Jewish families claim responsibility for glowing images of Israeli children and grandparents held hostage by Hamas on side of UN headquarters in New York: ‘Bring back our families!’
A group of Israeli-Americans had the audacity to project images of Hamas kidnapping victims onto the United Nations building in New York.
On Thursday, a giant unsolicited display appeared on the downtown building condemning the terror attack in Israel and flashing photos of those taken hostage.
‘Hamas kidnapped babies, children, the elderly. These are real people with names and families,’ Or Waknin, the leader of the group, told the New York Post.
“And when they see the pictures of them on the UN building, people look at it, and it starts to hit them, and they realize it could have been their grandmother and their children and someone from their families.”
It is still unknown exactly how many people are missing or held hostage by terrorists in Gaza. More than 150 were taken, on Thursday Israel confirmed the identity of 97 hostages.

A group of Israeli-Americans displayed photos of missing nine-month-old Kfir and four-year-old Ariel Bibas on the United Nations building.
“The atrocities that are happening in Israel are worse than what the Nazis did to Jews,” Waknin said.
‘We are talking about raping women and tying children in cages and beheading babies. These are things that are inhuman. Nothing could be more cruel than that.’
The projection said: ‘All nations are united. Kidnapping Israeli civilians is a crime against humanity. Bring them home now!’
Followed by photos of people who went missing, including four-year-old Ariel and nine-month-old Kfir Bibas.

“There’s a lot of misinformation justifying what happened,” Waknin said.
“I’ve heard many people on TV networks argue that the cruelty that Hamas inflicts on babies, children and the elderly is Israel’s fault.”
The organizers said they only use images of victims whose families have given them permission to do so.
