Sympathy for Israeli former captive Eli Sharabi must not obscure the bigger picture: he has allowed himself to be recruited to Israel’s propaganda campaign for genocide
Israel has found a captive recently released from Gaza willing to regurgitate some of its most nonsensical talking points on the stage of the United Nations. Predictably, those talking points are already being exploited to justify Israel intensifying its slaughter of Palestinian children in Gaza – and further bully the United Nations into even greater timidity.
Eli Sharabi has every reason to feel aggrieved. After all, he not only spent 490 days in captivity in terrifying conditions before his release last month, but emerged to find his family had been killed during Hamas’ break-out from Gaza on 7 October 2023.
Nonetheless, sympathy for his plight should not obscure the bigger picture: he has allowed himself to be recruited to the Israeli government’s propaganda campaign for genocide.
He has echoed Israeli politicians in claiming that Palestinians in Gaza – all 2.3 million of them, apparently – are “involved” in the mistreatment of the Israeli captives. In other words, he has given succour to the Israeli government’s efforts to justify the extermination of Gaza’s entire population, half of whom are children.
He has also claimed that Hamas stole aid that entered Gaza to eat “like kings”, while he and the captives starved. In other words, he is bolstering the argument of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel is justified in blocking food and water to Gaza – a crime against humanity for which Netanyahu is being sought by the International Criminal Court.
But perhaps most ludicrously of all, Sharabi asks of the two largest bodies involved in humanitarian operations on behalf of the destitute, decimated people of Gaza: “Where was the Red Cross when we [the Israeli captives] needed them? Where was the UN?”
Sharabi, more than anyone, ought to know the answer to his own question.
Local staff of the UN and Red Cross – or Red Crescent as it is known in Gaza – have spent the past year and a half living under constant and ferocious air strikes, like everyone else in the enclave. Large numbers have been killed and maimed by the US-supplied bombs Israel has been dropping continuously.
They have certainly not been idle, as Sharabi suggests. When they have not been killed themselves, they have been dealing with the many tens of thousands of dead and the hundreds of thousands of wounded.
And all the while, they have been desperately struggling to help feed a population that Israel has spent the past 18 months actively starving through its strict blockade of food and water into the tiny territory.
The job of the UN and Red Cross has been to save life. That is what they have been doing. Their job is not to go on a wild goose chase, trying to find Israeli captives that Israel itself, with all its technological know-how and military might, has been unable to locate.
Where was the UN?
Did Sharabi’s Israeli government handlers – led by Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the UN – forget to explain to him that Israel has formally banned the UN from Gaza? Israel both bars the UN from the enclave, specifically targeting local staff with its weapons, and yet also expects those same staff to track down the Israeli captives held there. How can one even begin to take Israel’s position – or Sharabi’s – seriously?
Where was the Red Cross?
Did Sharabi’s Israeli government handlers forget to mention that, also, the Red Cross has not been able to visit a single one of the thousands of Palestinians who have been abducted by Israel from Gaza, including doctors, women and children?
Unlike the Israeli captives, the location of the Palestinian captives is known. They are being held in what the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem calls “torture camps” inside Israel, where sexual assaults and rapes are commonplace.
Israel has refused the Red Cross access for a simple reason: because it doesn’t want the world to know what it is doing to Palestinians inside those torture camps. And the western media is complying, barely reporting the horrors unearthed by human rights groups and UN investigators.
Yes, the Israeli captives have gone through a horrific experience. And their greatest trauma – though Sharabi, unlike his fellow Israeli captives, fails to mention it – was living under Israel’s constant bombs: the equivalent so far of six Hiroshimas. None knew from one day to the next whether they would be vaporised by one of the 2,000lb bombs supplied by the US and dropped all over the enclave.
It is important to hear Sharabi’s account of his captivity on a stage as visible as the UN’s. But it is equally important for the UN to hear from the thousands of Palestinians abducted by Israel and held in even more horrifying conditions, as repeatedly documented by human rights groups.
Yet those Palestinian victims, victims of Israeli barbarism, have not been provided with the platform offered to Sharabi. Why? Because Israel gets to decide who speaks at the UN, for both Israelis and Palestinians.
Unlike Hamas, Israel holds its captives permanently prisoner, even after they have been released from its torture camps. It holds them in a giant open-air concentration camp called Gaza. And they won’t find themselves on a stage at the UN – not unless Israel allows it.

