On Aug. 1, Hamas released a video of Evyatar David, an Israeli kidnapped from the Nova music festival on Oct. 7, 2023, and held in the dungeons of Gaza since that day. David was emaciated, practically a skeleton, and moved in slow motion. Near the end of the video, his captors show images of what we are to interpret as starving Palestinian children in Gaza. On the screen appears a message in English, Hebrew, and Arabic: “They eat what we eat. They drink what we drink.”
