This is what UNBEARABLE agony looks like.
Who knows for what reason this poor man was taken hostage - along with 1000s of other Palestinians - but we can easily imagine how his torment is compounded on learning that his wife and CHILDREN were murdered by the same brute forces that held him captive.

Mosab Abu Toha—

"A Palestinian hostage who’s just been released was told his wife and children were slaughtered by Israel while he was held hostage.

"His youngest daughter was turning two years old on Oct 18, in five days.

"You will not see this story on CNN, BBC, NYT, WP, or other MSM outlets."

I don't as a rule. Today was to be a special treat listening to Professor Mike Toole but sadly they cancelled him at the last minute.

If it keeps Israel as the sovereign power, yes they do.

Israel is holding every single Palestinian in Gaza and the West Bank and their Israeli prisons and "detention" centres hostage.

Listening to @abcnews radio news on the release of "Israeli hostages" and "Palestinian prisoners" and the "end of the war" and I'm really sick to death of this whitewashed pro-Israel biased shit that is genocide denial and dehumanizes Palestinians. #auspol #GazaHolocaust

Tune in to local ABC Radio at midday or 1 pm Radio National to hear Professor Mike Toole talking about the nutrition situation in Gaza. And here's a link to his recent article on the famine in Gaza.

Today, Donald Trump admired Egyptian dictator el-Sisi’s regime “because if he has crime, he puts it out very quickly.”

This was a reference to the worst massacre of protesters in modern world history by el-Sisi’s military in 2013.

“I think it’s great.”

Rabaa Massacre: “I think it’s great.”

Trump’s psychology is unspooling. His opposition needs to reorient itself.

I'm looking at the returned Palestinian hostages who appear to have suffered torture and starvation and serious ill-treatment and another assassinated Palestinian journalist but I agree it was a good day if a classroom of Palestinian kids were not murdered. Enjoy the mimosas, Professor! 👏🏻🥂
