You Can't Beat the Truth Into This Israeli Peace Activist with a Stick, Literally
PJ Media ^ | 24 Oct 2023 | Stephen Green

When Hamas terrorists released 85-year-old peace activist Yocheved Lifschitz for the fawning press to record on Monday, she was kind enough to give them another small propaganda win on her way back to Israel.

Lifschitz and her husband, Oded, were taken hostage from the Nir Oz kibbutz by Hamas terrorists on motorcycles during the October 7 terror invasion of Israel. Their daughter Sharone told the Times of Israel, “They’re no longer the kind of people who can survive without medications… Mom was ripped out of her machine; she was sleeping.”

Before the war, the Lifschitzes worked as peace activists, transporting sick Gazans to Israeli hospitals for treatment. Oded remains a hostage. Their daughter Sharone said that her parents’ “whole house is gone… It’s all burned.”

According to reports, Lifschitz — who Sharone says suffers from severe back pain — was forced by her captors to walk several kilometers over wet ground into Gaza. She was hit with sticks along the way and suffered “bruises and breathing difficulties.” Nevertheless, in Monday’s press conference, Yocheved praised the treatment she and others were given.

She is a true libtard. Even in the face of these murderous savages, she has to virtue signal. What a senile dope.

"When Hamas terrorists released 85-year-old peace activist Yocheved Lifschitz for the fawning press to record on Monday, she was kind enough to give them another small propaganda win on her way back to Israel."

Which is probably why she was released.
Other hostages with a different view might not be so lucky.

I read her interview, saw she gave a handshake to one of her guards. Hope her injured back doesn’t give her pain from now on.

Stockholm Syndrome?

Crazy, for sure.

I said when this happened, kibbutz dwellers seemed like an odd target since most of them were probably radical leftists and more of an ally than a threat. She proved my point.

She wasn’t lucky, just too ugly for raping.

There’s also the fact she knows that badmouthing the terrorists isn’t going to help free her husband.

Isn’t a “kibbutz” essentially a commie-hippy commune?

To be fair, if what I read elsewhere was correct, her husband is still being held by the thugs. So it behooves her to speak somewhat well of them, while he is still alive and held as a prisoner.

Maybe more accurately it’s the other way round. The idea was very big in the U.S. in the 19th century. They started to fail when they got to the third generation.

Exactly. Is anyone naive enough to think that her captors didn’t tell her to make them look good if she ever wants to see her husband alive again? This behavior means no more than the videos of captives stating that they’re being treated well while doubtless having guns trained at them off-camera.

This 💯. I would do the same if they had my husband or family member.

Bernie Sanders was out kicked out of a hippie commune in the 60s, because he was too lazy.
