I can't help but wonder what must be going through the heads of the hostages if/when we get a release. Like.. imagine holding on to hope for 2 years that Israel will get you back -- they always do, right? - and time just keeps ticking on. Then one day you finally get released, and learn for sure what happened over the last two years. The way people internationally blamed your country for this and justified your suffering as freedom fighting. The war with Iran where hypersonic missiles were getting through the Iron Dome and even the US didn't intervene. The fact Donald Trump is president again. That Greta Thunberg of all people has now twice tried to make a mockery of your suffering.

I just.. cannot begin to imagine the emotions of learning that after 2 years of captivity, the world doesn't see you as a victim.
