terrible tragedy, imagine what these poor people (kind loving young people at a music festival, mostly hippies, just kind people) went through, worse than any nightmare. May the Light shine on these victims and their families

[@plheuck]

The newscaster kept interrupting this father's heartfelt comments and I thought that was rather rude.

[@createone100]

Yes, the shiny, happy newscaster comes across as a cartoon. He has no clue about a father’s pain, and that is so obvious.

[@angelashort1331]

VERY VERY RUDE ,!

[@midokhalil1558]

Cuz the father was spewing bs , none of the released hostages said they were raped only mia Shem said one fighter of hamas was raping her with his eyes idk if that’s even considered a rape , I get his sadness over Shani but he acts like he was there

[@carolinemarch2626]

My sincere condolences to all the families, friends and loved ones. So sad. ❤

[@yolamari]

Why did you cut the father off when he was talking? Why bother interviewing the families that are heartbroken if you don’t let them speak without interruption? To the father whose daughter was murdered on the 07/10, “ My heartfelt condolences to your family, Sir. I pray that God will give you the comfort and strength you need right now. Please know, the Jewish people are loved and respected by many of us around the world.🌻

[@hope4all366]

Please, in the future, have someone else interview the family members and allow them to speak.

[@chrisganesha]

I’m truly sorry for these families losses. The headline reads “Hamas hostages” when these people are Israelis who were hostages of Hamas. It’s deeply disturbing, NewsNation, in my personal opinion.

[@onetuliptree]

The father is talking about the hostages taken by the Hamas on October 7 from an international music concert. The father said among the 125 people still held by Hamas are 10 American citizens.

[@evelyntrujillo4912]

Why didnt they let the father finish saying what he was saying... was it bc he was speaking of the Bible, and said of the blessings you get if you bless lsrael, and the curses God will give if you curse lsrael... they dhould have let finish speaking...

[@adprocloud5187]

My sincere condolences to the family and friends. And the message of the father to all the Christians of the world should not be cut But people who have read the Bible know what it says there and pray for Israel , IDF soldiers and for the peace in Jerusalem.

[@patriciamillikin5643]

Newsnation sucks. Cut the interview when they didn't like what he said.

[@drexplordinaire]

I dont give a shit about that stupid book.

[@niliross4326]

Trust the reporting, they stopped the father talking in mid sentence

[@LuxoriMiracleSeraphim]

:( Aww sorry about his daughter... Peace and comfort to his heart.

[@georgia4407]

Very tragic! Just horrific!

[@nathalieforest8497]

After 7 months dead in the tunnels, just imagine whow long it took for forensic to identifie her

[@Lesloi6227]

DNA typing is really quick these days.

[@dahlialilly]

Her mother said her body was in good condition and well preserved from the coldness. She was still recognizable. They ID her threw dna and dental records.

[@jhh2001]

Listen this is very tragic and sad and I feel for the girl and horror she had to endure and the insurmountable pain this family has to live with each and every day but another 20,000 children and their extended families have also been through and are still experiencing this still every single day and I feel that too. I would also like the world to know those people as well because ALL of it is horrifying!!

[@lilybond6485]

Why the h did you cut off Shani Louk’s father ?!

[@fionaventer8510]

We Christians stand wth Israel

[@christopherfarmer5824]

This hurts

[@goodgrandma2758]

That’s right. The Jewish are God’s Chosen. God Loves them. I love them too. ❤❤

[@danmayberry1185]

Utterly tragic - these families will never be the same. Bibi failed to keep his citizens safe. That is the #1 duty of any leader. Reports say he was warned, but that can be adjudicated later with his other indictments. Moreover, he knew Hamas would not keep Palestinian citizens safe. Those two facts surpass any other moral argument.

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

So, a country is not allowed to defend itself after a murderous attack and mass kidnapping of its people, just because it knows the government of the other side will not keep its civilians safe? The safety of civilians in Gaza is the Gazan government's responsibility, not the responsibility of Israel.

[@danmayberry1185]

@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci No, a country is not allowed to do that. It's a war crime. On May 8, the UN published data showing 34,844 people in Gaza had been killed, including 4,959 women and 7,797 children. Gaza is less than half the size of Disney World. It's unforgivable that Hamas killed 1,200 on Oct 7 and took hostages. It is a terrorist organization, and behaves like one. Israel is not, and should not behave like one.

