It's only hard to believe victims when you don't want to believe them.

We saw people captured and murdered by Hamas terrorists with out very eyes. They were taken into Gaza, which very soon became a war zone. They, as in the victims themselves, have provided first hand accounts of trauma, physical abuse, sexual assault, torture, and many of them are still being treated in hospitals for that trauma.

So what exactly are you contesting here? Are you trying to say that innocent people weren't and aren't kidnapped and being held by Hamas terrorists? Or maybe you're trying to say that they were treated like kings over the last months since October 7th...?
