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.
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.
This is actual reporting. It was reported by Almog Boker on Channel 13 in Israel. Or is “actual reporting” some kind of new Hamas dog-whistle?
It’s neither classified nor labeled as an opinion piece. On jpost.com those have /opinion/ in the url. Example.
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.
