Freed Israeli hostage Mia Schem speaks about captivity • FRANCE 24 English 

In the full interview when she said "they are all terrorists" she was talking about all Gazan civilians.

"Raping me with his eyes" good grief I'd like to know who write her script, whoever it was should be drummed out of the writers guild.

"They are all terrorists" If you say something like this in Germany against a group of people you will see the jail from inside for inciting racial hatred!!!

She herself says she was not even touched by her captor

Why would you even talk about rape when it never happened to you??? What's the point???

So to summarise, they didn't touch her. They didn't torture her, threaten her, the worst thing they did to her was look at her wrongly? How is that comparable to the torture Palestinians go through in Isr. prisons? Even before Oct 7th?

Her story is as real as her lips😅

Poor girl the kidnappers must have done some form of permanent damage to her lips they look damaged, they are twice as big as before. It looks horrible.

prayers for her upper lip. It's horrible, whoever have done it, done it wrong

This is another testimony that Hamas don’t abuse their captives and that they at least shared whatever food that’s available for everyone. Remember Gaza has no food, water or electricity so what a humanity Palestinians had shown the world!

She is with her family.....and hundreds of families are eliminated from Gaza

Lucky she wasn't in the US-run Abu Ghraib prison, where horrific acts of sexual viloence have been recorded & even acknowledged by members of the American establishment.

The government of Israel wrote her text really well.

She is a big liar shame on you

I watched her full interview and I kept listening to her and waiting to hear about the 'awful' things that were done to her. Almost everything 'bad' about the people that she encountered sounded like her interpretation of things and says more about her psyche and her preconceived notions about them than anything else. Everything they did, no matter how banal or subtle, she kept twisting and interpreting as manipulative or dark. Sure she may have been teased by a kid with a bag of candy, I'll give her that, but again, everything she describes seems so small (if true) and like her own twist on the 'intentions' of people. When they called her to see her mom on TV, it helped her, and yet she says that they 'intended' to mess with her. It's her prejudice. Her mind's filters. She didn't provide any concrete behaviour of them really mistreating her. It just seems that she's so entitled and privileged and expects to feel no discomfort in such a situation. A captivity situation is inherently bad, scary and uncomfortable; it's not a vacation at the Ritz. And in theory, no one should go through it, yes. But the fact is, they could have actually ab*sed her in every possible way, because they had total control over her but they didn't (which I am glad they didn't of course, but this doesn't seem to change her racism and preconceived notions about them). And her accounts of supposedly 'sexual-ized' contact with them are so flimsy and appear more like what a self-obsessed, good-looking teenager says of every guy she meets. It's laughable how the music changed when she said one of them touched her upper body... drama build up.... and then it turns out he was checking her injury. Yes, believe women, but not all women. Some women lie. Some women misinterpret. Some women are racist. Also, some of the uncomfortable things she experienced were related to her country's drones (e.g. lack of windows etc., not an intention to ab*se her) and the lack of medical supplies and food that was inflicted on the entire population there by her government. Again her privilege, entitlement, lack of empathy and obliviousness shine through as she doesn't seem to think that there's anything wrong with partying a few miles away from a refugee population whose land she took and that had been starved for decades by her government. She's completely unaware that the only reason she found herself in that situation is because the people who committed those acts against her have thousands of their loved ones rotting in her country's prisons for decades and that the only way to get them out, thanks to her government and their record in the past, is the one that was used against her.

Very conflicting testimonies. I've watched Agam and her monther's interview on channel 12, a whole different narrative. This one looks scripted and edited to emphasize on words such as "terrorist" and "rape".

Went straight to the Botox depot. Priorities

At least she survived and still has a female to turn to. What about the tens of thousands of Palestinians who lost their entire families with amputated limbs and no one to look after them 😢

She was 45 days as hostes but no body touch her. Mark it then u will realise

We can disagree with her but we must respect her. She's traumatized and I'm very sorry for her. Of course she can't speak about all gazans, but only about the family of the terrorist who imprisoned her, in a dark room without talking to anyone. Actually, it's easy to guess that terrorists have families... And she cannot say they r6ped her with their eyes, or that they would have done it if there was'nt a family.. That was her nightmare, of course, but it did'nt happen... I hope she recovers as soon as possible......

