Thank you. These stories are really hard to read. I had seen part of her story before but not his. I think what I can’t fathom is the complicity of the Palestinian people and the false narrative people want to cling to. They will never bring peace to the region if refugee agencies are complicit in indoctrinating the next generation and if a radical fascist theocracy prevails.
I'm a two time Kibbutznik 1969 -1972 yes a long time ago. I am not Jewish. I became part of my adoptive Jewish family in 1964 when I was just 19. That is 61 years ago. I have visited Israel many times. Next March 2026. Reading stories like this my greatest struggle is with despair. I've spent significant time in Nablus Jenin Nazareth Hebron Bethelehem Gaza - I saw it up close and personal. The indoctrination of evil.
These two young people are exceptional human beings. What courage and bravery they have shown. The horrific abuse they suffered is shocking! My heart goes out to them both. I wish them everything beautiful in their lives!
This is why the Palestinians must be destroyed. And why, like Cicero who ended every speech of his with the words "Carthage must be destroyed", so should we end every essay we write with "The Palestinians must be destroyed."
I don't understand why their names were left out of this story. It is Sapir Cohen and Sasha Troufanov, his mother Elena and grandmother Irena Tati. Sasha's father is Vitaliy Troufanov z"l. Names are important, but especially so in the case of the hostages when so many people are denying their experiences. May Sapir and Sasha's marriage be blessed.
Am Yisrael Chai. The gentle, innocent, and peaceable character of Israel and the USA will rise above hate as we care for the needs, rights, and sufferings of all people.

What an awesome story !
Israel has the best people. Its future is assured no matter what.
Of all the difficult things to read in this story, the worst by far is the little girl hitting Sasha because her father has taught her to hate Jews.
Very moving. Tears.
It was Cato the Elder who ended all of his speeches in the Roman Senate: "Cartago delenda est" i.e. "Carthage must be destroyed"
This is why the Palestinians must be destroyed. And why, like Cicero who ended every speech of his with the words "Carthage must be destroyed", so should we end every essay we write with "The Palestinians must be destroyed."
Thank you. They deserve all the blessing in their life. Nobody should be going through this type of unhuman abuse.
