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, โHow on earth is this girl called a hostage?โ 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.

According to Conde Nast Traveller
This Yom Hashoah is particularly difficult.
Moshe Ridler, 91, survived the Holocaust as a nine year old and came to Israel by himself where he built a beautiful family.
He was murdered on October 7 by Hamas terrorists.
His grandson said that he was โthe best grandfather anyone could ask for. There is nothing that was more important to him than family."
May Mosheโs memory be a blessing.
Five American citizens remain in captivity at the hands of Hamas.
Yet most Americans are unfamiliar with their names because the American media rarely amplifies their stories.
Telling the stories of the American hostages would distract from the politically preferred narrative of Israel as the villain.
Of course. Hamas cowards hide in tunnels, hospitals, schools and refugee camps. Now, behind a holy time.
Hamas must be destroyed and Sinwar brought to justice or eliminated. I fully support Israel's campaign to achieve this.
At any point, Hamas could have ended this burgeoning tragedy to surrender and release every hostage.
Now, they're unwilling to provide a list of any surviving hostages.
Hamas is anathema to peace for Gaza.
Hamas instigated and owns this humanitarian catastrophe.
I don't agree with self-immolation as a protest, but least Aaron Bushnell chose only to burn himself to death, unlike Hamas who chose to start a war by burning women and children to death.
