Another hostage report (trigger warning)

He went to Nova to dance. That's all:

Alon Ohel's family has received the first sign of life from him since his brutal kidnapping on October 7th, 2023, relayed by hostages who were released yesterday.

"He has shrapnel in his eye, he has shrapnel in his shoulder, he has shrapnel in his arm.

Alon was bound in chains this entire time, and he had almost no food—at most one pita a day, over a very, very, very long time, more than a year."

Alon will mark his 24th birthday tomorrow. He was 22 when he was kidnapped by Hamas.

It most likely is that the remaining hostages, those who are still alive, are in such a dire state that Hamas doesn’t want the world to see them.

Why should anyone trust them now? Do they understand what they have done to their reputation by ignoring hostages and participating in Hamas events?

When does the world start caring about the double standards applied to Israel? Ever?

They have collaborated with the haters of Jews since WWII.
