- Chicago-area mom Judith Raanan and her daughter were abducted by Hamas during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel. The pair, who have American-Israeli citizenship, were later released as part of a deal Hamas made with the Qatari government. Raanan sat down with Elizabeth Vargas to recount her experience the day of the attack and while she was a hostage.

I hope Israel gets all their people back
What about the 6,000 Palestinian hostages Israel has held since before Oct 7
It's estimated that over 60 of the hostages are already dead from Oct. 7, how many remain alive, Hamas won't answer because they use this information for psychological warfare.
the young adults born over there are going through this for 75 years, for sure they will recover !
“The minute we came in, all the nurses were standing there and going like this [cheering]. They were all so happy that they came back with prey, with Israeli-Jewish prey,” Judith Raanan
Imagine so-called "healthcare workers" cheering a hostage-taking, seeing a group of terrified injured women and children dragged in. Another confirmation that many, even most, adult "civilians" there are complicit. But what did they actually think the consequences were going to be? These were intelligent people, with an education. Even if they had no morality, surely they had the sense to know this was going to bring nothing but calamity down on them?
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci they live in a bubble of religious fanatical hatred and a reverence for those who kill and are killed for their god which is what they aspire to and honor above all else.
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci They must simply be so indoctrinated with animosity towards them that it overrides their humanity.
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci Ignorantly, people do not understand that there are consequences for such behaviour..if you delight in barbaric acts, then at some time you will reap than and yourself be the object of barbaric acts.
@@KathyPrendergast-cu5ci..those intelligent people have been educated.... to hate Jews. They revel in the death and misery of Jews. They never think of the consequences because they have been told Hamas would win and that Israel would never dare invade Gaza. No so intelligent.....
Where’s the rest of the interview???
There is a link at the top
@@theinngu5560Thanks, but it actually seems like they’re posting the rest today.
It's like a movie..acting n stuff
Omg 😭😢🥹 praying for you all 🙏🏼🙌🏼 I can’t imagine 😭🥹😢 been a mother a woman 🥹😢 I am so sorry 😞
News Nation, why would you post this video that doesn't even touch on the quoted sentence in the title?
this entire clip is pathetic like most clips from US media about the attacks of October 7, and the hostages. Here they also show IDF when they talk about the terrorist attack, except one second of a little kid getting kidnapped by Palestinians. It's all a mess. Zero thought, zero attention to detail.
The only good media about this is Israeli media, that shows hour long stories about what happened that day. Here you can barely get 5 minutes of crap.
And why repeat the lie that Hamas is known to use sexual violence? There was no wide spread sexual violence. This women and her daughter were not raped nor where any other of the released hostages or survivors at the festival or in the Kibutzim.
If you go to the link in the description, there is a longer written article about the interview, posted under this video. Presumably they are planning to publish more of the interview later; that's generally how it's done now. But I agree; they shouldn't include a detail like that in the headline when they don't show her saying it.
@@sabinereynaudsf why do you feel the need to defend Hamas on the subject of rape? There's evidence they or their fellow Palestinians participated in rape on October 7, but Hamas did far worse crimes against humanity on October 7, murder and kidnapping of babies, children, elderly, women and men.
@@sabinereynaudsf... The women and girls that were raped were murdered afterwards. Even the UN admits that it happened. Why can't you? Is Qatar paying you too much?
She reminds me of Meryl Streep, thank God they made it back. Praying for all the hostages🙏

Al Beeb won't cover this, much preferring to accuse IDF of brutality . . .
the UN not only admitted that their is plausible cause that hamas raped some of the hostages. In the same session, they admitted that there is plausible cause that the idf are raping woman and children in isreali prisons. If you wouldn't be so afraid of watching al jazeera, you'd know this.

