His story broke my heart when he thought his daughter was dead. I'm thankful to God she was returned alive.
Prayers for Israel & freedom of hostages. So thankful Emily is safe home with her Dad. May he also be totally healed of the grief of losing his beloved wife
Frr,people be saying “Islam and muslims are peaceful”
They also say “Israel does worse stuff than hamas does” 💀
@@Rip_namiobviously Islam and Muslims are NOT peaceful. Pretty stupid to say that they are as one watches this little girl and try to imagine the terrible trauma she has gone through. Israel has never done anything like Hamas did!
Israel, we the intellectual in Europe stand with you.
There is a interview 5 months ago with this father. At the time he thought his daughter had been killed in Gaza.Miracles do happen, praise to God.
She's such a cute kid. May God protect her for the rest of her life. What a precious little soul.
I remember Thomas saying that shortly after she got back, Emily told him that she thought she had been away for nearly a year. That was how long it felt to her, and children don't have the same concept of time that adults do anyway. How can a child process or ever fully recover from something like that? One thing I'm thankful about is that at least nobody physically hurt her - other than not giving her enough food - and that she was there with people who cared about her and looked after her. The thought of a child going through something like that alone is unimaginable.
She kept mentioning being in a "box"

@@toeachitsown2050As mentioned in the interview, she has a lot of code words.. ..this might be one..?
@@karenturner8739I saw in another interview she won’t say Gaza she calls it the box
So glad this girl made home safe. Such a beautiful baby girl. Hope she recovers very well. Dad, stay strong. God bless you and your family. Support from USA 🇺🇸!
Me too !!!
The sensitivity and insight of this father is astounding
We tend to forget the terrible toll on the families of the hostages, so well expressed by this dear man. Thank God his little one is home and he is so wise in allowing her to slowly find her way back to feeling secure and happy again. May God bless you both❤️🙏🏼
forget? Do we really? We're forcefully reminded of their 'plight' every day. What is forgotten is that 30,000 Palestinians have been slaughtered by Israel to punish them for what "terrorists" did. That's the thing we "tend to forget".
@@ZelenskyTheMadClownis Hamas not a terrorist organization? Wow, that's something new
They are all terrorists
@@Anastasiya_Metzger Maybe English isn't your first language. Get Google translate to help you.
@@Anastasiya_MetzgerBTW, are you a mother?
You found your little daughter Emily who has grown up a lot since then. You are a loving father. Courage to your little family.
this conflict will end when Israeli "settlers" start loving their children more than they love their occupation.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "HE FOUND HER" SHE WAS KIDNAPPED BY HAMAS INTO GAZA SHE WAS RELEASED IN A NEGOTIATION WE RELEASED RABID DANGEROUS TERRORISTS TO GET EMILY OUT!!!!!!
YOU ARE OUT OF ORDER SAYING HE FOUND HER!!!SHE WAS STOLEN BY TERRORISTS
@@hilarymeyerov2934 Hilary, your comment all in capitals means you are yelling And the word ”FOUND" DOES HAVE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS . example: I "found" it very disturbing to read the comment because it revealed such unwarranted anger over a mere word.
I'm sorry 😐 you are so upset; please 🥺 do address the underlying causes of this anger 🤬 SO that you can become the truly beautiful (inside &out) creation G-D made you to be. I ask Elohim to ease your pain &replace it with comfort, surefootedness, joy & gratitude. These things I ask the Ancient of Days in the Almighty Name of YESHUA (Jesus) Our Messiah!
Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦❤️🙏
@oldbottleofiodine8171 Piss off who the hell do you think k you are ???I live in tel aviv we are living in A WAR SO BUTT OUT
I attended one of the marches in London when Tom Hand spoke to the crowd. I've never seen a man so broken. My relief when his daughter came home was palpable. Thank God for small mercies.
Yes thank God. The evil horrors of hamas never end!!
you never saw a man so broken??
this man has issues... i dont know what they are??
hormonal, depression, drugs, drink, debt...i honestly dont know...
but he cries very quickly for anything, and thats why he is used to promote propaganda for the isra *li cause in this mess
Not really a “small” miracle to get your child back from hell after 5 months! But handling it very wisely it seems!
isn't this the same 'loving father' that said that he was glad she was dead before he found out that she had been taken hostage?
@@serenitywintirs2773 ...yes... but he's an emotional, mentaly unbalanced, hormone messed up mess..
not because of this incident but before already
they use him because he easily cries ( for whatever reasons) and it promotes their cause.
Poor precious little girl. What a brave darling she is. May Yah put His Mighty angels around all the hostages and their families. Heartbreaking
Thank you, Thomas, for sharing your story. Your pain is our pain, and we pray every day for everyone affected, their families and the community.
Palestinian children's pain. Your pain also?
@@user-bl1ji7io6u Meaningless response. A tell-tale sign that you have no logical defense.
You are totally illogical @@ZelenskyTheMadClown
@KathyPendergast-cu5ci Clearly Thomas is still traumatized by the experience he and Emily went through. What a lovely Dad!. Imo the interviewer asked some pretty dumb questions, also kept grinning at some inappropriate times considering she was covering such a painful topic for both father and daughter.
@@ZelenskyTheMadClownbetter ask Hamas. They certainly do not share their pain. If, they would immedeatly quite their insane war they *started* Before you say "but and the context entitlement. People build fenches when the neighbours treathen to butcher them. Just logic. Common sense. Children in Gaza blow up, they do not grow up.
Beautiful child and a marvelous father . May they recover and succeed at whatever she does all her life.