If the translation is true, wow how her narrative has completely changed from being very well treated by the freedom fighters to this interview. 360° plot twist in the other direction. I wonder what has changed for her.

If they are monsters as she claims She will not be safe home at the moment !

It doesn't look that you are harm in any way ? It seems that they looked after you very well and treated you like a member of their family although you are supposed to be treated as hostage and tortured. I am sorry that they didn't do any modeling competitions there, but with this evil heart that you have you wouldn't have won anyway

[This is why he probably wouldn't rape me if we were alone] She let her wild imagination run wild when she said " probably " ! 🙂

She was held in a family home - maybe that was because the Palestinians hoped the Israelis wouldn't bomb a family home and kill her. She was watched by her captor - perhaps that's because she was in a family home, not a prison. Her food was restricted at times - but all food is restricted in Gaza because of the Israeli blockade. There is nothing in what she says about her treatment to suggest she was badly treated at all - all the mistreatment is in her mind!

Everyone ?? So including 5 year old children ?

"Everyone there is a terrorist"...while I can understand she is traumatised so you have to cut her some slack, it's that hate-filled thinking that has led to the problem that exists there.

They tortured her with Botox.

Initially once she released, she said that she was treated very well, now that he received $$$ her mind changed SHAME ON YOU

She botched her lips badly

This says more about her than her captures. She’s actually damaging the Israeli cause and risking her life and the life of the other hostages. Completely cringe.

They showed her mercy. She shouldn't act like this and called everyone a terrorist. What she is doing here will hurt other Jewish hostages. I didn't hear her thank God. Pretty ungrateful when I think about this.

She got treated better than Palestinian detainees

It's absolutely terrible what she had to go through. From the sound of her story, she was kidnapped not by Hamas/Al Qassam but one of the Palestinians that came after. The fact that he wore plain clothes and she thought he was Israeli confirmed this. That was probably why she was kept in a house as opposed to the Hamas tunnels. Also, she was NOT raped, or harmed by her captors once in Gaza. Contrary to what others might assume.

French Israeli Canadian Israeli German Israeli 😂 makes sense

People in the comments saying Mia is lying is just truly saddening. Imagen your daughter was shot, attacked, harassed by these men. How is this okay??!

Watching a hostage is not r*. If it is then all prisons should be dismantled. I hate it when people use that word lightly. If she was sleeping an hour a day and eating little she wouldn't be in the condition she's in today.

Took long enough to debrief and prep the victims on what to say and how to vilify facts.

Hmmm. Different story after Israeli govt. teach her how to talk in the mainstream media.

The most evil thing she experienced there was a kid wouldn’t share candy with her 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

She had more Botox on her release. A bad job imho. My daughter does Botox and refuses to give duck lips to stupid customers

But the IDF said Hamas does horrible things to their hostages. So is this girl lying or is IDF lying? Figure it out

After months of her release she has been trained well to act Infront of the camera😂

She complained about a little boy who left some candies there and not offered it to her.

Sham on her how she lie about rip

COME ON PEOPEL, she experienced nothing compared to Palestinian prisoners (adults & EVEN KIDS) who were in Israeli prisons BEFORE 7th of October or even after. Al least she had her injured hand with her, Palestinian prisoners If they retuned , they return with their internal organs mutilated and stolen , and this is considered as REAL TERROR. She didn't even experience a little of the little kid Hind Rajab's fear, nor experienced having her limbs torn apart or being eaten alive by rabid dogs. Sorry this is just pampering, and hostages like her were just a victim of their own government savage behaiviors.

Much healing for her, prayers for all hostages and their families!

she did say she wasnt raped... she wasnt also physically hurt ..and i am sure she would have mentioned it if she was handcuffed.. so it is true....she was treated well.... the hamas militant eyes were raping here is supose to be misstreatment ? i dont get it....and they clearly fed her less because they need to make sure she stays alive for the longest time possible... because netenyaho was not allowing food in... and the main reason she couldnt sleep was because of the bombing man xd...

She was lucky to get out.

really heartbreaking story of a life experience. I pray for you, Sis. May you be strong and blessed. Your life and all the victims and hostages will soon be released safely. Lord Jesus Bless 🙏🙏🙏

Absolute monsters in the comments attacking a kidnapping survivor.

