Highlights include: having been well fed while Hamas fighters skipped meals and could not eat, seeing/hearing the struggle of the Palestinian people and their families and feeling deep sympathy, and being baked a birthday cake on their birthday which is now being reported as a “cynical gesture.” As we all know, it is very easy to acquire the ingredients to bake a cake in Gaza right now and there is plenty of time to spend baking it just so you can dunk on somebody. Israel’s barbarity knows no end. It will simply not allow Palestinians to be portrayed as human beings who have emotions, human connection, and empathy for even a moment.
The article has since be republished here with an entirely new narrative and pieces of testimony removed
Here’s the broken link https://www.timesofisrael.com/rescued-hostages-suffering-from-malnutrition-possibly-stockholm-syndrome/amp/

based on the date in the URL though, that would be an archive from today and presumably after the changes
The last change I almost couldn’t notice, a spelling fix:
resuce
->rescue
.Huh. Then maybe the version I read was posted to a different or unarchived link. I don’t recall anything about the “cynical gesture” section
Or there were multiple edits? I sure don’t know.
That’s a possibility, considering it was edited multiple times before being removed entirely
Yeah the older article was different and didn’t mention the cake being a cynical gesture
