Allow me to suggest Americans voted for #Trump BECAUSE of the #falseflag #genocide protests that held college campus #hostage around the world.
Everyone is sympathetic to #Palestinians who support #Democracy but there is a fundamental American style of #peaceful #protest that #freepalestine failed to grasp.

"Freed Israeli #hostage Eli Sharabi, who was beaten, chained and starved while held for 491 days by #Hamas, expressed his anger during an appearance at the #UN Security Council on Thursday for having to suffer for so long and worry every day about being killed.
#torture
“Where was the #UnitedNations? Where was the #redcross Where was the world?” Sharabi asked."

AP News · Israeli hostage freed after 491 days asks: Where was the United Nations, the Red Cross, the world?By Edith M. Lederer

URGENT: According to the Prisoners Media Office, Attorney Ghaida Qasem from #Nazareth visited Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in "Ofer" prison after over 70 days in detention, including 14 days in the notorious "Sde Teiman" detention center.

She reported that Dr. Abu Safiya was first held in "Sde Teman" for 14 days in isolation, then transferred to "Ofer," where he spent another 25 days in solitary confinement.

His longest interrogation lasted 13 consecutive days, with each session spanning 8-10 hours. He endured severe #abuse, #torture, and relentless #brutality throughout.

Before his arrest, Abu Safiya’s son was martyred in Gaza and buried temporarily near Kamal Adwan #Hospital. His first question during the visit was whether his son had received a proper and dignified burial. He was also deeply affected by his mother’s passing 10 days after his arrest.

Qasem noted: "He had no idea that his case had gained such widespread local, Arab, and international attention. Prisoners are almost completely isolated inside the prison, and they do not know what is happening outside, nor are they aware of developments in Gaza."

Regarding the torture and repression Abu Safiya recounted, Qasem said: "If we are talking about 'Sde Teman,' it is a slaughterhouse in every sense of the word. The torture, violations, and starvation there are unprecedented. We are talking about prisoners who have been shackled for 10 months, prisoners with amputated limbs without medical care, elderly detainees who are bound and blindfolded, detainees who have lost 70 to 90 kilograms of weight. In addition, there is the extreme cold—prisoners are held in open cages, exposed to the wind and rain, forced to sit on the ground at all times, forbidden from speaking to one another, praying, or reading the #Quran."

She continued: "In addition to the physical torture, there is psychological torment, as intelligence officers inform prisoners that their entire families have been martyred."

The occupation authorities attempted to charge him but, after 45 days of interrogations and torture, failed to find any evidence. His case was reverted to "unlawful combatant" status, stripping him of all legal rights, including representation and formal charges, allowing indefinite detention.

Despite his suffering, Abu Safiya remains in high spirits. He emphasized: “A person is their history, and their history is a stance that is taken and studied.”

Last month, zionist media aired footage of Abu Safiya, shackled and visibly exhausted, in a Channel 13 interview—the first since his arrest on December 27, 2024. This followed the occupation's decision to classify him as an "unlawful combatant" and reports of his torture, mistreatment, and medical neglect.

I've been a advocate for #Israel because of my personal experience as a #hostage in a negotiation.

This is my train stop.

There is no future for #Hamas and the future for Israel has gone dark.
"The US and Israel have rejected an #Arab plan for the post-war reconstruction of the #Gaza Strip that would allow the 2.1 million #Palestinians living there to stay in place."
