MAIN STORY: In the aftermath of the liberation of the last 20 surviving Israeli hostages from Gaza, new revelations have surfaced regarding their health conditions and the brutal experiences they faced. The hostages endured starvation, isolation, and torture, and shortly before their release, Hamas attempted to feed them, which posed an unexpected risk.

TEACHING HATE: The nation’s largest teachers’ union sent a mass email to its members containing a map that erased the state of Israel and labeled the area “Palestine,” along with materials supporting Hamas’ barbaric Oct. 7 attacks.

GRETA GETS IT WRONG: Swedish activist Greta Thunberg is facing backlash after using an image of an emaciated Israeli hostage in an Instagram post allegedly showing Palestinians suffering. The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs posted a screenshot of the deleted slide next to a zoomed-in version of the still image of David, declaring, “Ignorance blinded by hate is trending.”
