Released hostage says he was held by UNRWA teacher in Gaza - report
Boker's report also cites another hostage saying that he was held by a Gazan doctor as he was treating children patients.
One of the hostages, recently released from Gaza, revealed on Wednesday that he was held for nearly 50 days in an attic by a teacher from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).
The story was publicized on X by Channel 13 journalist Almog Boker.
The hostage also said that the teacher who held him captive was a father of 10 children. He had barely been provided food or medical attention, and was locked away by the teacher, he said.
Jerusalem Post really looks like a moderate and balanced source of exemplary journalism. /s
13When you look up their history, it's pretty wild. The former owner was a conservative that was pardoned by Trump for embezzling millions of dollars from his company. And the current editor was involved in far-right politics before taking his position, which explains why they source some of their content from the New York Post. Not to be outdone, the current owner was investigated by police for allegedly giving Netanyahu positive coverage in exchange for legislation that would hurt a rival newspaper.

Unrwa has been caught paying teachers to teach gazN children to hate israel. They had to fire 6-7 recently because they caught them on video.
8I'm perfectly ready to believe that among the many people who work for UNRWA, there are some with Hamas. However, UNRWA as an organization does not serve Hamas or their goals, and I'd need some damn good evidence to believe otherwise.
4Not much substance here.
3...the hostage's statements after 8 weeks in captivity is not enough for you? What would satisfy you?
The claim isn't "Lasers shot out of his eyes" or something sensational. The claim is "My jailer was a teacher with 10 kids who is paid by the United Nations in his dayjob." Why does that statement require extraordinary levels of proof?

Idk about you guys, but I'm willing to take Israeli state media at face value every day.
I mean, this is the paper owned by the guy who was investigated by police for giving positive coverage to Netanyahu in exchange for legislation that would hurt a rival newspaper. They seem very trustworthy to me.
-3Neither channel 13, nor Jerusalem Post, are Israeli State Media?

Seems the years long rumors of social organizations being infiltrated by jihadists are true. Explains reports of hamas rushing to hospitals with hostages, only for doctors to later say hamas was never there, as well
-3Interesting that posts where anti-Hamas views are upvoted get removed (the post that was just removed about 9-month old Kfir Bibas being killed in captivity), but the posts where anti-Hamas views get downvoted stay up. Funny that.

The modlog says it was removed because of a violation of rule 1, (presumably the part about titles not matching.)
- Title on article: "Hamas announces death of youngest hostage Kfir Bibas"
- Title on post: "Hamas announces death of the youngest hostage (10 months old)"
They are very similar. Replacing her name with her age warranted removal? I think that's a shame because there was a lot of good discussion going on there that is now lost.
7the mods on this instance are terrorist bootlickers and the neckbeard tankie idiots that dribble pro hamas nonsense put reddit neckbeards to shame. are you surprised?

While there are unconfirmed reports like school field trips to the tunnels the radicalization of gazan children is documented on videos where the teachers make them chant about killing jews.