They have or they did have, thousands of beautiful children and marvelous parents to the 10,000 dead children in Gaza.
OMGOSH, this is so sad and terrible. It just brings tears and I cant even imagine what this poor child suffered through. . . I'm thankful she got to return home.
I'm an American Christian,and my heart,my prayers are with you.
Incredible man! Sweet child!
Happy to hear she recovers pretty well!
Don’t be fooled.
She has buried _much._
She _needs deep mental health treatment._ I hope she gets it, as the horror of what she’s experienced, rises to the surface.
They should have a safe place w/a mental health expert, where the released kids can openly share as they need & are able to, w/each other.
Much healing needs to happen for them all.
She is probably protecting her dad & fam from further trauma by acting better than she is. And/or has suppressed sooo much, she is unable to face her reality the past weeks she was held captive.
It will bubble up, however. Either in a need to finally talk about it, or in different behavioral issues as she gets older.
I hope & pray she gets the much needed mental health care, ASAP.
She has to also deal w/the loss of her mother, which she is also suppressing.
I can’t begin to imagine...🙏
I agree! I meant pretty well in a complete relative way. it is obvious the trauma is there and can go out in any time...
Hope as well that she will get mental help and support!
@@sonneversets3530
@@sonneversets3530 They are speaking up and she will always have these videos of her dad doing the best he can in helping her through the horrible ordeal she and also her siblings faced.
October 7th is still traumatizing to those who were present and "survived" and those from a distance who watched.
The hate around the world against the Jewish community is also traumatizing.
The ignorance towards the Jewish community is illogical, bizarre, and disturbing.
We all hope his daughter will heal and heal as much as possible...trauma sucks...but unlike kids who are raised in abusive families...she has the love, support, and presence of her dad ... and that is a great gift to her and her recovery.
She is now part of an entire nation that is going through the horrific trauma of October 7th...they will survive because they are all together.
Such a resilient child. This story brings tears to my eyes, despite the happiness of her coming home. Its unspeakable what has been done to these innocent people. I pray all these families might have the relief of their loved ones coming home safe. God bless you all.
Look up Within Heaven's Gates by Rebecca Springer. Page 64 😇
Resilience is only partial. Some aspects of her trauma will not come to the surface until she's older when her mind allows it. This child needs to reconnect with her childhood before the kidnapping so that part of her isn't frozen in time, so she can restore her sense of autonomy and value and self- reliance and fully heal.
We love you and wish you well. May God keep you safe and heal Emily and her loving father.
Seems like a wonderful, supportive father. I hope they recover well and are safe & happy moving forward.
What a precious little girl. I am so glad she is safe and reunited with her loving father. ❤️ BH.
Thousands of the children of Gaza are not so lucky. Those children too are precious, all children of God's creation.
so maybe hamas can let them go and stop use them as human shields. and stop teaching them main kampf in school @@justinemukhopadia6022
@@justinemukhopadia6022 So ask their parents why they decided Hamas would be their government and why they kept quiet when the tunnels were dug.
You need to study some recent history about what has happened since 1948 and see how complicit Israel, was in creating the Hamas as it is now. Hamas started like a local government to run Gaza. The tunnels were built to get food into Gaza and other essential items for hygiene and health, especially for women. Of course goats and sheep. You probably don't even know Israel has sheets of paper with a table showing what food could go in to keep all on a minimum calorie diet, it can be found if you look. Israel fostered Hamas in order to ensure there was never any agreement between The West Bank and Gaza, a " divide and rule" policy. Just check the behavior of the government, look at the facts and you will see the government of Israel is so consumed with hate there is nothing they won't do to grab power. Read what people write, not of course the Israeli propaganda that will just take you down the rabbit hole. All the true facts are out there to dispel Israeli lies, and there will be more to come given time @@d.tr6176
yes, they truly are in bondage and are being taught hatred and are being raised to be vile and wicked......this is the true tragedy @@justinemukhopadia6022
As a survivor of childhood trauma I can tell you Emily will never be the same. She will be checking locks, doors, closets, under beds, behind shower curtains.
Be aware, this is a life journey.
And the same happened to Palestinian and Gaza's childrens.

