURED. ABUSED.
"Where is the outrage?
"Evyatar and all the hostages must be freed IMMEDIATELY and given urgent medical care and proper food." . . .
Hamas Wants Gaza to Starve . . ."Despite the surge of hundreds of trucks into Gaza over the past four days, very few supplies have made it into warehouses to be distributed to the population. Aid shipments are being seized by a combination of desperate civilians, lawless gangs, clan-affiliated thugs, and merchants of death. Chaos and apocalyptic scenery are the norm, not the exception. There is no denying the reality of the widespread malnutrition and hunger in the Gaza Strip." . . .
"A recent and glaring example involves a picture of a sick child in Gaza, falsely portrayed as a victim of starvation caused by Israel. It’s egregious that photos of the 5-year-old boy have been misused to blame Israel for his condition, buffering claims that Israel is starving children.
"The fact is that this child suffers from a serious genetic illness. But had Hamas not pilfered billions in financial aid to build up a network of terror, perhaps today there would have been medical facilities in Gaza in which he could be treated. On June 12, Israeli troops coordinated his evacuation from Gaza, along with his mother and brother.
"This case exemplifies how fake news is crafted and disseminated to vilify Israel and fuel anti-Israel narratives. The manipulation of this image as demonstrating allegations of famine in Gaza made headlines in major outlets like The New York Times, CNN, Sky News, The Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Express and others (just in English). It reveals a troubling pattern of media bias, and the distortion of truth to demonize a nation. Even worse, it depicts a lie.
"The picture depicts a frail child, seemingly on the brink of death, being comforted by his mother. Widely circulated, it was presented as evidence of a famine in Gaza, with Israel cast as the perpetrator. Far from being the cause of his suffering, Israel facilitated his medical evacuation for treatment. The image, while real, was stripped of its context and repurposed to fit a narrative that falsely accused Israel of causing famine in Gaza."...
