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.

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 too think killing babies is justified
You just can't hold Hamas accountable, it's all Israel's fault for using force. Somehow it's not Hamas' fault for committing the act of terrorism and war crimes that lead to this situation in the first place. It's like blaming someone for shooting a home invader who planned to rape and kill your family. It's not the homeowners fault they had to shoot them, it's the rapist/murderer's fault for being there.
That being said Israel's government is just as violent and bloodthirsty as radical islam, they're just supported by the West due to Zionism and the idea that "might makes right" means the Israelis are able to commit any atrocity and get away with it because they're "gods chosen people."
What bullshit, fuck the both of them. Abrahamic religions have been holding humanity back for thousands of years.
Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is the only way
lmfao why did they attack
Why did they murder, rape, and kidnap? Because they're terrorists. That's what terrorists do.
So it has nothing to do with the thousands of Palestinians held as political prisoners, the hundreds that Israel had murdered just this year prior to October 7th, or the well-documented and internationally condemned acceleration of illegal settlement creation and expansion? They just hate Israel’s freedom? Is that it?
Israel is a perfect country and can do nothing wrong!
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?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
