It hurts my stomach anytime I think about those poor hostages….I just can’t even imagine.

Agreed, I can’t imagine anything more terrifying. For all of them, but especially the foreigners such as the Americans young people who were there having fun at a dance party and completely not used to Palestinians and the continuous threat of violence from them. Dancing on your vacation and then all of a sudden everyone around them are being killed by what looks to you to be masked terrorists who then haul you off, heart pounding for sure, to who knows where. Led down relatively dark/ damp / rough cut tunnel after tunnel by several guys carrying AK's speaking a language you can’t understand but yelling at you the whole time you later find out you’re somewhere in Gaza and don’t know if you’re going to live or die, or worse be tortured then die. They throw you in some dark barren hole in the wall of a room and leave you for hours upon hours to sit and live inside the worst of your thoughts and paranoias until someone comes and interrogates you. You tell them you aren’t military or even Israeli over and over while they keep yelling at you. Down the hall you hear someone screaming in Hebrew you imagine for what must be something akin to "Help me" followed by two gunshots and then silence. A girl is led past with a badly beaten face and blood soaked pants around her crotch where she had obviously been savagely gang raped. And this goes on for days and days while you have no news of the outside world or what’s going on or if anyone is ever going to come help you. And honestly you’re thinking death is preferable than continuing on any further.


I can’t imagine being those poor people and I hope they’re rescued soon and the people responsible killed, preferably as painfully as possible.
