Over the break, we discovered that a second American hostage held by the terrorist group Hamas died in captivity. Which makes it murder.

A second U.S. citizen being held captive in Gaza was announced dead Thursday, and Israeli officials said she was actually murdered on Oct. 7 and Hamas has been holding her body captive ever since.

Kibbutz Nir Oz announced the death of resident Judi Weinstein Haggai, a 70-year-old New York native who was an English teacher who specialized in working with special needs children, according to Israeli and U.S. media reports.

A young woman released by Hamas has revealed that the statement she made while still in Hamas' grasp, that they were treating her well, was, get this, false.

Now that she's actually free, she can report the truth: they raped her.

Schem and her girlfriend tried to escape the music festival on 10/7 but drove straight toward a group of Hamas terrorists who shot the tires out from under her car. Then a group got out near her and shot her in the arm. She says her arm was "detached." It sounds from the description like the bone was broken and her arm just flopped. She picked it up and tried to hide in the car as Hamas continued killing anyone who seemed to be alive. Finally her car was on fire and she had a choice between burning alive and handing herself over to Hamas. She decided to live.

And immediately she was sexually assaulted, despite the fact she was covered in blood. They put her in a van and took her back to Gaza. She spent most of her captivity there with her captor and his family in a little house. For three days she had no painkillers and no medical attention. Then they took her to a hospital and operated on her arm. She was filmed for a Hamas propaganda video in which a doctor wrapped her arm but that was the last time she received any medical help. No meds or painkillers. She was barely given any food.

She says her entire time in captivity it was clear to her that her captor wanted to rape her but he couldn't do that because his wife and family were in the next room. The wife was clearly unhappy about her being there as well and showed her unhappiness by taunting her with food or talking to her husband about how her hair was fake. Her captor later confessed to her that he was unhappily married and didn't love his wife.

Unbelievable.

Even the children seemed to get in on the taunting. At one point her captor's son brought candy for his father and then showed her what was in the bag and walked away. She described it as "pure evil." Then she added, "There are no innocent civilians there...From the moment those children are born, they're brainwashed that Israel is Palestine and that they must hate Jews."

...

Even after being released Mia is facing a lot of challenges. She's still trying to recover use of her hand and arm but has a long way to go. And she also had some kind of epileptic seizure which doctors apparently put down to weeks of sleep deprivation, malnourishment and stress.

Propagandists including one "Jackson Hinkle" really pushed her verge-of-release statement that she was well-treated. He got millions of hits.

I don't think he's now posting her true account of her captivity.

Even the New York Times has to admit that their allies in Hamas heave "weaponized sexual violence" as a tool of terror.

A two-month investigation by The Times uncovered painful new details, establishing that the attacks against women were not isolated events but part of a broader pattern of gender-based violence on Oct. 7.

Relying on video footage, photographs, GPS data from mobile phones and interviews with more than 150 people, including witnesses, medical personnel, soldiers and rape counselors, The Times identified at least seven locations where Israeli women and girls appear to have been sexually assaulted or mutilated.

Four witnesses described in graphic detail seeing women raped and killed at two different places along Route 232, the same highway where Ms. Abdush's half-naked body was found sprawled on the road at a third location.

And The Times interviewed several soldiers and volunteer medics who together described finding more than 30 bodies of women and girls in and around the rave site and in two kibbutzim in a similar state as Ms. Abdush's -- legs spread, clothes torn off, signs of abuse in their genital areas.

Many of the accounts are difficult to bear, and the visual evidence is disturbing to see.

The Times viewed photographs of one woman's corpse that emergency responders discovered in the rubble of a besieged kibbutz with dozens of nails driven into her thighs and groin.

The Times also viewed a video, provided by the Israeli military, showing two dead Israeli soldiers at a base near Gaza who appeared to have been shot directly in their vaginas.

A nation of Jack-the-Rippers.

They just want to breathe. Why won't you let them breathe, Zionist Scum?

CNN sadly admits that busing illegal immigrants to the cities that consistently vote for unlimited illegal immigrants has worked, at least in a "political" way.

BASH: Look let's just sort of put in context, the politics of this for President Biden, and how important it is. Just one example from a Monmouth approval rating poll -- question. You look at the -- the issues, and how he fares. Infrastructure, jobs, climate change, inflation, immigration, he is now 26 percent. That is not good.

MIN KIM: It's not good at all. And I think that part of the trip yesterday to Mexico, by senior Biden Administration officials, was obviously to have these diplomatic conversations, but also to make the broader administration's point that this is a regional issue that requires regional cooperation, and sort of trying to blunt the criticism from Republicans that you're hearing over and over saying that these were Biden's border policy that's causing these numbers at the border.

But that certainly doesn't change the fact that he's under considerable political pressure over immigration, and that his administration is probably preparing to make some significant compromises on immigration next month.

BASH: Pressure because of the situation at the border, pressure because Republicans are trying as much as they can to -- to blame Biden and his policies. But it's also big city mayors. Democratic mayors in big cities.

[...]

HUNT: Yeah, I mean, that right, there is the problem that Joe Biden has right, in a nutshell, because it is no longer -- you know, for a long time this conversation was these, you know, red state mayors and governors are being alarmist. And, you know, we have to be -- that we have to focus on the humanitarian issue here.

Obviously, the U.S. has a humanitarian responsibility to you know, it's written into the law into our asylum laws. But this crisis has gotten worse, not better.

Trump's leading pick for VP insults Iowa because she's not going to win there (or come in 2nd place, either):

Joy Behar: I've gotten lots of covid vaccines and I keep getting covid so RFKJr.'s criticisms of the vaccine's effectiveness are fake news!

If covid's as deadly as Anthony Fauci said, why wasn't the obese, elderly cast of The View wiped out? Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Reid are basically Comorbidities On Top of Comorbidities On Top of Thick Wobbly Legs.
