Palestinian Terrorists Feeling Entitled to Control the Outcome of their Savagery
"I want to remind the citizens of Israel that every time you eat something or drink something, remember us, the hostages, who don’t have the opportunity to enjoy food or water.""My fear for my life is daily. The military efforts to release me that [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu is selling you is what will end up leading to my death.""I can tell you I have become scared of the army. I am really afraid of the moment the army might get to me, or blow up the place I am located."Alexander Troufanov"[With winter approaching], these hostages, who have been subjected to horrific conditions of abuse, starvation and darkness for over a year, face an increasing risk of losing their lives."The Hostages and Missing Families Forum"I am relieved to see my son alive, but I am very worried to hear what he is saying.""I urge that every effort be made to secure his immediate release and that of all other hostages.""They have no time left."Yelena Troufanov

There
were originally 254 Israeli infants, girls, women, men civilians, IDF
soldiers, migrant farm workers captured by Palestinian terrorists who
invaded southern Israel from Gaza with the specific purpose of looting,
mass rape, mutilations and murder on a grand scale. These terrified
people were taken hostage for the purpose of being used as 'trades' for
Palestinian terrorists held in Israeli prisons, found guilty of crimes
of terror. The hostages have been deprived of liberty, daylight,
hygiene, adequate food provisions and have experienced humiliation and
torture, young women constantly raped. Many have died of privation, ill
health and others have been murdered.
Those
that are left, both dead and alive, are still viewed as prized caches
of human trade. Palestinians know well the penchant of Israelis to try
to move heaven and earth to secure the release of their people from the
tender claws of their enemies. It is not enough for the Palestinians who
in the greater majority fully support their terrorist groups, and
specifically Hamas that had governed Gaza in their exploits of murder,
rape and abduction of innocent children, the elderly, vulnerable women
and others to satisfy their own sense of implacable victimhood.
Those
holding the Israeli hostages enjoy the psychological warfare they
indulge in, a sadistic exercise in savagery outlawed by civilized
people, but perpetrated by those whose seething hatred is unappeasable
and do their utmost to cause suffering and anguish to the families,
friends, colleagues of those helpless victims by staging scenarios where
their prisoners read from scripts given them in an obvious ploy to
manipulate those affected -- which to all effects, is every Israeli
citizen -- to spur efforts to demand of their government the acceptance
of Hamas's conditions for the release of the hostages.
Palestinian
Islamic Jihad, which along with the Popular Front for the Liberation of
Palestine, Hamas and ordinary Palestinian civilians had taken part in
the massacre of October 7, and the hostage-taking, released a video
meant as proof that the hostage being featured is not yet dead. In the
videos released by Hamas and PIJ, drawn and haggard victims plead with
their families, with their government to use all means to secure their
release. The terrorists hope that the end effect of these
heartstring-pulling exercises in pain for Israel, it can turn the
population against its government intent on destroying Palestinian
terror groups.
This
latest video featured Russian-Israeli hostage Alexander 'Sasha'
Troufanov, abducted during the terrorist attack of 2023 from his family
home, held captive for 404 days, in the Gaza Strip. This third video of
Sasha Troufanov has him stating that he and the other captives remaining
-- a hundred in number, but many no longer living -- and receiving
inadequate food, much less basic hygiene products, pleading for the
Israeli public to call for a hostage agreement. He expressed his fear of
being accidentally killed by Israeli Defense Forces on cue; not very
subtle, but quite effective.
The
29-year-old Troufanov was taken hostage from Kibbutz Nir Oz, as was his
mother, Yelena Trouifanov; his grandmother Irena Tati, and his
girlfriend, Sapir Cohen. His father, Vitaly Troufanov was murdered
during the Nir Oz onslaught by Hamas as were 40 other residents of the
Kibbutz. Since the abduction his mother and grandmother were freed in
November of 2023, as requested by Russian President Vladimir Putin,
while Sapir Cohen was released in a ceasefire agreement the same month.
