"60 Minutes" host asks freed hostage if Hamas starved him because they didn't have enough food: ripped a new one

"60 Minutes" host Lesley Stahl is definitely not the brightest light on the Chanukah bush. She appears to be sympathetic to Hamassholes after she showed her hand during a Sunday night interview with an Israeli who had been held hostage by the terror group.

Bottle-blonde Stahl asked Keith Siegel whether the Hamas terrorists starved him on purpose or whether they didn’t have enough food to give him. Evidently she missed the videos of Hamas stealing the food from the myriad trucks Israel sent to Gaza, keeping it for themselves and not allowing the Gazans to benefit from Israel's beneficence. 

Lesley Stahl is either an idiot or a pro-Hamas stooge, or both.

During the CBS News program, she spoke to several hostages who had recently been freed from the terror group's clutches and returned to their families. Stahl spoke to Siegel, along with Tal Shalom, and Yarden Bibas — the man whose wife and two young children were murdered while in captivity — learning details about their horrific experiences living in Hamas-controlled tunnels in Gaza.

While Siegel discussed how his captors treated him, he stated that after his wife, Aviva, was released from captivity, Hamas became "very mean and very cruel and violent."

Yeah, killing babies and their mom is cruel and violent if you ask most people other than Lesley Stahl.

"They were beating me and starving me," Siegel said. Stahl followed by asking idiotically, "Do you think they starved you because or they just didn’t have food?"

Siegel denied that his torturers didn’t have enough food, recounting, "No, I think they starved me, and they would often eat in front of me and not offer me food."

The former hostage and his wife were kidnapped from their kibbutz during Hamas’ terror attack in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. Siegel spent 484 days in "unimaginable conditions" in Hamas captivity but don't tell that to Leslie Stahl. 

The ex-hostage also recounted how he was only allowed to bathe once a month by pouring a cup of water over his head into a bucket, and described witnessing Hamas members sexually assaulting female hostages.

Stahl’s question prompted backlash on social media platform X.

The U.S. organization "StopAntisemitism" wrote, "Ridiculous moment on @60Minutes: Lesley Stahl asks hostage Keith Siegel if Hamas starved him because they had no food. He shuts her down. Hamas not only starved him, they ate in front of him, mocked him, sexually humiliated him, and forced him to watch female hostages being tortured." 

It added, "Meanwhile, @CBS pushes Hamas casualty numbers and falsely claims Israel ended the ceasefire. Hamas ended it."

Jewish journalist Ari Hoffman savaged Stahl over the question, stating, "She should ask the Nazis if they meant to starve the Jews in the Holocaust or didn't have enough aid."

Pro-Israel account "Jews Fight Back" posted, "Lesley Stahl looked a Jewish hostage in the face—after being starved, tortured, beaten, and dragged through hell—and asked if maybe Hamas didn’t mean to starve him. Maybe they just didn’t have food. Are you f--- kidding me? Shame on 60 Minutes. Shame on CBS. And shame on every apologist who still can’t admit that Hamas is pure evil."

A Jewish activist account, "Vivid," declared, "I can't believe my eyes. Lesley Stahl had the audacity to ask a Jewish hostage, who was tortured and starved by Hamas, if Hamas really meant to starve him or if they just didn't have enough food. Is this a joke? How the hell can she even ask him that?"

Answer: She is able to ask that because a) she is an idiot; or b) she is a pro-Hamas sympathizer; or c) she is a pro-Hamas sympathizing idiot.

Am Yisrael Chai!

Benjamin Netanyahu demands "revenge" after Hamas returns wrong remains

The remains of four Israelis, two of them the Bibas children, along with their mother, Shiri, and Oded Lifschitz, were to be returned Thursday. All four were kidnapped on October 7, 2023 by Palestinian civilians along with Hamas, and taken hostage in Gaza.

Hamas lied. The body that was supposed to be that of Shiri, was instead the body of an unidentified woman. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised "revenge" on Hamas upon discovering what the terror group had done.

"These Hamas monsters also cynically refused to bring back the boys’ mother, Shiri, and sent the body of a Gazan woman instead, in brazen violation of the agreement," Netanyahu said in a statement on Friday.

