"Freed Hostage Recounts Harrowing Ordeal in Hamas Captivity: 'A Living Hell'"

Mia Schem, a former hostage, recounted her traumatic experience with Hamas in Gaza, contrasting her forced propaganda statements with the reality of her abuse. The article argues that Hamas is manipulating Western perceptions by exploiting anti-Israel sentiment and media coverage, portraying themselves as victims while committing acts of violence. It suggests that the West is being fooled into supporting Hamas due to a skewed narrative that ignores the complexities of the conflict and Israel's efforts to minimize civilian casualties. The author, Jake Wallis Simons, calls for a clearer presentation of facts to counteract this disinformation.
