Hamas forced one emaciated hostage, Evyatar David, to dig his own grave

CNN chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour claimed Israeli hostages, who were tortured and starved for two years by Hamas, were treated better than Gazans.

"They're probably being treated better than the average Gazan because they are the pawns and the chips that Hamas had," Amanpour said Monday morning on CNN News Central. "Now Hamas has given up all its leverage, by the way, by giving them all up. So that is a victory for the Israeli side."

Videos released over the past two years have shown malnourished Israeli hostages enduring brutal treatment. Survivors have said they were starved, tortured, electrocuted, and forced to dig their own graves. One freed hostage, Ron Krivoi, said "ordinary Gazans" beat him. Another, Evyatar David, was forced to dig his own grave in a Hamas propaganda video released in August.

Can we please send the Iranian War Slut to Gaza?!

[1Old Pro]

[falcon99]

I remember her first on air report. She was an idiot then and still is now.

[jimfree]

The woman is dirt.

After that statement, I am leaning more towards the gas chamber. :-|

[Vermont Lt]

These people kill me.

People are treated poorly in a war? Film at 11.

“Christiane Amanpour, international correspondent and sophisticated journalist.”

The curse is that her husband remained married to her after her looks peaked...

[Fledermaus]

What a useless rhymes with witch

[I-ambush]

If so, both groups were abused by Hamas

Better than they are treated by their fellow Gazans,

[dfwgator]

Itch with a ‘B’.

[kiryandil]

She was an idiot then and still is now.

After her looks crashed and burned, she's giving Helen Thomas a run for her money.

I wonder if her husband has chewed his arm off to get away, yet?

I wonder how many 'average Gazans' get their heads chopped off and raped and starved, and kept in tunnels for more than 2 tears.

If there ever is another hostage situation anywhere, Christiane should volunteer to replace a hostage, and must insist on the same treatment as the other hostages will get.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

This is the woman who said we should mourn all deaths in the Afghanistan War, including Taliban deaths.

[maddog55]

I would say I agree with her.... Using her words you could say the Israeli hostages were probably treated better than HAMAS treated their own people of Gaza.

[Harpotoo]

Correct!!! And WHO ran gaza???

[Flaming Conservative]

She is a liar.

[Bonemaker]

But those bangs are so hot!

[lee martell]

If so, then why does she seem to support whatever Hamas decides to do to the Palestinians?
She should be rejoicing that their influence has greatly diminished.
