At 6 A.M. on October 7, Moran Stella Yanai saw rockets rain down from the sky into southern Israel, where she was attending the now-infamous Nova music festival. Like other Nova attendees, when Yanai realized that terrorists had invaded Israel, she ran and tried to escape via car. When she contacted Israeli police, they told her to get off the road, where Hamas terrorists were slaughtering anyone who dared to flee.
Yanai ran into a field where she was eventually captured by terrorists who filmed her kidnapping. Yanai’s parents discovered that their daughter had been taken hostage by that video. Thirteen Hamas members then dragged Yanai into a car and drove her across the Gazan border, where she remained for 54 days until she was freed in November’s hostage deal.
She promised other hostages in captivity that she would do “everything” within her power to bring them home. One of the ways she’s done so has been by sharing her story here in the United States with skeptics, government officials, and friends of Israel. At 40, Yanai is a poised, powerful, well-spoken individual who, months ago, sat down to debate Aidan Doyle, one of the University of California-Los Angeles students responsible for leading the university’s anti-Israel encampment, on the merits of Israel’s war in Gaza. The second part of the debate was released this week and has since gone viral — mainly because, even when speaking with the former hostage, Doyle refused to shed his pro-terrorist outlook.
Doyle is not a foreign policy expert, nor has he ever been to Israel or Gaza, but he is a mustached young progressive whose social-media feed went viral when the UCLA anti-Israel encampment sprung up, which has made him somewhat of an online hero among radicals. The philosophy student posted a series of videos after police arrested multiple encampment-occupiers for trespassing and vandalism, bemoaning the police’s cruel use of force.
