"Hamas Resistance Fighters were 'gentle and provided for our needs'" Released Israeli hostage

Israeli captive Yocheved Lifshitz shares her harrowing experience of being kidnapped by Hamas. Despite the initial trauma, she describes her Hamas captors as "friendly" and providing them with everything they needed, including food.

An elderly Israeli hostage who was released by Hamas overnight said she had been beaten when she was taken to Gaza on Oct. 7, but was then treated well during her two-week captivity in the Palestinian enclave.

Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, was one of two women freed late on Monday, leaving around 220 hostages still in the hands of Hamas, including both of their husbands.

"I've been through hell," Lifshitz told reporters, speaking in barely a whisper and seated in a wheelchair outside the Tel Aviv hospital, where she was taken following her release. Looking frail, Lifshitz said gunmen had burst into her kibbutz, Nir Oz, taking residents by surprise. "They stormed into our homes. They beat people. They kidnapped others, the old and the young without distinction," she said.
Lifshitz herself was put on a motorbike and driven into nearby Gaza.

The freed captive told journalists they were treated well and ate the same food as the militants

Inside Gaza, a group of hostages were led into what Lifshitz called a "spider's web" of tunnels that Hamas had built beneath the coastal territory. A group of five people from her kibbutz were held together, each with an individual guard who stayed with them 24 hours a day.

Lifshitz said a doctor visited them every other day and brought them the medicines they needed.
"They took good care of the wounded," Lifshitz said. Lifshitz also notes that the women were responsible for maintaining good hygiene and ensuring that all prisoners were not contaminated by infections. Lifshitz does not wish to speak about politics, but rather focuses on the kindness and care she received while being held captive.

"They were very nice"

Video of her release on Monday showed her turning around to shake the hand of a masked captor. Asked why she had done that, she replied: "They treated us gently and met all our needs."


Lifshitz was critical on Tuesday of the Israeli military for failing to protect southern communities from the Hamas assault, saying the army had not taken the threat of attack seriously. "We were left to fend for ourselves," she said. She added that a costly security fence that was meant to keep militants out "didn't help at all".




They aren’t “resistance fighters”.

So what about the ones they killed? Is that why Hamas started the attacks to show the world how kind they are?
 
That there's a varying degree of humanity within any group isn't surprising. Those hostages released are most fortunate but to conclude that their gentle treatment was the rule and not the exception, let's see the release of all those held by Hamas.

If your enemies murder 6,000 of your people (mostly babies and women) and are still bombing your hospitals, mosques and churches, would you return the captives you have (who you were also earlier nice to them) for free (for humanitarian and poor health grounds as declared)?!
Hamas created this situation.
 
Of course they treated the ones they PLANNED on releasing well, it's all propaganda.
so true----the cynical USE of hostages is bad enough---why would anyone want to exacerbate the islamic filth
further by exploiting the statements of elderly women
who left friends still in the hands of islamic perversity?
 
Executive Director of UNICEF "Israel is killing or injuring 420 children a day"
"U.S. Gov't "Let's make sure Israel has enough money and ammo"

roflmao @ executive director of unicef. Got any more
comments from Unicef regarding the events of and
since Oct. 7?
 
Bad for your agenda?
It is consistent with the popular magazine
"INSPIRE" which was authored by such notable
muslim idols as AL AWLAKI ----I believe he authored
"make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom"---the
"inspiration" of the Boston Pressure cooker bomb
heroes. The events of Oct 7, 2023 in Israeli houses
and nurseries----serve as an INSPIRATION to muslims
worldwide
 
Were they gentle with the 1500 women and children they slaughtered?

What about the hostages they have now but refuse to release?

Those hostages not yet release are the only means of preventing Hamas from being murdered.
Its Israel that started all the crimes, going back 80 years, and could have had peace any time, just by following the law, allowing the right of return, and not violating the UN partition line.
 
Thats why SHE was released. Some captives were likely treated humanely, but many others werent. Hamas wont be releasing any of their rape victims.

That is just a lie.
Hamas has never been associated with a single rape.
I do not like Islam, but that is because they are too strict.
They would never commit rape.
 
Who knows if it’s even true? The Hamas Savages might have told her to tell the world how wonderfully they were treated, after torturing other Jews to death by burning them alive or lopping off their heads, or the remaining hostages would be tortured or killed.

You are totally irrational.
The whole point of decapitation as a means of execution is that it is quickest and least painful.
Islam is totally against torture or rape.
So then clearly you are lying.

Why would you even push such an obviously false claim? These raving mad butchering terrorists are the only group of people on Earth incapable of rape? Are you seriously going with that angle? Youre a blithering fucking idiot. :cuckoo:
