The journalist and media personality, Liat Ron, criticizes the creation of the "Hostages' Doughnut" and wonders what was going through the minds of its creators. At the beginning of her show on Radio 103FM, Ron said: "What went through the minds of those who conceived the Hostages' Symbol Doughnut?"
She added: "What would you do if you were passing by a bakery and saw a donut with a yellow patch in front of you? What would you do? Would you run away in terror or scream at the owner?"
"Anyone who walks around Tel Aviv will find a donut with the symbol of the captives. And I ask myself, what went through the minds of those who conceived the hostage doughnut. We are slaughtering sacred cows one after another with great joy. And if at first the families of the hostages were a public that needed to be treated with respect, then we normalized them, and now it's possible to curse them, scream at them, and expel them from the Knesset. We turned the symbol of the hostages into a "hello, hello" kind of thing."
