The entire civilized world was shocked by the images of the three Israeli hostages released by Hamas on Shabbos except for the BBC. Not only was BBC not shocked, they even dared claim that Israel carries out similar atrocities to Palestinian terrorists in Israeli prisons. In an interview with Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Sunday, only hours after the shocking images of the skeletal Israeli hostages were broadcast live to the world, BBC host Laura Kuenssberg had the audacity to ask Herzog how he justifies what Israel does to Palestinian prisoners (a euphemism for terrorists and mass murderers). Her question came despite Herzog describing the pitiable condition of  Eli Sharabi, Ohad Ben Ami, and Or Levi, saying: “They were held in tunnels throughout the entire period and had no contact with the outside world. They were starved, returning completely emaciated. They suffered from an enormous amount of injuries, pain, and wounds, and of course, we haven’t even talked about their mental state. We were all shocked and horrified when we saw them emerging from Hamas captivity.” When Kuenssberg angrily asked about the Palestinian prisoners, Herzog responded in an admirably calm manner, saying: “I absolutely reject that. And I think that this equality that the BBC is always trying to make is outrageous and preposterous. It’s absolutely not true. We are a democracy that abides by the rule of law. All prisoners in Israel get whatever is necessary under the supervision of the court. A Supreme Court justice even recently visited the prisons.” “Not only that but some of the terrorists didn’t even want to leave,” Herzog continued. “They didn’t want to go back to Gaza. They preferred staying in Israeli prisons.” (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
