From the media narrative, you’d think Alkadi would have been grateful to have gotten away from the terrible Israelis, and would have embraced his Hamas captors. Instead, he was grateful to be freed from Hamas captivity. Now, why is that?
“IDF rescues Hamas hostage and father of 11 by chance after finding him alone in Gaza tunnel,” by Olivia Land, New York Post, August 27, 2024:
An Israeli hostage being held by Hamas was rescued by special forces after they encountered him alone in a tunnel beneath southern Gaza by chance Tuesday, officials and reports said.
Qaid Farhan Alkadi, 52, who was kidnapped by the terror group on Oct. 7, was found in a tunnel in Mahrat during a “complex rescue operation,” according to the IDF.
The elite 13th Fleet found Alkadi – a father of 11 from the Bedouin Arab community – by chance in a room about 25 yards underground, two senior Israeli officials told the New York Times.
Alkadi, a father of 11 from the Bedouin Arab community, was rescued by IDF soldiers from the 13th Fleet Unit, 401st Brigade, as well as Yalam and Shin Bet fighters, the military said.
He was by himself without guards, the officials said. The Israeli military is still trying to piece together why he was seemingly abandoned by his captors….

The “captors” probably expected him to try to find his way out and perhaps be killed when the IDF got into the tunnel. That way, the Jews could be blamed for the death of a hostage.
One of the former hostages said she was not injured by hamas, but by the IDF. Anything…even by some of the Jews from Israel…can and is being used to put more guilt on the Israelis.

1. Hamas doesn’t mind killing and kidnapping muslims.
2. How come he is not described as Palestinian Israeli but Bedouin Arab? Any Arab who becomes Israel citizen is suddenly not a Palestinian in connotation as a people or tribe?
Nobody complains about the Arab Israelis not be called as a Palestinian, which means there is no Palestinian as a tribe, the Palestinians basically are just Arabs like other Arabs who came to the Canaan land. Therefore, their claim of the land is not solid at all.

Who says he was a hostage? Does he say that? And so why trust him on his word?

Father of 11 children? Must be a devout mohamedan. Found in a tunnel? What was he doing there to begin with? Playing hostage, when he’s a fellow mohamedan? Part of the ummah? By himself, without guards? Come on man, who are you kidding? This guy made up this lie to get out with no harm.
