Freed Hamas hostage confronts UCLA student behind anti-Israel protests in excruciating exchange
A freed Hamas hostage left an anti-Israel university student protester visibly squirming as she bravely told him how she was beaten, lynched and abused by her terrorist captors, a powerful video of their encounter shows.
Moran Stella Yanai, who was among those snatched from the Nova Music Festival during last year’s Oct. 7 terror attack, was filmed calmly confronting UCLA student Aidan Doyle during a panel discussion earlier this year over the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Doyle, an apparent leader of UCLA’s anti-Israel tent encampment, refused to make eye contact with Yanai and could be seen shifting uncomfortably in his seat as she relayed the horrors of her harrowing ordeal.
“When I was entering Gaza and there is a video that I saw, 100% of civilians celebrating me being taken… All I saw was 100% of civilians lynching me, beating me up. I was with a broken leg. I had bruises all over my body,” Yanai was filmed saying in the viral clip, which exploded online after being posted by The Gr8 Debate Monday.
“Do you know that I’ve never cursed them? I’ve never argued with them. And I’ve never treated them like garbage. I respected them even when they abused me, because I believe that if I want to be respected, I have to respect everybody else.”
“So I’m asking you one thing and one thing only because I see you’re not comfortable. I’m asking you to check facts on both sides,” she added.
