#Hostage #Israel #Gaza
This is the first time I have read the comments and felt so sad about the lack of hope. The last few years have been hideously confusing and extremely stressful. We don’t understand religious conflict with an arrogance that is astounding. But no wonder, God has been misrepresented through religion and kicked out of the schools as well as family. Still we don’t have the humility to even seek God. He is visible in nature, humanity etc. Biblical prophecy is unfolding. The grace of Jesus Christ is our only hope. The only God that gave us a chance at a beautiful future. 🙏
What kind of monsters murder the parents of a 3-year-old girl in front of her eyes and then kidnap her alone for bargaining purposes? The answer is known…
Why there’s no picture of her at this time after she released???
There are trauma specialists overseeing each person’s care. I’m hoping there are no pictures to minimize the anxiety and attention from strangers. I’m not a trained specialist. I know what triggers the feelings of the incident’s initial horror because of my own extended traumatic experiences in childhood . Flash photography or any flashing lights, chaos, and the crowds where those vans are being received would all trigger fear and anxiety, in my opinion. There are trauma specialists overseeing the care of the incoming people. They are likely orchestrating the transfer to make it as calm and comforting a situation as possible. I don’t think a stranger taking a picture would be part of that.
The medical team will likely need to take her picture, but it would include talking to her to calm her, asking her permission, letting her know what it’s for, etc. Trying to make it feel as non-invasive as possible
Trauma is a b*$@&
Israeli is a fascist state and is realizing Palestinians HOSTAGES stored in prisons – CHILDREN/ 👧- arrested at age 5 and released at age 15 because of the Oct 7 event.
Do not make this a Zionist report – this Terror must end
Poor little girl. To see her parents murdered and then being kidnapped. The trauma she went through.
It’s heartbreakig. She went thru this BUT….for every one ☝️ of this girl is 200 or more children who are HOSTAGES IN ISRAELI JAILS
May blow your mind but Israel has a lot more teens that were finally let back to their families. They also have powerful emotions that you may want to share if your Israeli bosses allow.
They were in prison for a reason in america we call them criminals
Hamas Pure Evil
Does the torrerist release hostages?
they have damaged those kids for life.
Lucky she is not married of …they marry them young😢
Terrorist release hostages but in are good condition, really these are Terrorist shame on
Why don’t you refer to Palestinians? Are the not human? Or as valuable? You all disgust me I am Hispanic and I see all this abuse. I see how we are treated all of us all minorities you have one kid one white kid that gives you money and you think that kid is worth 1000 kids from kids by force I don’t feel any pity I think they are all guilty and she will be just the same as her parents.
🤡
I feel sorry for so many Americans who are blind and not seeing that their tax money is being spend to fuel the genocide
Bring home Noa Argamani as well. Her father is dying inside.
Hamas and Gazans just a bunch of white people.
Always playing the victim.
The irony is the western politicians defend this believer’s are religion of peace, there are still protest in West for the Hamas, can you believe it, kidnapping a little girl, what kind of demons do this, hopefully Trump will be able to hold Qatar responsible for being hand in gloves with terrorist group, Qatar is directly responsible for the deaths of the Americans killed by Hamas, Qatar leadership should be brought to justice,
American bias racism talking about hostages but not talking about 15000 faceless, nameless Palestinian killed in 50 days. Thousands injured bombing of hospitals, water and food supply. Biden supported war crimes and apartheid terrorist government. 80 years of years of war crimes atrocities against humanity displaced from their homes and extermination of Palestinian civilians. Shameful!! No mention of babies lost lives bombing and incubators they were children and babies but they don’t care. Racism and bigotry of media and Biden.
😢😢😢God protect her always ❤
Any real President of America would have immediately demanded our people released especially the children. Otherwise they would have our Marines to face.
We should never forget, this is a crime to humanity, praying for this poor little girl, her family, and all survivors, pray for the peace of Jerusalem 🙏 ❤
Those hostages look very well taken care of… compared to the thousands of kids etc that are hostages in prison from Israel… interesting
Really have you seen photos stop your propaganda baloney ?
They obviously only took the hostages so they can get back all those hostages kids women and men that were illegally imprisoned buy the IDF Israel
Everybody relax. I am in discussions with Putin and the China Man about why America cant turn their back on Israel, America’s home away from home. Why do you think Russia and China don’t like dual citizenship. #1/10
It’s just disgusting to even think that a four year old could be held hostage by a group of terrorist men!
