On Tuesday (24th October), the Hamas terrorists released two Israeli hostages among the 220 held. The two released women have been identified as Nurit Cooper, 79, and Yochaved Lifshitz, 85. It is being said that these two were released due to their deteriorating health conditions. While some of the Islamist and left-leaning media portals lauded the terrorists for providing the women with medicines and tea during their captivity, one of the women talked to the media after being released by Hamas terrorists to reveal that she went through hell and was beaten by the terrorists.
Several Islamists and media channels released videos of the women being released by the Hamas terrorists and claimed that they were being offered tea and cookies. The Islamists also referred to the Hamas terrorists who launched a brutal attack on Israel on 7th October as ‘fighters’.
One of the social media users shared a video clip by BBC News media which showed the daughter of one of the women praising the terrorists. The daughter could be heard saying that the terrorists treated her mother well and gave her medicines. “Another major blow to Israel’s propaganda machine,” the Islamist user tweeted.

Several media houses also painted the terrorists as ‘generous’ for providing the released hostages with tea and cookies. However, one of the released women talked to the media and said that she was assaulted and that she had to see hell on this Earth due to Hamas terrorists.

Interestingly, there seems to be a pattern for cherry-picking statements and actions to justify the brutality that Islamic terrorists unleash on their victims. One can safely assume that any victim of such brutality when released from captivity, would be in shock. The victim would also feel gratitude for being released from captivity and in that moment, while still in fear by the torture inflicted, may make statements downplaying the brutality that she faced. However, for the Islamists to use that moment of fear to whitewash the crimes mounted by Jihadis only goes to show how desperate the ecosystem is to paint Hamas as good samaritans instead of the terrorists they are, given that they beheaded, raped, tortured and murdered over 1500 Jews.
The Islamists who cherry-picked her statement to claim that Hamas terrorists were humanitarians, conveniently failed to mention the details of her ordeal and the torture she faced at the hands of the terrorists.
While the Islamists tried to paint Hamas as good samaritans, the released woman identified as Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, said, “They beat me, laid me on a motorcycle, and rode through the fields with me towards Gaza. They brought me to the tunnels; we walked kilometres underground. They beat me in the ribs, even with sticks.”
Further exposing the brutality of the Hamas terrorists, the woman said that she was abducted on a motorbike by the terrorists and her head was on one side and her body on the other when on the bike. “When I was on the bike, my head was on one side and the rest of my body on the other side. The young men hit me on the way. They didn’t break my ribs but it was painful and I had difficulty breathing,” she was quoted as saying.
“I’ve been through hell … we didn’t think or know we would get to this situation,” she added.
The large influential accounts who shared Hamas giving tea to the 85 years old hostages yesterday were only helping the murderous Hamas terrorists spread their propaganda.

The woman also stated that they were provided with only one time of meal and that barely included a cucumber and some cheese. ‘I was assaulted and beaten with sticks,” she reiterated.
However, the released hostage revealed that the terrorists seemed prepared for this situation as they had everything in there that men and women needed including shampoo. “They treated us well and provided all our needs. They also ate the same food as they provided it to us,” the woman added.
After being released, the woman could be seen shaking hands with the terrorists. On asking about it, she said that she did so because she was treated ‘well’ during the captivity and was provided with medicines.

Notably, Lifshitz’s husband is still held hostage by the Hamas terrorists. It is important to note that the Hamas terrorists launched a brutal attack on the Jewish state on 7th October killing around 1400 Israelis and injuring several others.
The terrorists raped the Israeli women, murdered and removed the body parts of the Jewish people, and also didn’t spare the elders and the children. The attack on Israel by the Hamas terrorists marks one of the most brutal attacks in history.
After the attack by Hamas, Israel launched a counter-attack on Gaza last week. Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported over 5,000 Palestinians have been killed so far, including over 2,000 children and 1,100 women as well as journalists, medical workers, and first responders, with more than 15,000 injured.
