Rom Braslavski, a survivor of the Nova music festival massacre and a former Hamas hostage, has publicly stated his discomfort with being treated by doctors who speak Arabic, drawing a parallel between the language spoken by his captors and that of potential medical caregivers.
Braslavski, who was held captive for 738 days after working as a security guard at the Nova party on October 7th, shared his feelings on his X account following a scene in the Israeli drama series "Dying to Live." The show depicted a patient expressing unease about an Arab doctor treating his mother. Braslavski related this to his own experience, questioning whether it was racist to feel uncomfortable hearing Arabic in an Israeli hospital, given that the terrorists who tortured him spoke the same language.
The controversy is further amplified by the actress playing the doctor in the scene, Maisa Abd El Hadi. She was previously involved in a public uproar and arrested after posting social media content that appeared to support the October 7th Hamas attack, including sharing images of hostages and the border breach with laughing emojis.
Braslavski has become a prominent public figure since his release, recently launching his own podcast and announcing a new talk show on Channel 2000, where his first guest will be politician Moshe Feiglin. He has increasingly used his platform to voice opinions on public and political issues beyond his personal story of captivity.
