In a special episode of Planet Normal co-pilot Pearson brings you a long interview with Eli Sherabi, who after the 7th of October spent 491 days as a captive of Hamas under the tunnels of Gaza.Eli has recently told his story, in his own words, in his book, Hostage. The book tells the harrowing and deeply moving story of his period of captivity, a scarcely credible tale of man's inhumanity to man.An awful added chapter of his story is that on his release in February this year he learned that both his daughters and his wife had been murdered on October 7th after he was taken hostage.&nbsp;It feels an appropriate interview to share on the week we marked two years on from the appalling terror events, and also in the wake of the tragic events of the Manchester synagogue attack.&nbsp;Watch the full interview: <a href="https://youtu.be/zDZ8PH8UIkE" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/zDZ8PH8UIkE</a> |See Planet Normal Live: <a href="https://www.battleofideas.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.battleofideas.org.uk/</a> |Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.
