Sheryl Sandberg Instagram – Today at Hostage Square in Israel, hundreds gathered to demand the immediate release of all 120 hostages still being held by Hamas. They heard from survivors of the October 7 attacks and families of victims. And they watched @screamsbeforesilence.
For nine agonizing months, the hostages have suffered unimaginable hardships. Agam Goldstein Almog, who was held captive by Hamas for 51 days, bravely shared her story and spoke about the threats of sexual violence and the constant fear of death she endured. She also explained why documenting Hamas’ crimes is so important: “This film is about reality — a reality where women were raped, tortured, and slaughtered. This film is about a reality where women in captivity are sexually assaulted. The film is about assaults on women, after which only silence remains.”
To everyone working tirelessly to #BringThemHome, thank you. Your voice is so important in making sure that they are not left behind and that everything is done to ensure their release.
To the families and friends of the innocent people still being held, my heart is with you. I pray every day for the safe return of each and every hostage. | Posted on 16/Jul/2024 08:59:48
