Tony Robbins asked Hamas captivity survivor Eliya Cohen to share his story for 13k people in his audience.
Tony: "Eliya and Ziv were on October 7 at a concert. And people came in and tried to rape and murder everyone. On that day Eliya had a ring and was going to propose to Ziv.
When the massacre started they ran into a building, they were 40 people there, the terrorists threw a grenade trying to blow everyone up, they were covered in bodies.
He didn't know what happened to his girlfriend, she was buried under the bodies. The terrorists took him as hostage, for 505 days. He is with us today."
Eliya: "During 505 days I was in a cage 50 meters underground in the tunnel, with no food, with no water, tied by my leg, without shower. I didn't know whether my girlfriend is alive, because when they took me I saw them going inside and verifying the murder, shooting everybody.
But I said to myself: "Thanks God that I'm alive". What kept me strong during these 505 days is to think what I still have in my life. I was thinking about the future, I was thinking it will be good because everyone is waiting for me. "
Tomy: "I would argue that one reason he survived and ended up thriving in spite of it all, is that he was grateful. In the middle of the worst thing, the fact that he was alive - he was grateful. What keeps all of us going is something we can envision in the future. "
-----------
Eliya survived and returned to his girlfriend Ziv, who also survived.
There are still 48 hostages held in Gaza by monsters, the same monsters that are the reason for this war still going on.
20 of the hostages are presumed still alive, demand Hamas and other terrorists from Gaza to release them!!! Let them have a future. Let Gazans have a future without Hamas.
