Freed Israeli soldier: Hamas respected our Jewish traditions, holidays

www.trtworld.com Freed Israeli soldier: Hamas respected our Jewish traditions, holidays

Agam Berger recalls being offered a Jewish prayer book, observing Passover and Yom Kippur while held in Gaza, while many freed Palestinians report torture, neglect, and rights violations in Israeli jails.

An Israeli soldier recently released from Gaza has told media that Hamas allowed her and other prisoners to observe Jewish traditions and holidays, permitting them to practice their religious rituals.

Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth published an interview on Wednesday with Agam Berger, who was recently released from Gaza as part of the prisoner swap deal with the Palestinian resistance group.

She recalled that she and other captives "were surprised" when Hamas provided them with various items, including a Jewish prayer book, known in Hebrew as siddur.

"We have no idea how it happened, but they simply handed us prayer books," she said, describing the issue for her as "particularly unusual." "It (the prayer book) wasn't random ... it arrived exactly when we needed it most," Berger said.

- Officially they killed less than 800, realistically a good fraction of those were killed by Israeli fire under the hannibal directive. In regards to the raping, we already know that didnt happen on a systematic scale.
  EDIT: Actually turns out there might not have been any rape at all https://tribune.com.pk/story/2520789/israeli-prosecutor-confirms-no-rape-allegations-from-october-7-attacks
  
  There's only been evidence of sexual assault of one Israeli hostage during captivity so far. To my knowledge nothing else has come to light. (1, 2, 3) The torture and rape of Palestinians (including children) in Israeli prisons however...
- Moran Gaz, the former head of the security cases division at the Southern District Prosecutor’s Office in Israel and a member of 'Team 7.10,' which is responsible for cases involving captured Palestinians in connection with the October 7 attacks recently admitted that her department has found no evidence to substantiate the claims of "mass" and "systematic" rape by Hamas.
- Zionazis not even trying to keep their claims credible anymore
  
  Zionazis
  brilliant! i'm going to steal this. lol
  
  I don't like it. Might be accurate, but it brings to mind "feminazis" a usage which undermines the usage of nazi as a suffix. Even though "Zionazi" wouldn't be undermining it on its own, the precedent ruins it. "Zionist Nazi" is better IMO.
- Impressive how every claim you made was false.
- Except none of that actually happened. What actually happened is that Israel slaughtered its own civilians that day.
- That would be like me declaring repeatedly that I want to marry Sydney Sweeney. If she was making every minute of my life a living hell…I might be onto something here.