You have no courage to shoot meetings with the Israelies released hostages..you are horrified that they will tell about the human respective way in which they’d been treated from Hamas men ..😏
It’s sad little abbey had to lose both mom and dad because of some heartless human being that pulled such a heartless act on this poor innocent child I’m happy this little angel was set free finally but now comes the hard part telling this poor lovable child that mom and dad are now in heaven where nobody will ever be able to harm them again😔🙏
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇺🇸🇺🇸
Better extend ceasefire to give way to future hostage negotiation
Do you know how many Palestinian children they have in military prison? Israel is the only country that prosecute children in military court
39 to 17, plus aid. Not a good deal. If Israel is releasing fighters, it should be at least a 2 to 1 in favor of Israel, not Hamas. Freaking ridiculous.
The “good guys” kidnapping kids.
❤❤❤❤
12,000 people die so far, a few people released. Stupid trade
Agree should make it. 2 million you get what you vote for
❤
Israel terrarist
*Hopefully she’s finally safe with her family now.*
🇲🇦🇵🇸💔😭
💩🤡☠🇵🇸⚰
One American. That ALONE shows you how LITTLE other Nations feel about America. The WORLD knows we have a PATHETIC and WEAK president. Qatar thank you for helping our little girl come home. Biden as USUAL thank you for NOTHING 😂😅
What about more than 6000 palestiniens children murdred by israélien militery in gaza ?
Blame Hamas
I’m sooooooo sorry for this little girl 👧 Abigail’s 😢😢😢she having abig trauma never forgotten we all praying 🙏 for ✋️ her God made her to get out of the difficult situation 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 😢 💔.
God bless 🙌 Israel nations 🙌 @all the times forever and ever amen 🙌 🙏💒🙏🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱from Australia Melbourne 🇦🇺
Poor little girl. ….
her brother and sister actually survived. They aren’t much older than her. If I remember correctly they hid. I hope they can be there to meet her.
The morbidity of Islamic Hamas is beyond comprehension: To kidnap Abigail after murdering her parents. SHAME ON ALL THOSE PARADING IN THE STREETS FOR THESE ANIMALS WITHOUT CONDEMNING HAMAS!
What about the 10 month old baby?
My heart really goes to Abigail . I am so sad and my heart is broken to see her suffering. She is still 3 year old . Both her Parents were killed in front of her . Every hostages when they were released and going home , they got family members are coming to welcome them . What will be happening to Abigail ? she got no one . Possible she just sees when people welcome their beloved one . Why is this world so cruel against this little girl ? God please help her to go through all of these ordeal . I am praying for her.
I don’t think there is any mercy for what the Pa lestinians have done on October 7th. The amount of chaos they brought to so many innocent people is unforgivable. They knew what they are doing when they elected H amas.
What kind of animals kidnap childern, babies. Where is the outcry
The fact that Israel have teenagers, children and women held in prison is crazy. No wonder this was done
In america we call them criminals
@@MG-dl1nc so you call Palestinians criminals in America interesting
Has anyone seen some of these interviews from the released hostages? Probably not. Israel is putting a gag order to prevent anyone from speaking to the press. Are you curious why?🤔
This is from Roongarun Wichanguen – the sister of a released hostage. She said of her brother (a released hostage) that… “he was neither tortured nor assaulted and had been fed good food. He was taken care of very well and stayed in the house not a tunnel”.
Google it. Also Google how the Israeli army killed many of their own people Oct. 7th as they randomly attacked cars fleeing.
Not everything is as it seems in Gaza.
Israel not honoring their hostage deal. Not allowing enough aid trucks.
Glad the child is back and in good health. How about the over 4,500 innocent Palestians children murdered by Israel during their illegal GENOCIDAL bombings and ethnic cleansing of the apartheid concentration camps in GAZA?
How about the fact that they are in jail because the ASKED for it?
FLASE. They are in jail without CHARGES because they did nothing wrong. They are HOSTAGES of brutal, apartheid Israel. @@scillyautomatic
There are only daily marches globally for Palestine, not for Israel. Jews around the world do not support illegal Zionism. They support Palestine and actual Judaism. Only idiots don’t know the difference.
Israel killed 4,000 children , that is far worse this orphan call. All life’s matter ..
AS farther of 3 girls my heart broke and I started cry when I heard how father of 4 years old girl was killed but still used his body to shield her from bullets of murderous Hamas. No wonder why the Israel vows to eliminate Hamas.
Qatar – “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
Abigail coming back home without her parents hugging her .
So sad to see this little princess ❤❤❤❤❤
doqon weyan baa tahay hamas waa gerat ppol maha magacaa aad ugu wacee adiga ayaa ah
American president need more action to protect the citizens. God bless Netanyahu
And all we are seeing on news sites is “thankful to HAMAS for treating them so well. And there getting hostages, sets another bad precedent. Arab terrorists will always think this is an option.