a stupid, weak, brainless and malignant narcissist. like most of his ilk in the cancer idiots call a “country” and its psychopath enablers. the fact that he’s well fed and addressing actual humans is an “own goal” in and of itself. how are the prisoners held by “israel” during the same time period? are they giving interviews and telling sad stories or are they silent because they were bombed, shot, starved and fucking raped to death by jewish supremacist vermin?
fuck him and his fucking nazi asshole family. rot in pieces.
Poor Palestinians. Everyone feels so sorry for them. NOT.
Now that their generational UNRWA welfare has been taken away, perhaps they are finally learning that their excessively large families are a yoke around their necks?
Not ONE surrounding Arab country has opened their doors to even a small percentage of them. But were they given the opportunity to relocate, many would, as this story relates:
Why are Muslim civilians trapped on the battlefield in Gaza? It is because their coreligionists provide camp guards to keep them in.
Why does the global Islamic community not allow Gazans to voluntarily depart to safe locations in Muslim lands?
It is more than a claim. Everyone has seen it so many times — It is a fact.
How much “aid” did PLO Joe deliver via his Hamas resupply pier? How much of it reached distribution centers to help civilians? As little as 1/4. Hamas looted every convoy they could, leaving scraps for their fellow Muslims.
There are two obvious ways to help Muslim civilians:
-1- Move the aid to the civilians.
-2- Move the civilians to the aid.
There is no international law requiring Palestinian Jews to provide supplies to enemy combatants. If there was a way to protect aid going in, this would be done. Alas, Hamas thieving makes #1 impossible.
Why not attempt option #2? It is a practical solution that would work. Islam should chose to let parents and children out of Gaza into Muslim lands. It is the Pillar of Charity.
PEACE 😇
Post no. 2, blaming the victims, constitutes living proof that ‘the Jew cries out in pain as he strikes you’ is no antisemitic canard — it’s just a simple, empirical observation about the Talmudic lizard tribe.
Israel is our misfortune.
I would like to know why, on this controlled opposition Jew owned website, no effort is made to screen out the insertions of mentally unbalanced genocidal God Damned Jews.
The plight of Americans isn’t all that different from that of the Palestinians, great replacements and all. From East Palestine to the West Bank, peoples desperately struggling. Increasingly I get the feeling that this will be the decade that genuine revolutions will go nuclear. The accessible technology for it is certainly here. The theft of US nuclear secrets last century could largely and easily be portrayed as (((revolutionary))) acts themselves, so it seems like a logical progression, if not an especially natural one. What they did in Waco, broadcasting it live daily, drew a response too. How much of that job came from inside, I don’t know. But I will say that people(Americans at least) are a lot angrier now than they were then, not to mention far more disillusioned. Everything has its tipping point.
Guys family was killed by IDF – Hannibal Directive
You are afraid to mention my name, the author of that post? Here’s a tip: Don’t say it 3 times!
Agreed! Parents should always be focused on what is best for their children. Unfortunately, it seems that Palestinians, with so many children, focused more on making them than on raising them.
These parents should be begging other Islamic countries to take them in and save their families from the horrors of the war that Hamas idiocy and stubborn refusal to surrender has unleashed on them.
Over half would leave, at least temporarily, if a Muslim nation would allow them entry: (1)

Iran and Qatar found money to spend on Hamas. Now they need to let in the victims of Hamas rule.
PEACE 😇

i’d be willing to wager, if he was captured and his whole family killed, that they were killed by the idf, in the israeli hannibal directive response, of this preplanned, let it happen, false flag.
evil juju, evil juju, evil juju.
This just in. Gaza will be emptied of Palestinians in the near future. This will make Hamas cry. All their killing for naught. Their Oct 7, 2023 attack into Israel is going to cause them to lose all of Gaza!
I had a conversation last week with a Canadian journalist about the culture war on American campuses. After we finished talking about that, she had one final question for me.
“What the hell is Trump thinking about Canada?”
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/opinion/trump-canada-ukraine.html
There is No Fucking culture war in the campus. Stidents are protesting the silence of the academia against genocide. . Students are protesting againstdirect and indirect involvment with a genocidal regime propped up by the US.
Students should have been protesting against the presence of the genocidal material in the campus.
There is a war because Israeli firsters with various organic and non-organic connections are trying to stifle the protest,remove them from school,deport them,and expose their identity
—-Zio distorts . So that stupid MAGA right sitting over a beer in Alabama thinks about the problems in MIT, Standford , Columbia as anti American wokism .His drunk buddy then will add to Arab being sighted there.
Does humanity oneday in future will be forced to burn a library ? Yes. A library that is entirely packed with nothing but this type of distortions from BBC NYT WSJ, Fox, CNN, .
I remember my time as a student years ago and feel confident in stating that the vast majority of students are significantly dumber than they think they are. You appear to fit into this category also.
There is no “genocide” of Gazans and this is why so few give the pro-Hamas protestors any attention.
Sucks to be on the wrong side of logic and history, yes?
You are dumbest liar who exposes their’s stupidity when emotionally riled up and factually challenegd .
Did not I just show you how Zio tries to shove their problems onto others !!
This is DNA . This is the 3000 yrs history .
Stupid muslim and christians always fall for it.
Of course it’s not genocide for you, meanmean. For you and Judeonazis like you, it is your RELIGION.
You can just see a German meanmean boasting that the Jews in Auschwitz were suffering for nought, because of their bad behaviours. Except you can’t, because the camps and killings elsewhere were kept secret, whereas Judeonazis like meanmean boast and brag of their butchery, and revel in it JOYOUSLY. That says something profoundly significant about Zionazism and Judaism.
The two insufferable Judeonazis, A123 and meanie, are hardly advertisements for Judaism, are they. The vicious indifference to hideous human suffering is no surprise-that is Judaism 101 if the victims are goyim, but the arrogant, even joyful, boastfulness of it all really shocks-unless you know anything of the history and psychopathology of Judaism, Zionazism and the Judenreich itself.
Thanks for the title Jew demands why isn’t the UN helping me?
Answer you Jews killed them all
Like in America Jew gets car broken into house burglarized Where are the police?
Hiding in their precinct fear of Jews Derek Chauvining them
If you want to see unbalanced lunacy check out the Who Killed Kennedy and Who Was Shakespeare threads. Yikes!!!!
Only 14% of Gazans wants to leave permanently.
Most of those who want to leave, want to return. But if they leave, Israel will not let them return.
Knowing this, they should think twice before leaving.
In any case, those who want to leave, only want to leave because Israel is killing and starving them.
“Victims of Hamas rule” no, victims of Israeli war crimes against civilians.
Shame on you for deflecting the blame.
Killed by whom? The IDF (Israeli Donkey Fellators] who sported hate-boners while high on HDF: Hannibal Directive Fentanyl?
As always, Matzonians lie and blame others for the terrible terroristic crimes that fellow christkillers commit.
Most Jews killed on Oct 7th…when Hamas acted like Juden escaping Sobibor…were murdered by other Nose. Ever it is thus in the Synagogue of Satan: every member is fair game for extermination when higher-ups roll deadly dreidels to aggrandize the Tribe.