Thank you for the coverage. It seems muvh of the media has forgotten the truth
She had to be briefed months of Israeli and US propaganda before she could come out and speak. She must have felt detested towards the Commander to ask him to hold her hand!
So can we please release the 10000 palasines hostage.Or they are all dead.That why they will never release the palasines hostage.
There were different squads sent out that day, the death squad, the rape squad, the torture squad and the "hostage taking" squad. Her and her daughter are lucky they were met by the hostage taking squad.
The title is misleading which is not honest and we really don't get the full story about what happened to the mother and daughter,
which is just as well. With all due respect to the mom, she just doesn't get it, there's no one in command of Hamas who is going to put a stop to it, they're fanatics, that's how they operate, end of story. Personally, I'm sick that someone disarmed the people on the border, had they been armed this never would have happened. Prayers to the family. Regards, Denis Berte' USMC
Well, we all know what Islam teaches. Ever see what happened to the Yazidis? Or see what happened to gays or apostates in Islam?
The link for the full interview is in the description
No-one disarmed anyone at the border. Most of the people who lived in those kibbutzim were Peaceniks, who employed and provided aid to people in Gaza. They didn't want to have guns, as they were naive enough to believe the Arabs wouldn't harm them. Lastly, the Commanders of Hamas specifically ordered their thugs to commit the atrocities to send a message to all Israelis. That being, " We are worse than the Nazis ". If you want the whole story, just click on the link provided in the description. Duh.....

#BringThemHome Am Israel Chai
The missing context for what's happening in Gaza is that Israel has been working night and day to ethnically cleanse the Palestinian people from their homeland since even before Israel become a state - when it was known as the Zionist movement.
Israel didn't just cleanse Palestinians in 1948, when it was founded as a Western colonial project, and again under cover of a regional war in 1967. It also worked to ethnically cleanse Palestinians every day between those dates and afterwards.
The 'settler' project, as we call it, is a misnomer. It's really Israel's ethnic cleansing programme. Israel even has a special word for it in Hebrew: 'Judaisation', or making the land Jewish. It is official government policy.
Gaza was the largest of the Palestinian reservations created by Israel's ethnic cleansing programme, and the most overcrowded. To stop the inhabitants spilling out, Israel built a fence-barrier in the early 1990s to pen them in. Then when policing became too hard from within the prison, Israel pulled back in 2005 to the outer perimeter barrier.
New technology allowed Israel to besiege Gaza remotely by land, sea and air in 2007, limiting the entry of food and vital items like medicine and cement for construction. Automated gun towers shot anyone who came near the fence. The navy patrolled the sea, stopping boats straying more than a kilometre or two off shore. And drones watched 24 hours a day from the sky.
The people of Gaza were sealed in and largely forgotten, except when they lobbed a few rockets over the fence - to international indignation. If they fired too many rockets, Israel bombed them mercilessly and occasionally launched a ground invasion. The rocket threat was increasingly neutralised by a rocket interception system, paid for the US, called Iron Dome.
Palestinians tried to be more inventive in finding ways to break out of their prison. They built tunnels. But Israel found ways to identify those that ran close to the fence and destroyed them.
Palestinians tried to get attention by protesting en masse at the fence. Israeli snipers were ordered to shoot them in the legs, leading to thousands of amputees.
The 'deterrence' seemed to work. Israel could once again sit back and let the Palestinians rot in Gaza. 'Quiet' had been restored.
Until, that is, last weekend when Hamas broke out briefly and ran amok, killing civilians and soldiers alike.
So Israel now needs a new policy. It looks like the ethnic cleansing programme is being applied to Gaza anew. The half of the population in the enclave's north is being herded south, where there are not the resources to cope with them. And even if there were, Israel has cut off food, water and power to everyone in Gaza.
The enclave is quickly becoming a pressure cooker. The pressure is meant to build on Egypt to allow the Palestinians entry into Sinai on 'humanitarian' grounds.
Whatever the media are telling you, the 'conflict' - that is, Israel's ethnic cleansing programme - started long before Hamas appeared on the scene. In fact, Hamas emerged very late, as the predictable response to Israel's violent colonisation project.
And no turning point was reached a week ago. This has all been playing out in slow motion for more than 100 years.
Ignore the fake news. Israel isn't defending itself. It's enforcing its right to continue ethnically cleansing Palestinians.
#JonathanCookBlog
Population of Palestinians in Gaza has increased tenfold in past years. That's not ethnic cleansing; that's a population explosion. Your claims are ridiculous.
Just seems like propaganda
The LORD reigns over all the earth forever. HalleluYah. Amen. ❤❤❤
Elisabeth Vargas, you should ask the Hostage, how Hostile the Palestinians are, against them. And how the Palestinian People are helping Hamas. Elisabeth Vargas, you shoul expand your narrow Horizon, when it comes to Hamas and the Palestinian Support.
Read NYPost the article for 10/20 2023 who are Judith and Nathalie Raanan. It tells about reasons why she was released, it also explains why she says what she says this in this video.
Martin Fletcher's relative. He has many contacts with Palestinians. Why they got released. Personal relationships matter.