She's so cute and precious. So glad she made it back home safely. I hope she continues to heal and bear witness along with her dear abba.
I hope she gets the mental health treatment she desperately needs.
Not continue to be exposed like she is.
Def not good for her. SMH
Glad to hear Thomas feels it's therapeutic to speak about the family's ordeal. His relationship with his daughter is something a lot of fathers would envy. He is a solid character.
I remember him wishing that she was dead because of fear of what they would do to her.
There can be hope & this has thought me a lesson.
Well said
Miracles happen

What they would do to her , nothing.they take care of her .
@@sawsanyasen2063 "They" didn't take care of her, they ripped her from her home, killed people. Clearly in the video he shares who took care of her, another hostage did, not those barbarians.

Such a relief she is healing at “home” with you. She needs to learn to pray to find peace. My heart is broken for the ones left. Prayers from Mississippi, USA
What about what happened to children in Gaza .or the women in the Zionest prisons.
Ask hamas they started the war and when they loose they pool the victime card
@@sawsanyasen2063certaines femmes se ventent de vouloir sacrifier leur enfant au combat et sont prêtes à le livrer au " martyr" . J'ai mis des guillemets, car bien sûr, en aucun cas il ne s'agit d'un martyr mais d'un suicide. Nous pouvons voir des images terribles d'enfants soldats avec des armes à l'entraînement.

@@sawsanyasen2063 what does it have to do with this video?? What's happening to the kids in Gaza is sad but it's Hamas's fault. And what about the women in prison? Those women are monsters who commited or try to commit terror attacks and kill people. They're not in prison for no reason 🤦♂️
@@sawsanyasen2063what’s happening to them is a direct result of what’s happened to this little girl. Release the hostages!!!! And recognize Islam as the evil demonic ideology that it is.
What a beautiful child. So happy Emily has been rescued. Finally with her loving dad.
What happened is too much. I pray that the whole family find happiness after all the suffering. Bless them all.
well she is still alive so there's that. that is more than the 12 THOUSAND Palestinian children get
@@serenitywintirs2773 yes true 💯
So sad. Hamas celebrate death just as their enemies celebrate life😢@@serenitywintirs2773
Keep speaking out. The world needs to hear Emily's and your family's story.
Maybe one day, we’ll hear Emily’s.
Hope she gets the mental health treatment she desperately needs.🙏
Lots of Palestinian women and children have been held hostage without any crime in Israel and Cyprus prisons for many many years
@@ClubOreo Where do you get that information."
Too bad the 30,000+ children murdered by the IDF can’t speak.
Back in 87 when Palestinians kidnapped an IDF soldier they asked for the release of 1,000 Palestinian prisoners
Just the women and juveniles
That was over 30 years ago.
Your tears after all these interviews breaks my heart once again. Abba bless you all as you unravel from this horror.
The most touching for me is that all of the released hostages remain strong during the interviews until they start talking about the others left behind in captivity. That is the moment when they break down and cry.
Emily has been a brave girl. My heartfelt sympathy with the family. Mr. Thomas had a logical conclusion.
She looks MUCH better than when she was first rescued. This is wonderful! I was worried for her. Her stare was so distant.
Agree with you - I thought the same.
Don’t be fooled.
She has buried much.
She needs deep mental health treatment. I hope she gets it, as the horror of what she’s experienced, rises to the surface.

