Siegel was shot in the hand and his ribs were broken during the Oct. 7 attack. His wounds weren't treated until he was freed more than a year later.
He said Hamas also tried to convert him to Islam. https://t.co/klRvGiVqZt— Marc Rod (@marcrod97) April 10, 2025
The ancient ‘convert or die’ thing.
Throughout his time in Gaza, Mr. Siegel’s captors would spit on him and scream at him, he said. They would kick him as he lay on the floor and withhold food from him and other hostages, even as the captors ate.Keith Siegel, a Former Hostage, Recounts Captivity in Gaza - The New York Times.

As Mr. Siegel stepped into the room, panic washed over him: He found himself in the audience of a “medieval-style” trial by torture, he said.
The woman had been bound, and the guards were beating her with primitive tools. They demanded that she “tell the truth,” Mr. Siegel said. He was instructed to assist with getting a confession. “I was told to go into the room and to tell the person that the torturing will continue until they admit what they were being accused of,” he said.
The episode was one of many that defined the horrific experience that Mr. Siegel, an Israeli American originally from North Carolina, and his fellow hostages endured in captivity.
HAMAS/PLO/Islamic Jihad/Nukba all deserve to die, plain and simple. PALEOstinians did a GENOCIDE on the Jews and helped the Nazis do the same 1939-45.
Who did “Ethnic Cleansing”???? ONLY the Arabs, so shut the F*** up you scum.
Yea. And the “Pay For Slay” for years.

...”In tunnels 130 feet underground, barely being able to breathe, gasping for my breath, for our breath. Deprived of food, water, and sanitation.”...
“I was kicked by terrorists, I was spat on by terrorists, cursed, just out of the blue with nothing that I had done that might provoke that”...
Of the remaining hostages, five are Americans, but just one — 20-year-old Edan Alexander of Tenafly, New Jersey — is still alive.

IIRC, once you convert, you cannot ‘unconvert’.
Which makes the field trip to a mosque and the children reciting something even more insidious.

The 'nonprofit/grant/ngo' world functions as slush funds for evil. Any real 'good' cause worth doing can be done without government 'assistance'.
Yup
