2023年10月6日，奥默·谢姆·托夫（Omer Shem Tov）和他的家人正在庆祝他母亲的生日。不到24小时后，哈马斯恐怖分子将谢姆·托夫从诺瓦音乐节（Nova Music Festival）上绑架，并将他囚禁在加沙地带长达505天。将近三年后，谢姆·托夫终于开始讲述自己的经历，同时努力重新找回自我。
On Oct. 6, 2023, Omer Shem Tov and his family were celebrating his mother's birthday. Less than 24 hours later, Hamas terrorists kidnapped Shem Tov from the Nova Music Festival and held him hostage in Gaza for 505 days. Nearly three years later, Shem Tov is telling his story while trying to regain his sense of self.
在接受福克斯新闻数字频道（Fox News Digital）的采访时，谢姆·托夫回忆道：2023年10月7日上午6点29分，当哈马斯的袭击开始时，音乐节上的所有人都采取了相应的防范措施，但并没有陷入恐慌。他解释说：“在以色列，我们已经习惯了这种事情。”由于他们以为这次袭击只会是空袭，包括谢姆·托夫和他的朋友们在内的所有参与者都开始收拾行李，准备开车回家。然而，许多人始终没能回到家中；而像谢姆·托夫一样，有些人直到很久以后才得以重获自由。
In a conversation with Fox News Digital, Shem Tov recalled that when Hamas' attack started at 6:29 a.m. on Oct. 7, 2023, people at the festival took precautions, but were not panicked. He explained that "in Israel, we're very used to it." Thinking that the aerial attack was the only thing coming, festival goers, including Shem Tov and his friends, began packing up and heading to their cars to drive home. However, many of them never made it home and, as in Shem Tov's case, some came back much later.
在《来自黑暗的光明》（Light From the Darkness）一书中，谢姆·托夫详细记录了自己遭遇袭击的经历以及在加沙被囚禁期间的点点滴滴。他还透露，在袭击开始前不久，自己曾服用了摇头丸（ecstasy）。
In his book, "Light From the Darkness," Shem Tov recounts his experience of the attacks and throughout his time as a hostage in Gaza. He also opened up about having taken ecstasy shortly before the attacks began.
救治10月7日受伤人员的以色列医护人员重新经历了那天的恐怖经历“在我的书中，我非常坦率地讲述了这件事，因为我想让人们明白：我和任何一个20岁的年轻人一样，”谢姆·托夫对福克斯新闻数字频道（Fox News Digital）说，“我本来也想参加派对、享受快乐。”
ISRAELI MEDICAL WORKERS WHO TREATED OCT 7 WOUNDED RELIVE DAY TERROR HIT HOME "In my book, I talk about it, first of all, very openly, because I mean I want people to understand that I'm just like any other 20-year-old," Shem Tov told Fox News Digital. "I wanted to party.
谢姆·托夫解释说，在袭击开始时，那种兴奋感加上肾上腺素的刺激让他能够“更快地奔跑，而且不停地跑”。然而当恐怖分子逐渐靠近并开始向他和他的朋友们开枪时，那种兴奋感突然消失了。被带到加沙数小时后，他又重新感受到了那种恐惧的感觉。
I wanted to have fun." Shem Tov explained to Fox News Digital that he felt that the ecstasy, combined with his adrenaline, actually helped him "run faster and without stopping" as the attack began. He said that the feeling disappeared suddenly as terrorists got closer and began firing at him and his friends. Hours after being taken into Gaza, Shem Tov felt the effects again. He said it was "a very scary feeling."
他被囚禁的最初50天里，一直处于完全的黑暗中，所待的笼子小到他无法站立或伸展双臂。由于患有哮喘，他在狭小的空间里呼吸困难，甚至“遭受了极度的饥饿”。
The first 50 days of his captivity were spent in total darkness, in a cage so small he could not stand up or spread out his arms. Shem Tov, who is an asthmatic, said he had trouble breathing in the tiny space and that he was "starved in the most extreme way."
“我处于完全的黑暗中，什么也看不见，简直快疯了，”谢姆·托夫告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“在心里，我把发生的一切归咎于上帝和‘所有人’。”
"I was in complete darkness, I couldn't see anything, and I just went crazy," Shem Tov told Fox News Digital, adding that in his mind, he was blaming God and "everyone else" for what had happened.
“一周后，我终于意识到：上帝赋予了我自由意志。我可以选择相信什么，也可以选择不相信什么；我可以在善与恶之间做出选择，”他说。
"After a week, I got to a point where I realized that God has created me with the power of free will. I can choose to do whatever I want. I can choose to believe, I can choose not to believe.
