'I touched death so many times in Gaza': Released hostage Aviva Siegel on 'screaming' for a cease-fire deal

JL;DR SUMMARY Aviva Siegel, who was held hostage by Hamas, speaks about her traumatic experience and the ongoing struggle to secure the release of remaining hostages, including campaigning with world leaders for their freedom.

  • This Lebowski, he called himself the Dude.
  • Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from.
  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