Sensational news pro Zionist inhuman ideology! What about 6000 young children and babies who were killed by the bloody hands of IDF? Does anyone here think about them, their families and their bombarded houses? or about 15 thousands men and women who were killed in 50 day unjust war? Does any one think that this genocidal entity will bomb the same Palestinian prisoners that they are setting free now, the next day? If anyone has an ounce of humanity will rise and scream Cease Fire Now! and Free Palestine!
How does her release affect anything. MSM so worried about this while homicides in America are off the chain
How is this little girl has anything to do with the conflict? Someone please give an explanation
Show us the Palestinian side too. Clowns .. fake one sided media. Why is Israel detaining and jailing innocent children without charges
Freeeee Palestine
💩🤡☠🇵🇸⚰🦃
Many of the hostages that are being released (since November 24th) had been in Egypt. Hamas moved most of the hostages to Egypt almost immediatelly after kidnapping. All the intelligence information, gathered since the begining of the truce, points to that fact.
not true , stop telling lies
Pretty much most of the humanitarian aid, especially the fuel, will be interdicted by Hamas. The people will see virtually nothing.
Behave.
Who is isreal forced to release??terrorist. Who will do this again??
both Israel and Palestine are killing innocent Chilren in their thousands and have vowed to continue….Pure blind hatred
May god help thd little girl and may God help all the children in Gaza its sham israel killed 6000 palestinian children like abgel may God protect you little girl❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
I wish her a complete recovery from the trauma that she has been through.
I think this is one of the saddest survivor stories of our time. At least for me. 😭💔
God bless israel!
Hope she can be brought back to the states.
American s so hypocritical. so sad that the thousands of children killed in Israel and Gaza but all the attention is on one American child….yet America shoots and kills 8,000 American. children every year. The US is an utterly damaged and self obsessed society
. All lives matter, but Hamas started this war with an unprovked attack on babies, children, young people, & elderly on Oct.7th! Massacres have consequences!
Hamas is a US designated terrorist organization. Taking civilian hostages is a war crime.
surely every killing of an innocent child is a crime…surely.
God bless all the hostages return home safe 🙏🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌♥️❤️❤️ it’s is very heartbreaking 💔💔💔 … Prayers for all the hostages and family 🙏🙏🙏 ❤❤❤ …
Praying 🙏🏼 for her family praying 🙏🏼 for peace ❤
There are lots of little girl like her which they lost everything , I am very happy this little girl being free hope others be free too.
Hamas are no heroes , they destroyed a 3 year girls life –they deserve no mercy
Where are other 200😢? They killed?😢
Prayers for the little girl
What do mean eligible for release what happened to we don’t deal with terrorists .
putin has hamas on speed dial. of course the only male hostage released so far is russian….
Thousands of children were killed by Satan’s machine in Palestine. It did not attract your attention. While you focused on a child who was detained, she was released while smiling. You did not notice that she was not harmed.
But her mother & farher were killed in cold blood before her eyes. She will suffer a lifetime! Thanks to the massacre by Hamas on Oct. 7th, celebrated in the streets of Palestine!
Happy Day Abby
Heartbreaking she ain’t see both her parents, Thank God those Israeli women who where kidnapped took care of her for them 5p days
Hamas is the source of all evil.
What about the 1,000+ orphans children in Gaza whose parents were murdered by Israel bombs? Where are their story? Why not make that a headline? NCB News doesn’t care about children? Does NBC not care about orphaned children or do you only care if those orphaned children who are white? This is why people don’t watch your news anymore, it’s so biased to the point that you are not providing ANY actual news to viewers. This is why we go to social media. YOU don’t show us the truth. You don’t show us the real news.
Unconditional release of everyone is the only way .otherwise you will be blackmailed forever.
Hamas love death not life, they are evil.
🙈😭😭❤🙏🏽
💔💔💔💔
I am sick of all the anti semiotic pro Palestinian people on these boards when they release hostages as young as 10 month old innocent babies and 4 year old children versus prisoners in Israeli prisons who committed a crime that’s why they are in prison. As criminals their is a huge difference so stop showing your ignorance please
I’m sure the US said to Hamas: give us the little girl back or we will take Hamas off the map and Israel won’t have to bother doing it and will never leave our ships to do so
What about the thousands of Palestinian children who are no longer alive or who have lost their entire families. Since when one life is worth a thousand others. Hypocrites.
GOD, I HATE HAM-AS AKA SHAITAN
Are there no cute Palestinian children or is it only Isreali children that we should feel sympathy for?
What does “specially trained to deal with children” mean?
Free free free palastin
Free the Gaza kids
Liar BS
Stop watching the Media.
