The sheer hospitality and kindness of the kidnappers was just too much for his little heart.
Hopefully he shook their hand and thanked them for the excellent hospitality on the way out
From all the reports I’ve seen they were treated nicely, given the same food as the guards and the ones in critical condition were released. They can’t really help Israel killing hostages in airstrikes.
Edit: Rather than downvote read an actual account from one of the released hostages https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/24/middleeast/israel-hostages-freed-lifshitz-cooper-intl-hnk/index.html
She says she was beaten during the actual kidnapping, but after that the treatment was generous, with the same food as the guards and access to doctors and femenine hygiene products.
The remaining hostages include Lifshitz and Cooper’s husbands, Oded Lifshitz, 83, and Amiram Cooper, 85.
I, too, would have only the best to say about my kidnappers if they still hold my husband hostage. How fucking naive and stupid can one be?

How about not fucking kidnapping people and taking them hostage? “Oh we can’t help if people die while we keep them imprisoned in our hospital fortress while we keep shooting thousands of rockets at Israel.” Fucking ridiculous
I’m not defending their actions, but under their circumstances it isn’t surprising they behaved how they did.

It’s almost as if it’s a cycle of violence. Maybe both parties could make some progress towards peace if they’d just stop killing each other’s children.
Yup. Alternatively build a giant wall to separate them so they cannot hurt each other for a few generations and then try again.
