  2. This is great news to hear. I know that the experience being held captive will never leave him. It’s just sad all around.

  3. Won’t be the last time he’s kidnapped or assaulted, unfortunately.

  4. i still dont understand were there israeli operatives hiding in the US waiting to jump them? Hows this just allowed…

  6. Glad to hear he survived, frankly. Will definitely be checking out his film now.

  7. Mark Ruffalo will be happy! We don’t need him hulking out

  8. I hate those violent criminals. But they will never be arrested. Because ethnic cleansing is national policy in Israel.

  12. Disgusting that he was apprehended in the first place but would not expect any less from Zionist fascists

  13. I was 100% sure the next story was going to be that he died, I mean, was murdered.

  14. Glad to hear the Israelis didn’t murder him after lynching him, what a terrible situation.

  15. The only thing that prevented the Israeli government from holding him indefinitely without charge was the international press around the attack. Go see the film.

  16. oh thank god he’s alive i was fearing the worst most of us were

  17. That’s such good news. Yesterday’s headline was one of the most nightmarish things I’ve heard.

  18. Wow, he miraculously came back to life after lynching.