Remember, Israel promised to release scores of terrorist prisoners in exchange for one Israeli, dead or alive. So Hamas tricked them and even celebrated in the streets when the coffins were marched along in a macabre celebration of the deaths of Jews.

"And as the prime minister of Israel, I vow that I will not rest until the savages who executed our hostages are brought to justice. They do not deserve to walk this earth. Nothing will stop me. Nothing," he added.

It was also revealed that the children did not die in an Israeli airstrike but instead were choked to death and their bodies made to look as if they had died due to Israeli bombs. It's obvious that Hamas and their ilk will do anything to forward their propaganda, and there are plenty of useful idiots in the diaspora who will believe anything negative about Jewish people.

IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, citing forensic findings and intelligence, confirmed on Friday that Ariel and Kfir Bibas "were murdered by terrorists in cold blood. The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys, they killed them with their own hands. Afterwards, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities."

Hagari said Hamas’ handing over "the body of an anonymous woman" instead of Shiri Bibas was "further evidence of Hamas’ barbaric cruelty."

Ofri Bibas Levy, Yarden Bibas’ sister, however, struck a different chord in a statement released by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.

"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, we did not receive an apology from you in this painful moment. For Ariel and Kfir's sake, and for Yarden's sake, we are not seeking revenge right now. We are asking for Shiri," Levy said in the statement.

I can only imagine the pain Ofri feels about the losses of her family, but to blame Netanyahu is unfair. Israel may have screwed up on Oct, 7th but they are doing all they can, at least from my perspective, to get the hostages home. 

The revelation that Shiri’s body was not returned alongside her sons sparked widespread outrage. Many celebrities, including Doctor Phil, condemned Hamas' ploy and expressed disgust with them.

I could go on by quoting the anger people expressed over the "horrific" actions, and "clear violation" of the ceasefire agreement, but that's only stating the obvious. 

U.S. Envoy for Hostages Adam Boehler warned that if Hamas does not release all the remaining hostages, it will "face total annihilation."

Let's hope he means it. Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and any of those who participated in the killing of Israelis must be destroyed.

Netanyahu also delivered a message to the fallen Israelis whose bodies were returned by Hamas on Thursday.

"Ariel, Kfir and Oded: I am so sorry we couldn't save you from the monsters who did this. We honor your kind and loving souls, so tragically cut down by evil terror," Netanyahu said.

Israel is preparing to receive six living hostages on Saturday, two of whom have been held hostage in Gaza for over a decade. 

We'll see how it turns out. Am Yisrael Chai.

It looks like Hamas killed the Bibas babies and mother: please let me be wrong

Hamas claims that it will release the bodies of four hostages on Thursday. Among them are the two Bibas children. I want to hear what the Jew-hating congress scum members of the so called Squad has to say about this. I want to hear how kidnapping and killing children is justified because they were 'occupiers' of a land that was inhabited by the Jews before Islam made its bloody appearance on Earth.

The Hamasshole negotiator Khalil al-Hayya said the bodies to be released would include those of the Bibas family - Shiri and her young children Kfir and Ariel. They were aged nine months and four years when the terrorist scum kidnapped them during the 7 October 2023 attack.

Their father, Yarden, was was released earlier this month.

The negotiator said the terrorists would also release six living hostages on Saturday – double the number originally planned to be released.

In exchange, Israel will free all women and those under the age of 19 arrested since last October and is allowing some rubble-clearing equipment into Gaza through the border with Egypt.

In a statement, al-Hayya said the group agreed "handing over four bodies of the occupation prisoners on Thursday 20 February, including the bodies of the Bibas family."

Hamas claimed in November 2023 they had been killed in an Israeli air strike, as they do all the time to avoid blame. The Israeli military has not confirmed the report. Israeli officials have said only that they are gravely concerned for their lives.

An Israeli official told Reuters that deceased hostages would undergo identification in Israel before being named.

They are likely dead

Hamas has also named two of the six Israelis to be released on Saturday: Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, who were seized in 2014 and 2015 respectively after they crossed into Gaza on their own. The Israeli government has said both suffered from mental health issues at the time, because, hey, who wouldn't?

Under the first phase of the ceasefire agreement, Hamas agreed to release 33 hostages. In exchange, Israel agreed to release about 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. 

In terms of human value, I see that as a fair exchange.