@@sonneversets3530 I know. I'm just pleased to see the progress.
Initially she was disassociating which is a natural automatic self-protective thing the mind does. She will likely still have moments of disassociating for a long time when any trigger or stress arises due to the habit her mind learned in order to survive.
God Bless beautiful little Emily and may her future be filled with people who love her as much as her devoted, brave Dad. ❤️
May her future be filled with many more reality checks about what happens when you play on land that your father stole from their rightful owners.

What a Wonderfully loving Father.
God Bless you Sir and your Daughter.
I feel your pain and i cry for you… 💔
yeah he also said that he was glad that she was dead
thank god Hamas didnt r/p her. her father was hoping her is dead when Hamas took her. too bad the news still running with the r/p story
I find it moving how insightful Emily’s father is into his daughter’s needs. What a fabulous psychiatrist he might have been, with his big heart. God bless them.
Absolutely 💯 💗
isn't he the same father that said that he was glad that she was dead
...he says he was fine with her being possibly bombed to death in Gaza as long as the IDF 'finishes the job' of destroying Hamas. He literally hates Hamas more than he loves his daughter
@@serenitywintirs2773 How many times are you going to copy and paste the same ignorant question after you have had your own ignorance thrown back into your mouth?
I always care deeply for this Father. His little doll is his life!!! Having her returned to him is heartwarming & traumatizing all at the same time. I can understand why he’s taken this stance. I don’t blame him!!
I was so happy that this little girl came back alive to her father. I remember his despair when she was imprisoned in Gaza, and his pain was terrible to see. I wish that all the hostages would come back safely.
My heartfelt love goes out to this dear man and Emily who have been through such cruel terror and trauma ,and to all of the remai ing hostages and their waiting and hoping relatives and friends . I do worry thought that interviewing Emily and her dad ,it must upset her when he says certain things, such as the guilt he feels at other hostages still held captive anf that the family is broken , incase she feels she has to put on a brave face for her dad during the interview . She's very young and has seen the war from a very different viewpoint to his and knows exactly what it was like .She may feel protective of her dad and has to pretend sometimes so as notto upset him in such interviews .It'a a difficult situation for a child to be in. I pray that she will recover a more in time , but I don't think it will ever be completely erased from her mind ,or any of the other hostages and their families . Every time I see Emily and her dad , i just want to hug them .🤍
She only speacks hebrew.
@@loesvanes1019 Thank you for the info , that has eased my mind. She's so sweet .🙂
I agree with everything Thomas has said. Strength in all you have said. Shalom, Amen.
I really feel for her and for all of the hostages. That must all have PTSD, which is what I have from living through a lot of different types of abuse for prolonged periods of time, but I can’t even imagine the horrors they’ve lived through. Emily, you and all the hostages who were with you ate in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers. 🙏🙏🙏
We are praying for the total healing of that precious girl and we salute the bravery of her father Thomas, GOD bless you both.
God bless you. Im so happy she is home.💜🇮🇱👍

My best friend was in Israel right before the attack. He left just a week or two before. I am grateful every day! I pray for the hostages every day. As someone who has lost, I understand the grief the families go through on a feeling level. When you don't know if a lived one is alive or dead you can go into grief easily. Grief takes over your body, like a hibernation. It can't be stopped, only worked through. I hope all their loved ones return.
So glad she has been returned and is now safe! Praying for all of the other hostages that they will be returned safely.
Wishing you both much strength and love from all Jews everywhere.

