Doctor treating freed Hamas hostages reveals unprecedented abuse

I can't even imagine what they went through and what those still held captive are going through. For those that survive and are released, the trauma will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Severe psychological torture to the point where the hostages are hallucinating. Beatings and rape. Starvation. And not only have the children been kidnapped and seen murder and rape, but I read an article that said the children were BRANDED with hot metal so they were marked as hostages and that they were drugged. One little boy spoke of beatings and being forced to watch videos of the terrorists slaughtering people. What kind of person can do these things to children? This is not 'freedom fighting'.

Doctor treating freed Hamas hostages reveals unprecedented abuse: 'We have to rewrite the textbooks'

A doctor treating freed Hamas hostages in Israel says survivors are suffering from an unprecedented level of "extremely severe psychological abuse" endured during captivity. "I can tell you that on behalf of all the medical and psychological teams treating those who return, the mental states we encountered have no precedent in medical literature. We feel that we have to rewrite the textbooks of post-trauma," Dr. Renana Eitan told "Sunday Night in America."

"Those held captive were subject to starvation, to beating, to sexual abuse. They were being held in inhumane sanitary conditions. Extremely severe psychological abuse was inflicted on them, including separation from family members, separation of siblings, separation of children from their mothers. They were held in solitary confinement and spent long days in total darkness until they developed severe hallucinations," Eitan claimed. "Children were forced to watch brutal videos. They were under constant threats by weapons and threats to harm them even after they were released. They refer to the forced use of psychiatric drugs and other substances."

Eitan also detailed cases where individuals, though appearing physically unharmed, are dealing with "severe post-traumatic symptoms." "Some of the home comers, they look happy, they look fine, they look physically fine, and we try to hold on to those optimistic signs, but still, even those who seem fine, we know that most of them [are] suffering from severe post-traumatic symptoms, they have painful, traumatic memories. And they are entering into dissociative states, where for a moment they feel as if they are still in captivity and only later do they return to the understanding that they have been released," she said.

Ham as Refused To Release Ten Female Hostages - They Don't Want The Women To Reveal What They Were Subjected To

Hamas terrorists are refusing to release ten of their female hostages because they do not want them to reveal what they have been subjected to while being held captive, a US official has claimed.

State Department spokesperson Matt Miller said that this was the reason the week-long ceasefire, which came after Hamas agreed to release over 100 hostages over several days, ended.

Mr Miller said: 'It seems that one of the reasons Hamas doesn't want to turn women over that they've been holding hostage, and the reason this pause fell apart, is they don't want those women to be able to talk about what happened to them during their time in custody.'

I read somewhere that Hamas was telling the hostages that they had killed all their families and nobody was coming for them because Israel was gone.
What an evil mind job.

But...but...Hamas are freedom fighters, fighting against an oppressive regime. It's all Israel's fault that these sub-humans freedom fighters have to stoop to such depravity.

It sounds like the Pitesti Experiments.

No surprise our modern communists are supporting these atrocities.

Yeah .. there is nothing 'freedom fighter' about rape and torture. The psychologists are going to have their hands full trying to help these people. The ones that survive that is. The former hostages are reporting that they were psychologically tortured to the point of hallucinations. That's really bad. WHY isn't the anti-semitic UN condemning these things? Oh yes ...that's right ... they haven't even gotten around to formally condemning the Oct 7 terrorist attack yet, let alone how the hostages are being treated.

The German death squads in World War Two were deliberately kept drunk and given amphetamine to enable them to continue with the extermination. Alcohol and drugs are forbidden to Muslims and these sub-humans savages do the same and worse stone cold sober.

When the naked defiled body of the german tourist girl was paraded through the streets literally thousands of civilised peace loving Gazans took turns to cheerfully slap her with shoes and not one made any attempt to intervene.

Based on these things Israel removing a few more adherents to the religion of peace is doing the world a massive favour.

32 American men women and children were slaughtered on October 7th by Hamas.

If cowards Joe Biden and Benjamin Netanyahu had assassinated the four leaders of HAMAS immediately after October 7th, the long-term torture of hostages would not have happened. Most likely, the fighters would have surrendered.

Hamas is a Muslim terrorist group. Muslims allow women to get raped if they are inappropriately dressed in a lot of areas or if they are labeled as being not proper woman by their religion. That is their culture. Lots of Muslims do not follow that practice, you cannot label all Muslims as bad people. Women in their culture know the rules...the same goes for women in India.

I have no doubt that Hamas is raping women, by their rules it is allowable in many cases. If a Terrorist goes into a private house, that woman's head has to be covered to protect her, even in her own home. If she is in a nightgown, she is fair game yet it is the opinion of the males of Hamas that judges that in this situation. In your own home, a woman is not required to cover her head and dress appropriately unless other people other than her family are present...think about it, those terrorists are not family, that woman should be appropriately be dressed even in bed for company over.

There is no justification for what Hamas did in my mind, they are twisting Islam to fit their desire to kill, torture, and rape people. That is not what Mohammad would approve of by any means.

Children were branded with hot motorcycle exhaust and the hot exhaust pipe.

Hamas Branded the Jewish Children and Caged the Female Hostages

Hostages report having been beaten, threatened with death, underfed, kept in cages and denied medical care.

