From Fox News: Several prominent pro-Israel social media accounts have accused “60 Minutes” host Lesley Stahl of being sympathetic to Hamas terrorists following a Sunday night interview she conducted with a hostage recently released by the militant group.
Stahl asked Hamas hostage Keith Siegel whether his captors starved him on purpose or whether they didn’t have enough food to give him.
During the CBS News program, she spoke to several hostages who had recently been freed from the terror group’s clutches and returned to their families. Stahl spoke to Siegel, along with Tal Shalom, and Yarden Bibas — the man whose wife and two young children were murdered while in captivity — learning details about their horrific experiences living in Hamas-controlled tunnels in Gaza.
While Siegel discussed how his captors treated him, he stated that after his wife, Aviva, was released from captivity, Hamas became “very mean and very cruel and violent.”
“They were beating me and starving me,” Siegel said. Stahl followed by asking, “Do you think they starved you because or they just didn’t have food?”
Siegel denied that his torturers didn’t have enough food, recounting, “No, I think they starved me, and they would often eat in front of me and not offer me food.”
Stahl is being slammed for appearing to excuse the Hamas terrorists, promoting the idea they just didn’t have enough food.
Radio host Ari Hoffman declared, “Lesley Stahl & @60Minutes should be ashamed of themselves. Throughout the interviews with the released hostages, Stahl used Hamas data & talking points.
“After American-Israeli Keith Segal told her he was forced to watch torture & sexual assault & that he was starved, she asked if the Palestinian terrorists meant to starve him or didn’t have enough food, parroting the false narrative about “starving Palestinians.” She should ask the Nazis if they meant to starve the Jews in the Holocaust or didn’t have enough aid.”

Lesley Stahl looked a Jewish hostage in the face—after being starved, tortured, beaten, and dragged through hell—and asked if maybe Hamas didn’t mean to starve him.
Maybe they just didn’t have food.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Shame on 60 Minutes. Shame on CBS. And shame on… pic.twitter.com/W6C5MBLIPO

I can’t believe my eyes. Lesley Stahl had the audacity to ask a Jewish hostage, who was tortured and starved by Hamas, if Hamas really meant to starve him or if they just didn’t have enough food.
Is this a joke? How the hell can she even ask him that?pic.twitter.com/utofSTtbk8

While interviewing Yarden Bibas, Stahl asked him, “If you could say something to President Trump, what would you say?”
Right to her face, he said, “I am here because of Trump — I am here only because of him.”