Yes. It's a story that brings hope for land thieves who use their children as human shields as part of an occupying force.
Guessing...white south african, right?
@@ZelenskyTheMadClownit’s thanks to people like you the world is in such turmoil. Can actually feel the poison in your comment.
As a survivor of childhood trauma, I know how hard it can be as a Christian woman. However, I take comfort in the fact that God never leaves or forsakes us. I experienced sexual abuse and psychological manipulation, which has led me to be hyper-vigilant and always check doors and shower curtains. But, as Emily grows up, I believe she will have an advantage because Emily will have a quiet voice within her that most people don't pay attention to. This voice will help her recognize evil and give her a warning. In my life, this has happened a few times, but unfortunately, some people don't listen. However, I know that Emily's dad will always believe her, and her small safe voice will be a gift to those who need it. She will be able to give great advice and warn her friends family members and anyone who is having trouble with certain people who have bad intentions, like pedophiles , and scammers. Her instinct will be spot-on, and she will be able to tell if someone is not to be trusted. I believe that her quiet voice is the Holy Spirit, and it will guide her to help others.
If she is worrying about having a shower, if the door is locked, etc-she has PTSD (this is called hypervigilance). She has stopped having dreams-this is a sign of severe depression and shock-I have been through all of this. If he has to be everywhere she goes it will not just "go away in time"-she is practically asking for help. PLEASE get her help, I am just crushed. :(
Oh my G’d. That poor, pure innocent child. May The Almighty grant her total healing. And you too Thomas. Thanks for sharing. When I think of the futile finicky things that irritate me during my day, it’s people like you Thomas that helps me put perspective back. Can’t imagine what you go through. I want to say more. But words fail me.
An absolute miracle. Thank you for speaking up. Cannot imagine how difficult it is. Bring them home now!
Thank you, Thomas for sharing your story. My heart goes out to you and your family. God bless ❤
This breaks my heart!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Glad we can now hear her speak . What a brave little girl. Daddy you have to support her now with love and joy.
I can't imagine how horrible it must have been for the 9 year old Emily's father to think that Emily might have been killed during Hamas' October 7 attack! And how horrible it must have been for Emily also to have had the same thought about her father!
So glad that beautiful Emily made home safe, and hopefully the other hostages also to make home safe soon ♥♥
Blessings to Emily and to her family. Light and blessings...stay strong.
Emily has such a sweet little smile, in her smile she's saying to Hamas "You Won't Break Me" "I Won't Let You Destroy My Life".
THIS! Am Israel Chai!
No she feels awkward in front of the camera. Lol

Look at the pictures of the faces of the children of Gaza, many dead, many wounded, many frightened having been pulled out from under a bombed home, parents and siblings dead.

A little girl was kidnapped by monsters. I can see the same monsters supporting them And what they did from the Times Square
It’s a shame for the authorities to aloud it, by the way, the same people were celebrating at 9-11. I wish for the brave family the father the the girl good body and metal health.
She looks great and seems perfectly fine. The children that are actually traumatized are the children of Gaza who fear bombs being dropped on them 24-7 while they slowly starve to death. Thousands of children in Gaza have already been murdered by Israel. Israelis have selective sympathy.
@@kittanz3033 I wonder, if the tables were turned, if Gazans would feel sympathy for Israeli children?
Totally Agree with you, Drew. Now, we Have to separate the Good from the evil ones in society everywhere. We have to cut off relationships with these antisemite worms and keep an eye on them for Violence by them. The US.🇺🇸 has to deport all Antisemite from the country.

HAMAS & IRAN their supporters are totally to BLAME for EVERYTHING BAD Happening since Oct.7th. They are GUILTY of all the TRAGEDY going on. Take Israel out of that guilt, WE ARE THE sheer VICTIMS. Hamas STARTED that HELL !!!!!!!!! Shut up !!!!!!!
Never . We did not hear even one evidence from all hostages that got back of even one person who was kind or sympathizing. Barberians. Poeple in the west just dont get it . Until this evil will knock on their doors they are in deep denial. Wake the fu*k up !!

