Lesley Stahl, a journalist from 60 Minutes, is receiving criticism for her interview with Keith Siegel, a former Hamas hostage, as social media users express outrage, claiming she showed sympathy toward the terrorist organization.
Stahl faced online condemnation after questioning Siegel about whether Hamas intentionally starved him or simply lacked food to provide. "Do you think they starved you because or they just didn’t have food?" she asked Siegel, following his account of how his captors grew harsher after his wife, Aviva, was freed.
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
Siegel, who endured 484 days in captivity, responded, "No, I think they starved me, and they would often eat in front of me and not offer me food."
Multiple pro-Israel X accounts have highlighted the interaction, accusing Stahl of justifying the actions of the Islamic terrorists. The "Jew Fight Back account" posted, "Shame on 60 Minutes. Shame on CBS. And shame on every apologist who still can’t admit that Hamas is pure evil."
Ari Hoffman, a conservative journalist, also weighed in, stating, "Lesley Stahl & CBS should be ashamed of themselves. Throughout the interviews with the released hostages, Stahl used Hamas data & talking points... She should ask the Nazis if they meant to starve the Jews in the Holocaust or didn't have enough aid."