Make a interview with the Palestinian prisoners (hostage)

I feel so sad for her. The surgery must have been so painful and so,scary to be watched all the time. However, I think she was a lot luckier than many other Israeli hostages and was kept in better conditions than others. Even so, it sounds horrendous.😢

Hope she can get some medical help to fix her lips. Must be terrible to have to go through life looking like that...

This is so sad. I wish all hostages well.

Mia, I prayed for you by name when you were in Gaza. I didn’t hear any news so am thrilled to hear your testimony of all you went through.

Fortunately, she returned to her family, but this girl is full of hatred and negative possibilities and assumptions.

She got paid so well for this interview 😂 ..

When she initially spoke with the media after being released, she said that she was treated well and hamas were very kind with her. Now, they somehow convinced her to change her statement.

How much did they give you to tell lies

now evil come back to your face as you were before the captivity

Should have stayed in eastern europe israhellii

Mia! why did you change your version of the facts?! Israel is offering big these days! Share with us how much Israel offered you? A book coming out these days 💰💰💰? A great reward like the one offered to a Palestinian RU-vidr💰💰? Tell us all 😁.

share the whole interview with subtitles in english pls!!!

She's desperate for attention; she thought this interview about her experience was an opportunity to share her imagination and fantasies.

Completely different statement to the one she gave before in which she says they were very well looked after. This one is obviously written for her.

Didn't I see her praising them in another interview, shortly after her release? I am confused!

Where can we see the full interview?

Somehow you know when someone is doing something for a paycheck.

Crazy how hamas let her attend her lip filler appointments

Wow how much did she got paid for this interview 💀

They fed her and gave her medical attention. If IDF had flooded the tunnels, she would have fled on her own rubber dinghy.

Why now? Why not since their release from captive? The waited until she is brainwashed before they allow her to be interviewed. Anyway, it is too late because majority of the former captives spoke about the generosity and kindness they received from their captors.

Why such a short interview. She got lucky, she might have caught infection on her lips, if she was kept in the tunnels.

I hope that the 129 hostages return safely. I'm glad you got home safely. I'm sorry you had to go through so much trauma.

Prayers to her and all the hostages!

Paid promotions

"I demand to speak with the hamas supervisor!!! I received lip surgery without analgesics."

Judging from the extreme lip surgery and overall vulgar attention seeking demeanour, she is milking her experience to get attention using the victim card. Even if that is opposite to what we have heard from other freed hostages.

It must have been so horrible to go without botox for that long 😂.

Living in possibility, could have happened would have happened, Scripted interview

All her brain is "potentially" in her upper lip. She fits the narrative perfectly. Good Job! @France 24 English

Mia I am so glad you are back with your family. We have to free the rest. I don’t understand why the human call, Cease Fire, Free the hostages! Isn’t an international movement? Hamas took an INFANT. It means the people who claim to care about innocent people getting hurt only mean their people, not everyone.

This is starkly at odds with the other released hostages who were thanking Hamas for hospitable treatment for the tenure of their captivity. why don't you give some of those people an interview?

“They are all good very good”

loool didn't sleep for 50 days looooooool i believe them

I don't mean to be mean ,but this made me laugh over and over

Am I surprised At All! Community ("normal" Gaza family with kids) Complicit in Acts of Terror. Almost everyone knew tthis possibility ALL ALONG, but bot allowed to give voice to it😢

"They're all terrorists"... but she was in a family home, wasn't touched and maybe her food was restricted a bit, probably because their food is restricted LOL.

is that a botox upper lip ?

Did they hit her lips?

The more she lies the more her lips swell...

How dare they not feed her like a queen! How dare they hide her away! Lucky for her the terrorist children and the terrorist wife protected her and kept the terrorist father and husband at bay

Lolz... She thinks too much of herself.... Not everyone is that interested in her..... She needs a reality check....

How can u sleep with them lips oh my god lie all lies IDF fighter

You can tell what she wanted her hostage taker to do

lol she dreaming

Sounds like she is lying to me!

Yall saying that ALL of the hostages were treated well becuse some of them were...do you not realise that, perhaps, not all terrorist are equally bad? That some random hostages were literally murdered while the ones with childern were treated "good"? They were in seperate homes and every story is different, obviously

I guess she's an actor. Imagine, if captivity doesn't make you humble, God bless your soul..
