A former hostage has bravely come forward to expose the cruelty she suffered at the hands of Hamas during her days in captivity.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Aviva Siegel described being coerced into filming propaganda videos under dire conditions. Held in suffocating tunnels she struggled to remember lines dictated by her captors.

“‘You didn’t say that Bibi needs to bring you back.’ So I had to say it again and again and again,” she recounted.

Aviva was abducted from her home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza on October 7 along with her husband Keith. During her time in captivity, she was forced to face the cameras three times. For these “special occasions,” the 62-year-old vividly recalls being given food for propaganda purposes.

“They used to make food and put it on the table,” she said. “We had to sit next to them and smile and say everything is okay, just for the picture.”

In reality, she along with 250 others.were starving.

In a small act of defiance, Aviva rejected her captors’ attempts to brush her hair before going on camera.

“I knew what I looked like. I was disgusting. I was so dirty. I looked at him, and I picked my hair up, and I said, ‘beautiful.'”

While Aviva was released as part of a temporary ceasefire deal in November, Keith still remains in the hell pits of Gaza. He is one of the 97 remaining hostages in Gaza, including the bodies of at least 33 confirmed dead by the IDF.

Editors Note: Thanks to Aviva’s harrowing testimony, Hamas has once again reminded the world that it cloaks its barbarity in a flimsy veil of “resistance.” Without testimony from Oct. 7 survivors, the Iranian-backed terrorist group will continue to ignore basic precepts of human rights until Israel completes its mission to finish off Hamas for good.
