Who are the hostages still held by Hamas?
On October 7, 2023, 253 Israelis and foreign nationals were kidnapped to Gaza by Hamas and gazan civilians. Since then, 105 were released in a prisioner exchange deal, 4 were released by Hamas and 3 were rescued.
However, 134 remain in captivity (4 of those were kidnapped prior to 2023). A recent investigation has concluded that more than a fifth of the hostages are dead and the fate of some other hostages remains unknown. This video explains how doctors determine which hostages are dead, based on the nature of their injury and by analyising footage and the victims' last phone calls. Additionally, during the operation in Gaza, the IDF has recovered the bodies of a few victims and returned to their families for burial.
Since I couldn't find this all in one place, I've compiled a list of: 1) hostages who are presumed alive; 2) hostaged whose death has been reported/confirmed; 3) hostages who were released or rescued. In the group of hostages presumed to be alive who haven't been released, the youngest is 1-year-old Kfir Bibas and the oldest hostage is Iraqi-born 85-year old Shlomo Mansour.
As we learn more information, I'll continue to update this post.
They need to come back home. I'm hoping for more successful rescue operations soon. Keep them in your thoughts.

There is a version of “Free Palestine” that is simply a call for Palestinian Independence—no more expansionist settlements, an end to sanctions & blockades, a renegotiation of borders between Israel & Palestine, international recognition of Palestine, water rights, unfettered access to energy & other utilities, freedom of movement, etc.—and I think this is what a lot of Anti-Zionists have in mind when they say it.
There is another version which imposes on Israel-Palestine a framework that characterizes any and all Jewish presence “from the river to the sea” as an occupation, and the entire region’s population of Jews as “settler-colonizers”. I think this is a very dangerous way of characterizing Jewish existence in the Levant, because if any and all Jews in the region are inherently “Zionist colonizers”, then any “decolonization” will de facto just be dejudification—the removal or death of Jewish people and Jewish culture. This would be, at best, an ethnic cleansing—at worst, a genocide.
“From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” is a slogan that really seems to presuppose the latter framework and makes little sense outside of it; thus, it’s hard to hear as anything other than a call to either ethnically cleanse or genocide Israeli Jews.
This is why many Jews are scared right now—even ones who are not Pro-Israel and who’ve been highly critical of Zionism for a very long time (hi that’s me). Because we are seeing our neighbors sign onto the goal of dejudification, and repeating slogans that call for the ethnic cleansing & genocide of our people.
And many Anti-Zionists will be quick to push back against this by saying “Well, no, we don’t hate all Jews, just Zionists”. The problem with that is that many of y’all are labeling all Israelis “Zionists”, any Jews outside of Israel who mourn their deaths “Zionists”, any Jews who point out antisemitism or make any criticism of anyone but Israel “Zionists”, any Jews who acknowledge that Jews are indigenous to the Levant or that pogroms were a huge motivating factor in Zionism “Zionists”; there are almost definitely going to be people reblogging or commenting on this post to call me a Zionist. Even if you just pare that down to only Israeli Jews, that’s about half of all Jews on the face of the planet you believe deserve to be ethnically cleansed.
“I don’t hate all Jews, just most of them” and “I hate 7 million+ Jews, but not for being Jewish, just for being part of a distinctly Jewish ideology” is not the progressive take you think it is. It is, in fact, just antisemitism.

Trustworthy readers who I’ve ordered from
*I was asked to write this post to help other people avoid scammers, so I’m going to provide a list of readers who I trust & would recommend to anyone*
(This is in no particular order of favoritism) - these are readers that have great communication, provide amazing readings & happily answer any questions
TAROT
1. @galene-gothic - I ordered a FS reading from her and she gave me the MOST in depth reading ever!!! The reading was so long & informational & I really enjoyed every minute of it. Truly one of my favorite readings I’ve received!
2. @the-wild-candy - I ordered a nsfw FS reading from her & omg the messages she was able to channel!!! I was giggling & kicking my feet reading it LOL - she has great communication which I really appreciated & kept me updated with the delivery of my reading!
3. @leoascendente - omg she sent me the most beautiful FS reading! Her delivery was very quick, but it was not rushed at all because she provided me a great deal of information & thoroughly explained every single topic - again, one of the best readings I’ve received!
4. @punkpandapatrixk - I love this woman 🤭 she was so sweet & helped me pick which questions to ask for my reading! We went back & forth & she patiently listened to what information I wanted to hear & made up questions based on that! I had a wonderful experience ordering from her & I received a lovely reading that I still reread to this day!!
5. @freyatarotreadings8 - she did such an amazing job explaining what each card meant in the context of my future spouse. I don’t read tarot myself, so I have very little knowledge on what they mean in different contexts, but she was so good at writing the explanations in a very understandable way for me.
6. @helianthus-tarot - I’ve gotten quite a few readings from Julian & I’ve loved every single one. They are always open to answering any questions you may have & does their best to answer them. They also have some of the best PACs I’ve ever read on their tumblr!
ASTROLOGY
1. @astroismypassion - I ordered a Juno persona chart from them & omg I loved it!! They do such an amazing job explaining the degrees, house placements, & signs. They are so full of information & also answer plenty of astrology related questions on their tumblr!
2. @cosmicpuzzle - he read my Vedic chart (I didn’t really know how to read it myself) & broke down my personality, best choices for my career, & my future spouse - he explained everything so well & he taught me so much! He does voice memos & it’s nice to just hear him freely explain everything he’s seeing in my chart.
3. @ariesjupiter - she read my astrocartography chart & it confirmed that I’m currently living in the right place for career success 🤭 she was so easy to communicate with & provided me with an excellent reading! It was very thorough & I frequently refer back to it!
