If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.
Dear Members of the @PulitzerPrizes board,
My name is Emily Damari. I was held hostage in Gaza for over 500 days.
On the morning of October 7, I was at home in my small studio apartment in Kibbutz Kfar Aza when Hamas terrorists burst in, shot me and dragged me across the border into Gaza. I was one of 251 men, women, children, and elderly people kidnapped that day from their beds, their homes, and a music festival.
For almost 500 days I lived in terror. I was starved, abused, and treated like I was less than human. I watched friends suffer. I watched hope dim. And even now, after returning home, I carry that darkness with me - because my best friends, Gali and Ziv Berman are still being held in the Hamas terror tunnels.
So imagine my shock and pain when I saw that you awarded a Pulitzer Prize to Mosab Abu Toha.
This is a man who, in January, questioned the very fact of my captivity. He posted about me on Facebook and asked, “How on earth is this girl called a hostage?” He has denied the murder of the Bibas family. He has questioned whether Agam Berger was truly a hostage. These are not word games - they are outright denials of documented atrocities.
You claim to honor journalism that upholds truth, democracy, and human dignity. And yet you have chosen to elevate a voice that denies truth, erases victims, and desecrates the memory of the murdered.
Do you not see what this means? Mosab Abu Toha is not a courageous writer. He is the modern-day equivalent of a Holocaust denier. And by honoring him, you have joined him in the shadows of denial.
This is not a question of politics. This is a question of humanity. And today, you have failed it.
Once, “Free Palestine” meant freedom for Jews - from British rule.
Today, it’s been twisted into something entirely different.
Same slogan. Different truth.
Gaza receives a daily average of 600-800 trucks full of food, shelter supplies and medical equipment. Our partners at the CMCC table see it.
Not one of these trucks are UNRWA’s.
UNRWA keeps pushing the fiction that “if it’s not UNRWA, no aid enters Gaza.” It’s just the latest link in a long chain of falsehoods. And honestly, given how deeply Hamas has infiltrated the organization, this is one of UNRWA’s smaller sins.
I have actually never heard gal gadot talk about israel or palestine other than to wish for peace. she is from what I can tell just a woman who is from israel. the left's normalization of hasan piker is so fucking dark.
I have just seen the unedited footage of the October 7th attacks. Please read:
What I saw was young men chopping off heads, shooting everything in sight, slaughtering little crying kids calling for their mummy, throwing grenades inside houses and cars and shelters, maiming bodies, playing with them, setting humans on fire, looking like it's the happiest day of their life.
They call their relatives to celebrate how many they have killed. The parents back in Gaza are thrilled. They cheer and ask for more.
"Bring back some heads for the people to play with" - asks a commander. The savages wilfully oblige, using flick knives to remove the skulls from slaughtered bodies like butchers carving up a carcass.
"Bring some home for the people so we can crucify them in the square" the Hamas leaders order.
The mangled, blood soaked bodies of hostages were paraded through the streets. The Gazan crowds cheered and filmed, celebrating or coming to spit on the terrified youngsters in the back of pick ups.
The young Hamas brutes with their ecstatic grins, taking selfies, shouting Allahu Akbar, looked like so many of the young men in dinghies. Trendy clothes, modern phones. Energy and conviction.
The first wave of attackers on October 7th were Hamas soldiers.
The second, amateur conscripts.
The third, Gazan civilians delighted to join in.
What even are these monsters.
I am forever changed, seeing what I have seen. And it isn't fake. It's footage Hamas shot themselves.
Israel must live with that right next door.
I fear we now have it, in hotels and houses around the country
BREAKING: Gazans are pleading with the world to stop Hamas from continuing public executions, saying that hundreds have been murdered in just the past 72 hours.
Where is the media?
Where are all of the Western ‘pro-Palestinians?’
Hamas killed all the remaining female hostages.
Only men survived.
That entire region has zero respect for women.
This is why they can never be welcome in the West.
Hamas killed every single female hostage they had left so those girls couldn't tell the world what they had done to them.
To everyone who walks on a 'free palestine' march
To everyone who flies that islamo-fascist flag
To everyone who chants from the river to the sea
Fuck you.
