In the film, Agam is among the Israelis who recount what it was like to live through the Oct. 7 attacks, the deadliest day for Jews since World War II, with around 1,200 people killed and 251 taken hostage. And in Gaza, where more than 40,000 people have reportedly been killed in Israel’s retaliation against Hamas, Palestinians describe — and record — the large-scale devastation.
Through these individual stories, “A Year of War: Israelis and Palestinians,” offers a devastating portrait of the conflict as a whole, and a profound look inside a cycle of violence and tragedy with no end in sight.

After reset lol story has changed….world knows the truth tho 😂
PBS doesn't allow comments anymore on its news channel? I wonder what vote they took from their donors, who I regularly donate to this publicly funded organization to stop US citizens and donors from having any opinion on publicly funded stories. Wow, I won't be giving anyone money. This is sad.
Cute settler.
Wow!! Watch her first interview with her mother compared to this one, it’s like two different people. Unbelievable. 😳
The Sith have gotten to her. She is now fully back on the dark side of The Force 🤦â€â™€ï¸
Funny how her statement and expressions change from her 1st interview to now! Governmental and societal pressure.
ðŸ˜Full of lies
This interview is way way different than the first interview with her from December 2023 from channel 12 in Israel. I have posted the link as a reply to this comment.
It is evident that she is being forced to say what she is saying in this interview…Only Allah knows what have they threatened her with..😢
Absolutely Disgusting how statements change. The last interview she did with her mother she's praising them saying they see women as queens gave her a cute nickname, and now look.
I guess lying is I their blood.It's embarrassing how shamelessly they do it thinking the whole world wouldn't see
She has completely changed her statement after a year. Seems she has been coached by the Israeli Hasbara propaganda to tow the line or else…
It's lie
She still couldn't say that Hamas was bad. These Israeli hostages always say about feelings. They were not really tortured or terrorized, they only imagined being tortured or being raped. And the dangers and terror were from Israel. Bombing, starving, shooting, medical supplies and electricity cut off… And IDF did shoot Israeli hostages 😂 shouting "Help" in Hebrew with white flags.
What a hilarious transformation! where's your mom QUEEN Selsebil?
We have another case of Hasbara at it's finest. What happened to the arm wrestling?
Its been called Israel for THOUSANDS of years now in ancient muslim books, artifacts , even stone in Egypt..how is Israel occupying the Palestinians land when its been called Israel thousands of years now in stone and in holy bible
interesting, wasnt she saying she was treated well in the first interview? why do i even donate to you motherfuckers…
Incredible how she changed her statement. They treated her very well per her testimony and now she's saying whatever the IDF is making her say.
Mere zio-nist propaganda, full of lies as usual
What a change of statement from her first interview and this.
now talk to the Palestinian prisoners of Israel
I watched her full interview before her brain washed when she first got released last year and she was happy how they treated her and her mom🤔🤔🤔
pray for world central kitchen workers 😢
i dont think its a deal they want. i think it is an end to war. fuck you for not reporting this like real humans.
I still have the video of her and her mother laughing sharing their experience as Hamas captives where they were treated very well. Stating that women are treated like queens in their captors beliefs. How the captors used towel to wrap their hand while arm wrestled them because in their belief they are forbidden to touch women?
Where is the original interview of her and her mother where they both speak & laugh of being well treated and playing games with Hamas. That Hamas treat women like queens? She got such backlash by Israelis and hate messages that she has now done subsequent interviews whereby it’s clear she has been coached her on what to say!
In other news Israel is holding an American journalist hostage.
Why is the video so dark?
Why don't you also sit with a Palestinian hostage taken by Israel – which happens almost everyday and you never cover?
The conspiracy theorists were right. Look who owns the media
How much did your criminal fruends paid you toÊ» lie…?
Why complete documentary has been made unavailable?
what a difference between now and her first intervew where she said they wouldn't even touch because it was forbidden in islam. it reminds me of emmit till
A lotta fools involved with arabs' abrahamic cults, cultists and wars.
That's what you get for abandoning your ancient paga beliefs, and what your ancestors believed in.
What goes around comes around.
Agam, let me connect with you too: what would you do if f.e. Palestinian people would colonize your town and keep occupying it that you lose your home? How would you feel if a nation keeps terrorizing your country while the whole world is just standing there and watching and even keeps supporting them with millions of dollars for weapons? What would you do if a nation bombs hospitals, houses and innocent israelian people? What would you do if you would become a refugee because your home was bombed by a nation and you just lost EVERYTHING?Â
Yes, you will seek vengeance and become part of a resistant group. These days, that’s called terrorism.
Very sad one horrific experience for this young lady. 😪
God I’m sorry if this is inappropriate but she is so gorgeous! I’m sorry she had to go through this nightmare.
Palestinians don't have to imagine Israeli soldiers coming into their houses and kidnapping them to prison – just listen to the veterans in Breaking the Silence group who tell of random night raids in the West Bank and Gaza (before 2006) to terrorize Palestinians. I'm sorry that the Israeli govt lied to this girl and told her they'd keep her safe by dehumanizing, displacing and oppressing millions of her neighbors for 75 years. The chickens always come home to roost.
We need to stop the governments from making us kill each other,We the people are not at war it's our governments.
