Interviewee on Kaitlan Collins on CNN Nov 29, 2023 around 9:52-56 PM ET:
"... My 84-year old grandmother is just an example all the 240 hostage taking.. It's a crime against our entire nation and a crime against humanity. The kibbutzim near Gaza by the border very peaceful. A lot of Gazans worked there. But what happened on Oct 7 showed the people on the other side in Gaza are just savages.
Entire communities were wiped out...
I lost 17 of my friends...
Some of them were murdered as we were texting on WhatsApp.. One of the messages I received was there is a child 7 years old hiding in a loset texting that parents were just murdered..."
A law must be written outlawing Gaza/ citizens from ever living in the United States.
The new ugly trend is to claim all of the Israelis tragedy was a myth and based on IDF lies about the freedom loving downtrodden victims of attempted genocide, the Hamas.
Hamas and the media are spreading stories that the babies taken or killed were nonexistent and the whole thing is a lie.
This has to be opposed.
“The new ugly trend is to claim all of the Israelis tragedy was a myth...”
Since the Hamas jackals too videos of their slaughter, that will be hard to get going.
The barbarism is beyond the pale.
Hamas must be eliminated.
They are indoctrinated by what is written in Arabic and in true translations of the Holy Koran.
Then this needs to be required reading in all high schools and colleges.
Every Jew and every American, well for that matter, every European needs to read a true translation of the Holy Quran or Koran.
Then they might understand why this is happening and why it will never stop happening. IMHO these are probably the most accurate translations, and they are FREE.
So far it has been there for over 30 years.
If people would only read it to understand what we are up against.
We carpet bombed 2 million Germans in WW II. We nuked 2 Jap cities and had plans to nuke a few more. Why? Because they wouldn’t quit their inhuman barbarous warfare.
Same goes here.
Kill ‘em all. Let God sort them out.

Henry Kissinger Has Died At Age 100; Less Than Three Hours Before Israel-Hamas Truce Expires; Israel Says It's Assessing Hamas Claim That Youngest Hostage, a 10-Month-Old Boy, And Family Members Are No Longer Alive. Aired 9-10p ET Aired November 29, 2023 - 21:00 ET
COLLINS: Thank you very much, Doctor.
In addition to that, we showed you, last night, an 84-year-old grandmother. She was in a wheelchair. She was among the hostages who was being jeered, it appeared, by the crowds, in Gaza, as Hamas was handing them over, to the Red Cross. Her family is here next, to share what she has been through.
[21:50:00]
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
COLLINS: As we're waiting, right now, at this hour, to see if this temporary truce, between Israel and Hamas is going to expire, or whether or not it will be extended, what it's supposed to do, at Midnight Eastern Time? There's a tremendous amount of relief being felt, tonight, for the family of 84-year-old Ditza Heiman.
She was one of the 10 Israeli hostages, released yesterday. You saw her, in that video. She was the one in the wheelchair. And now, her family is learning details, about what her time was like, as a hostage of Hamas.
Joining me now is Ditza's grandson-in-law, Asaf Zohar.
And thank you so much for being here. ASAF ZOHAR, WIFE'S 84-YEAR-OLD GRANDMOTHER RELEASED BY HAMAS: Thank you.
COLLINS: How is she doing, tonight?
ZOHAR: Physically, she's doing OK. And we are extremely relieved that she is doing OK. Because, when we saw, the images of her, in a wheelchair, that was heartbreaking, because Ditza was never ever in a wheelchair.
She's an 84-years-old, extremely proud person. And she's independent, and she's living on -- living on her own. She cooks for herself. She cleans for herself. She used to play the host for all 25 of us, when we showed up at her house.
COLLINS: Yes, I loved those photos of everyone having a meal together.
I mean, but you're hearing more about what she went through? I know it's not -- you know, it's a slow process. But what have you heard from her?
ZOHAR: The story is coming out of her very, very slowly. And she keeps telling us that it's her story to tell. So, the only thing that we can tell, for now, is that she thinks she was up in an attic, for quite a while. And she was away from everybody else. She was being held isolated from everybody else.
But I got to tell you that the amazing thing about Ditza, that the story that Ditza is telling is the story of 240 other hostages that have been taken. And when you say these words, the hostages that have been taken, it doesn't even -- it doesn't even begin to describe what really happened there. It's just a crime against humanity.
And when you say a crime against humanity, you actually mean that they are taking an 84-years-old grandmother, from her home, in a kibbutz? That is, I can't even explain to you how easygoing the kibbutz was.
You go into the kibbutz, and everything is green, and everything is nice. And you live right next to Gaza Strip. And you try to imagine that it's a peaceful place.
And then, this happens, on October 7th, which explains to you that these guys, who live across the fence from us are just savages. There's no other way to describe the amount of pain that we are experiencing, right now, as a nation.
Yes, I'm her grandson-in-law, and I experience this pain very, very personally. But I also lost 17 friends. 17 of my friends are dead, right now, because of that attack. And four of my friends are still being held hostage. Yosef (ph), his two sons and his daughter --
COLLINS: Yes.
ZOHAR: -- are still being held in Gaza Strip. And we don't even know what's going on with him.
So these crimes are crimes against me. They're crimes against you. They are crimes against entire the State of Israel and humanity.
COLLINS: And you mentioned the kibbutz, and what life is like there. These are like villages, where it's very familial, everyone knows everyone. And a lot of Gazans worked there. And there was, I mean, this was more of a left-leaning community than what you see. I think that's something that people outside of Israel may not know.
But you talked about your grandmother that Ditza was released. But she doesn't have a home to go to.
ZOHAR: That's one of the things that you have to tell your grandmother. How do you tell your grandmother that she doesn't have a home to go back to? Many of them --
COLLINS: Did she know about the full scope of what had happened to her home?
ZOHAR: We haven't talked about that yet because it's very emotional. I mean, you are talking about an entire community that's just gone. And there are several communities there that are gone right now.
I'm talking to my friends, on October 7th. I was talking to my friends, to three families. One of them has been murdered, as we were talking, on WhatsApp, texting each other back and forth.
COLLINS: Wow.
[21:55:00]
ZOHAR: Some of them are hiding in the attic, waiting for this to be over. Some of them were in a bomb shelter, telling me that there are grenades thrown at the door. And I can't believe what I'm reading, and I'm texting back, and I'm trying to talk to them, and I'm trying to call them.
And one of them, Mae (ph) and Liz (ph), were actually murdered, as we were talking. And then, her sister is writing to me, "They have been shot. They have been killed." Their 7-years-old daughter is hiding in a closet, right now, texting me that "Mom and dad have been shot."
COLLINS: Wow.
ZOHAR: And this has been going on everywhere, in Holit, Nir Yitzhak, I can tell you all these weird names of these kibbutzim. But you have to understand that these small communities have been trying to live, next to Gaza Strip, and have been trying to make a living, right next to the Palestinians, and trying to trade and trying to --
COLLINS: Yes.
ZOHAR: Like you said, Palestinians were working there, with them together.
COLLINS: That's just heartbreaking. We're glad that she's safe. But I know it's a long road ahead.
ZOHAR: Yes.
COLLINS: Thank you for coming, to share what that's been like for her.
ZOHAR: Thank you.
COLLINS: And obviously, we're keeping her in our thoughts.
A lot more to come, on what the experience has been like, for many more of them. We'll be back in just a moment.
[22:00:00]
(COMMERCIAL BREAK) COLLINS: Thank you so much, for joining us, from Tel Aviv.
