While Israel built all its propaganda around a single idea, dehumanizing Hamas, it took only one testifies to a released hostage so that everything collapses.
Yocheved Lifschitz, 85, told the press of his 17 days of captivity in the Hamas metro, the vast network of tunnels.
During a press conference organized on Tuesday 24 October in a hospital in Tel Aviv, this Israeli first returned to her kidnapping on October 7, in Kibbutz Nir Oz.
“They kidnapped me, I was taken on a motorcycle,” she started, “adding that her kidnappers removed her watch and jewelry. I was lying on the motorcycle, my body on one side and my legs on the other and the Shabab (young Palestinians) beat me along the way, they did not break my ribs but hurt me very much and I had trouble breathing. ”
Once in the tunnels, the released hostage evokes another atmosphere and a human treatment on the part of the members of Hamas.
“They made sure that we needed nothing. They treated us well, “said the ex-hostage, saying Hamas was obviously prepared to receive a large number of hostages.
“Very courteous, they were paying attention to the smallest detail, even to female hygiene, we were even given shampoo and we were taking into account all our needs,” she testified, she who was in captivity with around twenty other hostages.
These testimonies did not go unnoticed in Israel where the authorities recognize that this media passage clearly harmed the propaganda developed throughout this war.
Indeed, the media of the Zionist entity described the press conference of this ex-hostage as a “disaster for Israel and a gain for Hamas”.
They criticized the decision to hold the press conference, stressing that international media had relayed its statements on favorable treatment on the part of Hamas members.
Moreover, the public dissemination authority of the occupier reported that Israeli public relations experts qualified the decision to put Levishtiz before the “error” cameras, noting that international media are now talking about “Hamas humanism in the treatment of hostages”.
