Do not misrepresent Noa Argamani's story. The Israeli hostages taken by Hamas are enduring severe torture as we speak.
Recently, Noa Argamani, an Israeli hostage who was freed from captivity by Hamas, shared an Instagram story urging the Israeli media not to misinterpret her words. She recounted her ordeal in captivity, clarifying that her injuries were caused by an Israeli airstrike, not by her captors' violence.
Some pro-Palestinian supporters have seized this moment to cast Hamas in a more favorable light, portraying the group as morally principled. This narrative is deeply misleading.
Almog Meir Jan, another Israeli hostage rescued by Israel's special forces alongside Noa Argamani, recounted his harrowing experience in an interview: he and his fellow hostages were subjected to daily beatings and torture. They were handcuffed for weeks and warned that any attempt to speak would result in brutal beatings.
Mia Regev, an Israeli hostage released during a prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas, described being shot in the leg during captivity to prevent her escape. She was left untreated for weeks, and her captors targeted her bullet wound during beatings. One particularly cruel captor even pressed his finger into her wound to inflict excruciating pain.
Amit Soussana, another released Israeli hostage, was the first Israeli woman to publicly speak about the sexual assault and other forms of violence she endured. Her captors beat her, sexually assaulted her, and held a gun to her head regularly.
The reality is clear: Israelis are being tortured and raped in captivity. Regardless of one's political stance, the only path to peace lies in the return of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas. Hamas is not a friend to Israel, nor to the Palestinian people.
