As a mom to three daughters, I cry as I read your horrifying account of your ordeal at the hands of Hamas, as my heart ache and rage over their foul acts against you and your family, against the girls taken as hostage. I am praying for their return, and I am also praying for you to recover, as long as it takes, as well as your mom and brothers. Thank you for your courage in telling the world about your ordeal.
I do not believe in killing civilians deliberately, and I am confident that Israeli forces are not doing that. I also know that there must be good people in Gaza, because they are found everywhere. I feel for their suffering, as I do for that of blameless children.
But there is no doubt in my mind that many, many Gazans support Hamas and have the poisonous, vicious hatred of Israelis and Jews depicted in this article.
With all the talk about "innocent civilians," we should keep this in mind. Gazans are an enemy population, just as surely as the were the Germans in World War II, most of whom supported the Nazis. Concern for good and innocent Germans among that enemy population did not stop the U.S. from the firebombing of Hamburg and Dresden (the latter in February 1945) with devastating consequences for the truly evil, for passive Nazi supporters, for the innocent and for the good. The same is true for the firebombing of Tokyo and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I mourn the innocent victims,but I do not apologize for them. The responsibility for their deaths and suffering falls squarely and exclusively on Hitler,Tojo and their followers.
In the same way, moral blame does not attach to Israel for civilian deaths in Gaza. Even less so than in the examples I have cited, since the military necessity of Israel's tactics is more clear.
An Israeli oncology nurse describe these days after October 7th in a profound way - to paraphrasing today is October 108th.
There is only a before. We cannot conceive of tomorrow until all the hostages are home. Thank you Agam for sharing your experience- horrific. I read it through tears in my eyes and a hand over my broken heart. We have never forgotten a hostage, we will never forget and we will not stop until they are home.
Very moving story. This needs to be read by all those supporting Hamas terrorists. If you voted for Hamas you are guilty. If you fund them you are guilty. The UN is culpable in funding the terror as is the USA. No more funds for Palastinians until unconditional surrender. The hate must stop before reconciliation begins. Peace can happen this week Hamas surrender and release the hostages and Palastinians from your poison grip.
Agam, thank you for sharing your story. My heartfelt condolences for the losses of your father and sister. May their memories be for a blessing. I hope you are able to find peace again,.
Thank you sweet girl for sharing your experience. I can't imagine the depth of the horrors you lived thru...reading them can't begin to compare to what you lived. I'm so sorry! We're all so sorry! We're praying for you and for everyone still there. May you heal and find strength to move forward and may Hashem help the hostages come home!
Agam, these girls, you all, are never far from our thoughts and our hearts. You have endured the unthinkable. I hope the light inside you is everlasting. I have a feeling you will be a source of great comfort to many others in need over your long and healthy life to come. Thank you for your words and sending you everything good.
It is a travesty that the world’s press is not covering this. The Free Press is doing Gods work here by their intrepid reporting. My heart breaks for this young woman and her mother, and all the people held in captivity by Hamas. It’s an unimaginable travesty.
This should be front page op-ed on all major newspapers.
So much courage and resilience in such a young person.
Shattering. Thank you, Agam. I am praying for the girls in Gaza.

And yet, America's woke youth are protesting in favor of these savages. Unbelievable.
May the memories of your father and sister be a blessing. Please know that there are many of us praying for you and your family every day.

Prayers for all the hostages both still captive and those released…I almost wrote ‘freed’ but none will ever be freed. Prayers to for their families.
