An Israeli mother who was reported to be a hostage of Hamas with her daughter for 49 days in Gaza was elated about the apparent interfaith dialog she had with the terrorist group while they were detained, where she wrote a “thank you letter” to them saying, “I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your extraordinary humanity shown towards my daughter, Emilia.”
Danielle and Emilia Aloni were among 24 Israeli hostages that were released by Hamas on November 24. They were captured while visiting Danielle’s sister and her family at a Kibbutz in southern Israel before they were taken hostage.
The armed wing of Hamas called Qassam Brigades shared the letter on its official telegram account on November 27.
The handwritten letter in Hebrew was posted along with an Arabic translation and a photograph of the mother and daughter.
The woman additionally said the following in the letter, which I believe is either some sort of a pro-Hamas publicity stunt or it is indicative of the woman suffering from Stockholm Syndrome:
“She (Emilia) acknowledges feeling like all of you are her friends, not just friends, but truly beloved and good.”
“Thank you for the many hours you spent as caregivers.”
“Children should not be in captivity, but thanks to you and other kind people we met along the way, my daughter felt like a queen in Gaza.”
“In the long journey we have been on, we have not met anyone who has not been kind to her, you have treated her with kindness and compassion.”
“I will remember your kind behaviour shown in spite of the difficult situation you faced and the severe losses you suffered here in Gaza.”
“I wish in this world we could truly be good friends,”
“I wish you all health and well-being… health and love to you and your families’ children.”
On October 7, 2023 Hamas invaded Israel in a massive terrorist attack (link), killing and sometimes raping and beheading many hundreds of Israelis while the group was taking hostages. See this article that details many of the atrocities that were committed.
Contrary to Mrs. Aloni’s admiration for her captors, many more believable reports exist that detail mistreatment at the hands of the terrorists (link, link, link, and link).
