One of the hostages, recently released from Gaza, revealed on Wednesday that he was held for nearly 50 days in an attic by a teacher from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
The story was publicized on X by Channel 13 journalist Almog Boker.
The hostage also said that the teacher who held him captive was a father of 10 children. He had barely been provided food or medical attention, and was locked away by the teacher, he said.
Jerusalem Post really looks like a moderate and balanced source of exemplary journalism. /s
When you look up their history, it’s pretty wild. The former owner was a conservative that was pardoned by Trump for embezzling millions of dollars from his company. And the current editor was involved in far-right politics before taking his position, which explains why they source some of their content from the New York Post. Not to be outdone, the current owner was investigated by police for allegedly giving Netanyahu positive coverage in exchange for legislation that would hurt a rival newspaper.
Unrwa has been caught paying teachers to teach gazN children to hate israel. They had to fire 6-7 recently because they caught them on video.
Not much substance here.
…the hostage’s statements after 8 weeks in captivity is not enough for you? What would satisfy you?
The claim isn’t “Lasers shot out of his eyes” or something sensational. The claim is “My jailer was a teacher with 10 kids who is paid by the United Nations in his dayjob.” Why does that statement require extraordinary levels of proof?
It’s a opinion piece built on assumptions.
That’s not an answer to my question: what evidence would satisfy you?
The testimony of a survivor is not an “opinion piece built on assumptions.” Would you say that a rape survivor’s account is an “opinion piece built on assumptions” if reported in the press?
Ill wait for actual reporting to occur.
you believe Hamas media statements without a second thought but direct testimony from one of the people literally to have been held captive by those cunts is what is a bridge too far? at least your ignorance is obvious
No, first reports are always wrong. Doesn’t matter who it is.
this is a stupidly idiotic thing to believe
It’s the smartest way to approach news.
I see no names and a few paragraphs of a victims opinion of who they thought was there and where they thought they were.
The first reports are ALWAYS WRONG.
Cope
I’m perfectly ready to believe that among the many people who work for UNRWA, there are some with Hamas. However, UNRWA as an organization does not serve Hamas or their goals, and I’d need some damn good evidence to believe otherwise.
Idk about you guys, but I’m willing to take Israeli state media at face value every day.
I mean, this is the paper owned by the guy who was investigated by police for giving positive coverage to Netanyahu in exchange for legislation that would hurt a rival newspaper. They seem very trustworthy to me.
Neither channel 13, nor Jerusalem Post, are Israeli State Media?
Seems the years long rumors of social organizations being infiltrated by jihadists are true. Explains reports of hamas rushing to hospitals with hostages, only for doctors to later say hamas was never there, as well
Interesting that posts where anti-Hamas views are upvoted get removed (the post that was just removed about 9-month old Kfir Bibas being killed in captivity), but the posts where anti-Hamas views get downvoted stay up. Funny that.

The modlog says it was removed because of a violation of rule 1, (presumably the part about titles not matching.)
- Title on article: “Hamas announces death of youngest hostage Kfir Bibas”
- Title on post: “Hamas announces death of the youngest hostage (10 months old)”
They are very similar. Replacing her name with her age warranted removal? I think that’s a shame because there was a lot of good discussion going on there that is now lost.

While there are unconfirmed reports like school field trips to the tunnels the radicalization of gazan children is documented on videos where the teachers make them chant about killing jews.
