Liri Albag, who survived Hamas captivity, posted a blistering response to Yuval Abraham, one of the creators of the pro-Palestinian film "No Other Land" that won a prize at the Venice Film Festival.

The documentary, which features what its makers claim are anonymous testimonies from former IDF soldiers and officers, accuses the Israeli military of deliberate and systematic killing of civilians.

"You know that even if you only served two weeks in the army and got discharged because of your political views, if you had fallen into Hamas captivity, as far as they're concerned you'd be a soldier anyway? That's how they would have tortured you, for being a soldier," Albag wrote in her response to the filmmaker.

She continued: "Do you understand that on October 7, if you had been in the Gaza border communities, not one of the terrorists would have stopped and said: 'Hey, leave him alone, he's okay, don't hurt him,' or would you have simply joined the 'struggle to liberate Palestine' and attacked your own people?"

"You sold out your people for people who yearn for your death, and for that there is no forgiveness," the hostage survivor concluded, adding: "How do people like this have citizenship here???? They should be launched on a missile out of our country."
