Hamas films hostage videos with multiple takes, director instructions as to what they want the hostages to say.
Wall Street Journal reported the testimony from former hostage Aviva Siegel, that Hamas told her what to say on the video:
“‘You didn’t say that you’re 62.’ ‘You didn’t say that you’re from Kfar Aza.’ ‘You didn’t say that Bibi needs to bring you back,’” she said, using the nickname of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
With insight, we warned against viewing Hamas movies way back in October 2023, because we foresaw the plans for manipulation:
Hamas’ purpose with the Aviva and Hersh type of film is to psychologically torment Israelis so that they will pressure the government to quit attacking Hamas.
