Released hostage: ‘Everyone in Gaza is a terrorist’
“Dad, there are two million terrorists there. I sat with [young Palestinian children] who mocked Judaism.”
Another freed Israeli hostage suggests there are no “uninvolved” innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip, and that all two million residents of the coastal enclave are “terrorists” thanks to a decade of Hamas indoctrination.
In an interview with Radio 103FM, Eli Albag, father of Liri Albag, revealed that his daughter told him following her release: “Dad, there are two million terrorists there. I sat with [young Palestinian children] who mocked Judaism.”
Liri was freed from terrorist captivity on Saturday along with fellow female IDF soldiers Daniella Gilboa, Karina Ariev, and Naama Levy.

Eli said he can’t reveal everything his daughter endured, and that he is careful in saying some things out of concern for the remaining hostages. But what’s clear, he stressed, is that the people of Gaza “are not our friends. They are our enemies, they want to kill us. We need to bring everyone home and then stand vigilant.”
“It’s important to know the truth”
One of the first Israeli hostages released in the deal struck in late November 2023 was Mia Schem. Four weeks later she was ready to open up about her ordeal, and told Israel’s Channel 13 News:
“It’s important to me to reveal the truth about the people who live in Gaza, about who they really are. Everyone there [in Gaza] is a terrorist. Entire families are under Hamas. I realized I was staying with a family. I started to ask myself, why am I in a family home? Why are there children here? Why is there a wife here?”
Schem spent 54 days in Hamas captivity, during which time she spoke of being “treated like an animal.” She had been shot and wounded during her abduction from the Nova music festival, and a veterinarian operated on her arm without anesthesia.
“Every house in Gaza supports terror”
In the early months of the war, a Palestinian convert to Judaism who grew up in Gaza tried to warn Israel and the international community of what they were really dealing with.
Dor Shachar was born in Gaza as Ayman Soubach. As a young man he fled to Israel, converted to Judaism and is today happily married and settled in the Jewish state.
He insists Israel and the international community have convinced themselves of a lie.
“For years I have been talking about who they [the Gazans] really are. What they are capable of doing. But no one wanted to listen. Everyone insisted that 95% or more of them are normal, peace-seeking people,” Shachar told Channel 12 News. “Everyone convinced themselves of this.”
But Shachar was raised in Gaza as a Muslim child. He knows exactly what’s going on there and how a decade of indoctrination has impacted the local population.
“They educated us to kill Jews. That anyone who kills a Jew goes to Paradise,” he explained. “No one can tell me personally as someone who was born there, grew up there, went to school there – no one can tell me that the majority of people in Gaza are okay. The truth is that 99% of them are terrorists or supporters of terrorism.”
“Wipe them out”
Earlier this month, Avida Bachar, a resident of Kibbutz Be’eri whose wife and son were murdered on October 7, 2023, supported Israel going along with the controversial ceasefire that got Liri out of Gaza, but suggested that Israel then betray the deal and destroy Hamas.
Like many Israelis living in the Western Negev, Bachar used to believe the lie that most Palestinians in Gaza just want to live a prosperous life. That Black Shabbat fundamentally altered his perspective, Bachar told Channel 14 News.
“On October 7th, I realized I was wrong. They all want to destroy the State of Israel, and from their perspective all means of achieving that are acceptable,” he noted, stressing that such an evil “must not be allowed to exist.”
“Everyone there [in Gaza] is a terrorist,” added Bachar. “The solution is not peace and coexistence. It’s a matter of land and control. We should take Gaza and exile [the people] to Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Every child born there will seek our destruction.”