[@lilybond6485]

Poor Shani. She had her entire life ahead of her. Makes me sick what happened to her.

[@suez8070]

We love the Jews. Why was this video cut off when he said that. I wanted to hear everything he has to say.

[@bonitobonita9263]

Just let him speak wth

[@diggerduckaussie6834]

I am so sorry sir, hugs from me from Australia, the thing I really don't understand is Palestine people attacking her after she had died, what sort of sick race do that, I seen the video when it happened, it broke my heart.

[@janlev-111A]

Tragedy, Netanyahu failed.

[@rvflex1934]

Absolutely gut wrenching to hear about her death. We know the IDF killed two hostages earlier in the war. Whether by accident or intentionally. Who's to say who gets killed by which side now.

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

They accidentally killed three hostages in Gaza who had escaped their captors, back in December. Why would you think they killed their own people "deliberately"? And it's a known fact that Shani Louk was killed by Hamas in Israel on Oct. 7th. They found forensic evidence proving it, a piece of her skull left on the site after she was shot in the head, and there was also the live-streamed video Hamas released that day, of them parading her deceased body through the streets of Gaza.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci some people really cannot be reasoned with. It's been 7 months and some people still feel sorry for these socalled Palestinians.

[@JTR253]

@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ciWell IDF did deploy helicopters to the festival. Many of the Israelis and others burned beyond recognition is due to Israeli helicopter attacks to supposedly fight hamas. There has been peace deals where Israelis will be released as Israel will release Palestinians which are at least 10000 in Israeli jails. They have left prisoners tied up which cut off blood circulation and caused hands and feet to be amputated. Bibi wants this war as he is gone once it is over. He has to escalate as protestors have been protesting and asking for his removal much longer than October 2023. He also tanked the peace negotiations in 2000 with Arafat. He looks normal because he has even worse right wing terrorists in his government.

jews believe in the pagan GOD? they worship the sun GOD towards the east of the western wall? Ezekiel 8:15-16 15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these. 16 And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

[@jenniferj2456]

Does it look to anyone else like her dad is less in pain and more enjoying the press spotlight. Weird.

[@georgia4407]

No!

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

No you're the only one thinking that.

[@gypsyrose7554]

You're twisted he's sad. It's been 8 months. They've cried and mourned now are dealing with it. Do you expect them to be depressed and cry for the rest of their life? They have no choice but to move on. You can hear the pain in his voice.

[@audreydaleski1067]

Two states. Return settlement land. All need equal lives.

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

The "Palestinian" Arabs don't want a two state solution. They've turned down the offer of their own state six times since 1947. The 1947 offer would have given them the same amount of land as Israel: all of what came to be called the West Bank, all of Gaza, with a land strip connecting the two, plus additional territory along the Egyptian border. "Return settlement land" is a moot point; it was never Arab land to begin with, because they'd rejected the offer to make it part of their state.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

You are naive if you think a two state solution is an option anymore.

[@brianclarke4831]

It’s not his land. It belongs to the people of Gaza, it was stolen, and they were herded into a concentration camp 76 years ago. 😐

[@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci]

It is his land; it is Israel's land. Take it up with the UN if you don't like it, but international law says it is, and has said so since Israel was recognized as a nation in 1948. Its land never belonged to the people of Gaza, most of whom are in fact Egyptian in origin and were economic migrants to the land of Israel no earlier than 1920. Technically and legally all the land actually belonged to Britain, as it had belonged to he Ottoman Turks before 1918, and the British gave it to the Jews for their state. The Arabs of Gaza descend either from people who had been living there already when the 1948 war broke out, people who moved there from Egypt after 1948 when Egypt occupied it, or Arabs who fled Israel before the war, or were expelled after the war. They were expelled for state security reasons because they had supported the Arab war against the Jews; they would have been allowed to stay if they hadn't done that. Over 100,000 Arabs who took no part in the war did stay in Israel, became citizens, and their descendants make up nearly 20% of Israeli citizens today.
