Tales of a nightmare. Aviva Siegel, one of the Israeli hostages freed by Hamas, denounced before the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, that women and even men who are still imprisoned are being raped in the tunnels under the Gaza Strip. “Terrorists wear clothes that are not suitable for girls, they dress them like dolls.” They have made the girls their dolls with whom they can do whatever they want. And it is unbelievable that they are still there,” denounced the woman, who emerged from her home along with her husband Keith, still held hostage in Gaza, and her daughter Shir, who sat next to her in the courtroom was kidnapped in Kibbutz Kfar Aza. “I want to tell you that children experience these things too. They can’t get pregnant but they go through with it,” she insisted. “And now something has to change.” I would like to return as a hostage to protect those girls, like I did when I was there. I felt like they were my daughters.
The cruel statement was also confirmed by another former hostage present at the event, Chen Goldstein Almog: “There are many girls who have not had their periods.” Maybe that's why we should pray so that the body protects them somehow, so that they, God forbid, don't get pregnant.” Aviva's daughter Shir publicly stressed to MPs that her mother's statement was “just the tip of the iceberg” and objected to the fact that there were no ministers in the chamber to listen to the stories could release the other hostages still in Hamas hands.