What a precious little girl. May all the remaining hostages be safely returned to their families. 🙏🇮🇱
Beautiful little girl. 🙏 for her healing.🙏🙏🇮🇱🇬🇧
Thank you for sharing an update on Emily. I think her dad is a great example of courage and strength, coupled with sensitivity. Very wise words! And words I remember him also saying while Emily was still in captivity.
Praying for continued healing for Emily, her dad and other loved ones, all the hostages and their families, praying for the return of the remaining hostages, and for Israel to be able to establish peace and security for all their people.
You are all always in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🇮🇱♥️
This is a very powerful story, with a very powerful message! Thank you for showing this!!! So many blessings to these hostages and their families. I too stand with Israel and also praying for you all 🕊️🌈💜 Brisbane Australia 🦘🇦🇺💜🇮🇱🇦🇺💜🇦🇺🇮🇱💜
Dearest Hind Rajab, my heart, my thoughts, my prayers and my sympathy are multiplied to you a thousand times. You didn't deserve to have your last minutes of life spent in terror as the tanks surrounded you, shot your family in front of you and then destroyed your rescuers who were but minutes away and then cruelly, brutally and heartlessly took your little life from this world. Your voice asking for help in the dark and the cold, pleading for people to come and save you.... I will forever remember that with deep pain in my heart. You are our modern day Ann Frank.
I am in shock that your comment is the only one amongst all here. This girl has returned to a warm home healthy in one piece with all limbs. They don't let her almost speak for herself. The traumatized gz children are shaking on cameras in despair and full of emotions. How on Earth could this girl have warm bath and food in Gz. She doesn' t really look skinny poor and shaken from hearing carpet bombing every night like the other gzn children. Something is off about this masquerade. My dear people something terrifying is being hidden from you.
I feel every word you wrote! That poor little Palestinian child went through hell before she was gruesomely murdered by the IOF. But apparently kids like Hind are not worth mentioning as much as an Israeli kid who went through the tragedy of not having enough clothes to change! RIP humanity.
why were the tanks there? did the idf get into gaza for fun and giggles or to retrieve the hostages after oct 7th? and why didn't hamas help this child and took responsobility over the Palestinian lives they put at risk? also, how many hamas men were in this girl's family (and don't say her whole familiy was innocent, they might be far relatives but if they had money for a car they had hamas connections)
also, she's called Anne Frank and get her name out of your very uneducated mouth. The situations aren't comparable in any way.
How dare you? You should be ashamed. Don’t ever invoke Anne’s name!

It’s beautiful seeing this little girls smile although looking into her eyes it’s easy to see the fear for the ones still in captivity, what a wonderful dad you are and I agree with all that you say🙏🏼love and best wishes to you and all your children💖.
Thank you so much for sharing about yours and Emily's incredibly painful journey. We are praying for you both as well as for all the remaining hostages. Much love and Shalom from Colorado, USA. 🇮🇱🕊️💔⚔️✝️
what an amazing father.
That's classic PTSD. I have it, I know others that have it. She will never completely get over it. At some point you will feel like you are 100% then something will trigger you and you'll be back in the midst of it all over again. Many survivors of a war are hidden casualties. She is so young and so beautiful, this makes me want to cry right now.
No child on earth should face any kind of war. My heart goes to Emily and her precious recovery. My heart aches for every kid still in Gaza suffering this grownups' madness. May God forgive the world because we know no mercy and no cure for our infinite thirst of vengeance.
Jesus is everyone’s Only Hope.✝
Disrespectful answer, not everybody is Christian
Jesus is the only hope. YouI want to believe it or not it still the truth. And truth will stand to the end. There was nothing disrespectful about it.. It the truth. Jesus is the truth the way and the life. Praise God
@@nadezhdagavrilyuk2878 Saying that and doubling down on it is no better than the extremist Muslims who demand that the whole world be nothing but Muslim...."Islam is the only true way....all others are infidels...you will know this in the end." And lets not get into all the murder and subjugation that has occurred in the name of Jesus.... somehow that does not support your contention that "Jesus is the only way".
This is how she copes with it, bless her
God Bless this family!
What a story... What a caring, sensitive father... Sweet precious little girl... What an experience to go through....
"They started it and we will finish it..."
