“It was important to me to relay the truth about the nature of the people who live in Gaza.”
Former Hamas hostage Mia Schem, 21, a French-Israeli tattoo artist, said she “went through a holocaust” while held captive.
Israel is losing their best and their brightest, putting their young people in harm’s way to protect these terrorists. Madness.
“Everyone over there is a terrorist.”

Freed Israeli hostage Mia Schem ‘went through holocaust’ in Hamas captivity in Gaza: ‘Everyone over there is a terrorist’
By Yaron Steinbuch, NY Post, Dec. 28, 2023:
A 21-year-old Israeli-French tattoo artist who was abducted by Hamas has recalled the horrors that she faced in Gaza in her first interview, saying she “went through a holocaust” during her 54 days in captivity.
Mia Schem was asked in a preview clip of an interview with Channel 13 why she decided to open up about her experience at the hands of the terrorists.
“It was important to me to relay the truth about the nature of the people who live in Gaza, who they are truly are and what I experienced there,” the young woman tells journalist Lior Veroslavski in the clip released Thursday.
ADVERTISEMENTVeroslavski replies, “It was important to you that the world understands what?”
“That I went through a holocaust,” the former hostage says, matter-of-factly. “Everyone over there is a terrorist.”
Schem adds that after being kidnapped from a musical festival in southern Israel on Oct. 7, she was held by a civilian family in Gaza that was involved with the terror group.