Prove they're not raped. The evidences the UN has come from the dodgy first responders; most have been debunked
Get a job.
@@Anisky123 I got one. I try to critically analyze news pieces. I like using my brain. I hear a lot on the news of Hamas barbarity, so I want to see what she says about her stay with them. Is the media blowing up a few incidents or was this common practice by Hamas?
So when a journalist has a opportunity to ask a former hostage and they don't ask these questions I feel it was a wasted opportunity.
@@paulstone3590 the full interview is in the description
@@gordonbgraham I just read it, there is nothing about her stay with Hamas. She got treated for her injury but nothing else. So I assume she and her daughter weren't raped or beaten. Otherwise she would have said something.
I know the Isrealis want to keep pointing to mass rape and child killing to shift attention away from their massive killing of civilians in Gaza. To dehuminaze the Palestinians too. But the Isrealis don't provide much evidence. And they keep killing civilians there daily. And the media protect them.

Some key points our "unbiased" News Nation/Elizabeth Vargas forgot to mention:
Point 1: 1300 or 1139 Israelis killed as per Haaretz? You do know that only 695 out of 1139 were actually Israeli civilians and rest were members of the Israeli Diaper Forces. Do you know many of the 695 Israeli civilians were actually killed by Israeli Diaper Forces due to panic when they came in for "rescue/hannibal" operation.
Point 2: “Reliable circumstantial information, WHICH MAY BE indicative of some form of sexual violence, including genital mutilation, sexual torture, or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, was also collected,” the 24-page UN report said.
PRAMILA PATTEN SAYS HER TEAM WAS UNABLE TO MEET WITH ANY VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT “DESPITE A COLLECTIVE EFFORT TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO REPORT.” A bit strange but I guess we can just blame it on spicy Humus and move on right!
But i assume you take everything hamas says as true 😂😂😂

What entire nation? The Arab world? The Arabs living in Mandate Palestine considered themselves Arab only. The was no such thing as a Palestinian ethnicity or nation. They didn't want any part of that word. Arabs only began referring to themselves by that term in 1963, 15 years AFTER the establishment of the modern state of Israel. Your entire premise is a fabrication.

There is no evidence of Rape. It is amazing that story has been able to run with no evidence.
Notice the wording of the UN statement. They don't say "there is convincing _evidence_ of rape" they say "there is convincing _information_ of rape". Something's a little fishy with that report.
They filmed it themselves...independent journalists have seen the video so has the UN which has verified it. Cope and seethe terror cheerleader
The Isrealis are using mass rape claims as a way to distract attention away from their ongoing massace of the civilian Palestinian population. Flour massace occurs they cry rape. The woman interviewed said nothing because it didn't occur.

The news was out 5 months before the UN were forced to admit it.
The title of their report was contradictory to its content and press release. At presser Patten claims "sexual violence occurred on 7 October," yet concedes:
- "Unfounded and inaccurate forensic evidence" was collected by "untrained volunteer first responders," who were also responsible for "the loss of potentially valuable evidence," referring to ZAKA
- No allegations of sexual violence in Kibbutz Beeri could be verified
- Three major allegations (by ZAKA) were
"unfounded"
- No attribution of sexual violence to Hamas or other factions could be made
- She did not meet with any Israeli victims of sexual violence on 10/7, none were made available
- "the alteration of crime scenes" marred her ability to collect info
- "Efforts to collect evidence were beset by...the large number of bodies affected by extensive burn damage." This is yet another indication of the extensive Israeli use of tanks and attack helicopters against Palestinian militants and Israeli citizens according to the Hannibal directive
