Debra Messing Instagram – I keep thinking about the 199 hostages. My friend @noatishby organized for a group of us to tape posters of all the hostages in Times Square. Looking at their faces, 6 year old, 83 year old it became so real. People walking by would stop and spend some time with them. My heart hurts for the families of these innocents- Muslim, Christian, Jewish -all. The most important thing is the rescue of these hostages. I am grateful that @POTUS’s trip has ensured that humanitarian aid will get to every person living Gaza by negotiating free passage from Egypt. It’s hard to process that Hamas refused to take care of the Palestinians. Blocking aid from getting to them, blocking them from leaving. They could have opened passage into Gaza immediately. They chose not too. It illustrates the lack of humanity within Hamas’ cell. Of course, the Oct 7th terror attack was the most barbaric, blood thirsty massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. I pray that they are defeated. The entire globe will be safer. Please pray for the hostages safe return and the defeat of Hamas. Pray for the physical safety of all the innocent Palestinians and Israelis who are suffering. Pray for peace everywhere. And a personal request that young, passionate, far left students leave the posters up. There are videos of these posters being ripped down. That does nothing but hurt the families who want us all to remember their loved ones, as they await news. Pray for peace. [we have since learned the grandmother in the poster I’m hanging is dead. As is her little granddaughter. May they rest in peace.] ##posters #hostages #israel
