Shock at the condition of the Israeli hostages Ohad Ben Ami, Or Levy, and Eli Sharabi, who were released from Hamas captivity on February 8, 2025, was expressed not only by Israelis but also by liberal Arab journalists and writers. They strongly condemned Hamas for starving the hostages, who were captured in the October 7, 2023 attack, and compared their treatment to the treatment of Jews at the hands of the Nazi regime.
Some of the writers criticized the cynical show staged by Hamas upon releasing the hostages and commented that the organization’s operatives did not look like people who had suffered a « genocide » or « starvation » in Gaza. One writer also directed his criticism at the Red Cross, stating that those who collaborated with the Nazis by turning a blind eye to the condition of the Jews in the concentration camps are now cooperating with Hamas. Another claimed that Israel will eventually take its revenge on Hamas, Qatar and Turkey for the « Nazi crimes » committed against its citizens.
This report provides examples of this criticism.
« Hamas Treated The Hostages The Same Way The Nazis Treated The Jews «
In a post on her X account, liberal Egyptian journalist Dalia Ziada shared a photo of the three Israeli hostages alongside a photo of Holocaust survivors in 1945, and wrote « never again! »[1]
Amjad Taha, a commentator residing in the UAE, wrote in English: « Hamas treated hostages the same way the Nazis treated the Jews, starving them and keeping them in uniform, just as Hitler did to Holocaust survivors. Our hearts and prayers are with the families who have witnessed this in Israel. This inhumane act in Gaza in 2025 is beyond condemnation. May God bless you. »[2]
