When you look at photos of Eli Sharabi before he was kidnapped on the day that his wife and two daughters were murdered, it’s hard to believe that it’s the same human being we see upon his release from Gazan captivity.

Sharabi’s interview with Ilana Dayan on UVDA, Israel’s “60 Minutes,” more or less, has had a huge impact in Israel. It has now been posted on Facebook and Twitter with English subtitles by UnXeptable, an organization of Israelis in the US devoted to defending Israeli democracy.

The interview is simply a must-watch. Below are two links. Take the time to watch and to listen.

LINKS TO THE INTERVIEW:

Here is the interview on UnXeptable’s X (formerly Twitter) feed and here is the interview on Facebook. A formerly active YouTube link has been removed.
