Human beings are not bargaining chips – release the captives now

According to the most recent information, at least 222 people kidnapped in Hamas’ attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, including soldiers and foreign nationals, are currently being held in the Gaza Strip. Among them are at least 30 babies, children and teenagers under 18, between 10 and 20 people over sixty, and individuals with medical conditions, injuries or disabilities. With dozens still missing since the attack, the number of captives is likely higher.

I appreciate the sarcasm. It's absurd, isn't it? But the "Hamas hoards/steals food" narrative should not be accepted. AloeVera Jul 26 #9
