Four people held hostage are hostages no more.
Noa Argamani, 25, Almog Meir Jan, 21, Andrey Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 40, all from Nova.
I sorely hope they'll be allowed to recover without a media circus. They aren't responsible for all that was done in their name to return them.
So many families will need time to heal after this horror of a war: theirs among them.
Too many have died already. There is no "winning" a damned thing here. Just the fragile hope of it ending, so all can go home.
@MLClark thank you for this.
10/7 saw plenty of peace-oriented people taken & killed along with the war-minded, but only the war-minded really got coverage in the aftermath, despite many families stressing that loved ones would not want a slaughter in their name.
When violence happens, it's easy for some to act as if it's "proof" that not warring to the fullest is useless, even if the war-minded also brought us here. TMM the memory of many from 10/7 is best honoured by remembering what *they* wanted, too.
