Ep 3: Saying Their Names: Why the Hostages Matter with Tzachi and Alexis

from The Actual · host Lissy Abrahams

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses the Middle East conflict, including war, violence, and humanitarian issues, which may be distressing to some listeners. In this episode, my guests, Tzachi and Alexis, speak from the heart of a humanitarian crisis that began on October 7, 2023, which continues to reverberate across borders in the Middle East. Reading the names of the remaining hostages and tireless community work, they’ve helped keep the stories of the missing alive. Each hostage held in captivity in Gaza is a person, with a unique world, a family, friends and a future. We discuss how the wait for their return is unbearable, and the belief that until all hostages are home, there can be no true peace, not for Israelis, not for Palestinians, nor for any of us.