Female hostages were kept in cages, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a group set up in the wake of the attack, revealed on Monday.

Children were branded in case they escaped, according to Yaniv Yaakov, the uncle of the brothers Or, 16, and Yagil, 12, who were freed on Nov. 27.

“Every child that Hamas took was taken on a motorcycle, and they took each child and put their leg in front of the exhaust pipe, which caused a burn to mark the children so that in case they ran away or fled, they could find them,” he said.

A Thai hostage who was released told Israel’s Channel 12 that the Jewish captives were beaten with electric cables. Israeli hostages were treated worse than the others, he said.

How is there a “political solution” to this evil? There is a cancer in Gaza and it needs destroyed.

Check this out ...


The hostages were drugged before their release so they'd appear happy for the cameras. ALSO - evidence of 'WAR CRIMES" was found on the bodies of the released hostages.


Freed Israeli Hostages Given Sedatives and Extra Food Before Release

Starved Israeli hostages were fed tranquilizers and extra food right before they were freed by Hamas to make them appear calm and happy for the cameras, Israel said Tuesday.

An Israeli Health Ministry leader told a Knesset Health Committee that the 110 civilian hostages returned in a swap for Palestinian terror suspects last week were given the Israeli brand of Klonopin “to improve their mood,” according to the Times of Israel.

The benzodiazepine-class sedative and muscle relaxant can produce a euphoric feeling, which could explain why at least one hostage went viral for her supposed “look of love” toward a Hamas fighter.

“This is part of the psychological terror Hamas put [the hostages] through,” lawmaker Moshe Saada said, as health officials also noted they had found evidence of “war crimes” on the bodies of some of the freed prisoners, who were captured in a deadly Oct. 7 raid that killed more than 1,200 Israelis.

Why does this seem to make one want to think “well these guys must be the bad guys”? Is this trying to influence one’s opinion? Like propaganda? How strange!

Carry on.

Truth isn't 'propaganda'. It's just truth. And yes, Hamas ARE the bad guys.
Beatings. Rape. Branding of children. Drugs. Starvation. Murder.
Isolation in dark rooms until people hallucinate. etc etc.

Newsflash ... that's BAD.

a reply to: FlyersFan

Not saying it isn't bad, but I am also unwilling to accept that Israel is an innocent little bunny in all this.

As of November 1, Israeli authorities held nearly 7,000 Palestinians from the occupied territory in detention for alleged security offenses, according to the Israeli human rights organization HaMoked. Far more Palestinians have been arrested since the October 7 attacks in Israel than have been released in the last week. Among those being held are dozens of women and scores of children.

Discrimination also pervades the treatment of children. Israeli civil law protects children against nighttime arrests, provides the right to have a parent present during interrogations and limits the amount of time children may be detained before being able to consult a lawyer and to be presented before a justice.

Israeli authorities, however, regularly arrest Palestinian children during nighttime raids, interrogate them without a guardian present, hold them for longer periods before bringing them before a judge and hold those as young as 12 in lengthy pretrial detention. The Association for Civil Rights in Israel found in 2017 that authorities kept 72 percent of Palestinian children from the West Bank in custody until the end of proceedings, but only 17.9 percent of children in Israel.

You deny people basic human dignities and back them into a corner...what did Israel think was going to happen? HAMAS you claim knew that they would get the reaction from Israel they did, are they just smarter than Israel who evidently didn't see that this was inevitable - all things considered?

a reply to: BrucellaOrchitis

You are blaming Israel for the treatment of the hostages when you should be blaming HAMAS. Beatings. Rape. Branding of children. Drugs. Starvation. Murder. Isolation in dark rooms until people hallucinate. etc etc. Israel does NOT do those things, but Hamas DOES. And Hamas has the blessings of the 'Palestinian' people - the vast majority support Hamas. It is sick and it's not 'freedom fighting'.

Those "Children" Israel arrested will be fighting age males (above twelve in Hamas recruitment policy) firing rockets, weilding AK47s, throwing rocks at the police and army etc etc.

About what was expected, sounds like actually war crimes.

As they're crying for above board bombing raids.

"War crime, War Crime, Israel Jewish War Crime! Okay, now starve them, hold them in squalor, force several hours of propaganda watching, psychological abuse, and then rape the 9 year old and say she would look good in a burka. And be sure to remind everyone about all the War crimes Israel is committing!"

a reply to: TheWhat

I've posted the information elsewhere, but what they call 'children' are really teen boys between 15-19 and who got arrested for arson, attempted murder, bombings, etc. That info is on this site somewhere. I'm not going to go hunting for it. They weren't innocent little kids sleeping in their beds at home, they were out breaking the law.

But that's for another topic.

This one - Doctor treating freed Hamas hostages reveals unprecedented abuse. And the UN remains silent. And the Muslim countries remain supportive of Hamas.

a reply to: FlyersFan

As I keep repeatedly pointing out, so does/did the US...

I am not blaming anyone for anything. Not even close to being my place but I don't really have a problem seeing that there are two sides in this. That these things don't happen in isolation.

You seem stuck in a jingoistic mind-loop unable to deviate from the script.