前哈马斯人质哈桑·皮克尔在德克萨斯州奥斯汀的活动中分享了自己的生存经历“我意识到自己有两个选择：要么陷入抑郁，把发生的一切都归咎于上帝和所有人，最终可能会因抑郁和心碎而死去；要么努力从这种困境中找到积极的一面，尝试从中创造一些美好的东西，”他说。
I can choose between good and bad and evil." FORMER HAMAS HOSTAGE COUNTERS HASAN PIKER’S UT AUSTIN EVENT WITH HER STORY OF SURVIVAL "I realized that I have two choices: Either I sink into depression and I blame everyone and God for everything that happened to me and I just sink deeper and deeper until eventually I think that I would have just died of depression and broken heart, or either I look at the situation, and I try to make something good in some way out of it," he said.
在完全的黑暗中，谢姆·托夫表示，他当时正在“向上帝哭泣”，并对上帝说：“上帝，从今以后我信任你，我知道自己身处正确的地方、正确的时间。这正是我该在的地方，从今以后我将把自己交在你手中。随你意，随你愿。”他补充道：“从那一刻起，我只看到了光。在完全的黑暗中，我真的看到了光。”
While in complete darkness, Shem Tov said he was "crying to God" and telling Him, "God, from now on I trust you and I know that I'm in the right place, in the right time. This is exactly where I am supposed to be, and I'm in your hands from now on. Do as you wish, do as you will." "From that moment on, I just saw light. I really did see light in complete darkness," he added.
在被扣押期间，谢姆·托夫面临着扣押者施加的极端压力，但即使面临死亡威胁，他也拒绝屈服。当他们命令他引爆针对正在推进的以色列国防军士兵的陷阱时，他断然拒绝。即使扣押者威胁要当场枪杀他，谢姆·托夫依然坚守立场，并挑衅他们扣动扳机。
While in captivity, Shem Tov faced extreme pressure from his captors, yet he refused to break even under the threat of death. When they ordered him to detonate traps against advancing Israel Defense Forces soldiers, he flatly refused. Even when his captors threatened to shoot him on the spot, Shem Tov held his ground and dared them to pull the trigger.
以色列新展出的证据揭露了10月7日大屠杀前哈马斯多年的恐怖主义策划。“有一条我不能逾越的红线。我就是，我就是不会做，”谢姆·托夫告诉福克斯新闻数字版。“如果我没有被扣押，也许我会在那里。也许我会为那些被扣押的兄弟姐妹而战。所以，那就是我的红线，我就是做不到，我宁愿死也不愿做。”2025年2月22日，在作为人质度过了505天后，谢姆·托夫通过以色列与哈马斯之间的人质换囚协议返回以色列，并与家人团聚。
ISRAEL'S NEW EXHIBIT EXPOSES YEARS OF HAMAS TERRORIST PLANNING BEFORE OCT 7 MASSACRE "There was some kind of red line that I cannot cross. I will just, I will not do it," Shem Tov told Fox News Digital. "If I wasn't in captivity, maybe I would be up there. Maybe I would fight for my brothers and my sisters that were hostages. So, that was my red line and I just couldn't do it, and I preferred to die than do it." On Feb. 22, 2025, after enduring 505 days as a hostage, Shem Tov returned to Israel in a prisoners-for-hostages exchange between Israel and Hamas and was reunited with his family.
他花了数月时间呼吁释放仍留在加沙地带的人质。最后一名活着的人质于2025年10月13日获释。
He spent months advocating for the hostages still left in the Gaza Strip. The last of the living hostages were released on Oct. 13, 2025.
谢姆·托夫仍在四处奔走讲述他的故事，并公开批评他所认为的海外战争叙事中存在的危险空白。最近，他在《华尔街日报》撰写了一篇专栏文章，批评了一部名为《NAZA》的争议性纪录片，这是希伯来语军事缩写，意为“附带损害”。该影片描绘了加沙的伤亡情况，并在第83届威尼斯国际电影节上获得了25分钟的起立鼓掌。
Shem Tov still travels to tell his story and speaks out against what he sees as a dangerous narrative gap in how the war is portrayed abroad. Recently, he wrote an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal criticizing a controversial documentary called "NAZA," the Hebrew military acronym for "collateral damage." The film depicts casualties in Gaza and received a 25-minute standing ovation at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival.
谢姆·托夫在批评这部影片时毫不留情。"感觉就像经历了25分钟的刀雨，一刀刀捅在我身上，"他对福克斯新闻数字版表示。"加沙战争很可怕，对双方都很可怕，但在电影《纳扎》里，他们只展示了一方。他们没展示我的那方。那我算什么？我就是纳扎。我就是附带损害。" 观点：世界正在辩论对以色列实施制裁。我看着年轻战士们重建生活 当被联系置评时，《纳扎》幕后团队的代表将福克斯新闻数字版引向导演尤瓦尔·亚伯拉罕和拉切尔·佐尔此前发表的声明。
Shem Tov did not mince words when criticizing the film. "It felt like 25 minutes of a rain of knives that just stabbed me," he told Fox News Digital. "The war in Gaza was horrible, horrible for both sides, but in the movie 'NAZA' they only showed one side. They didn't show my side. What about me? I was NAZA. I was collateral damage." OPINION: THE WORLD IS DEBATING SANCTIONS AGAINST ISRAEL. I AM WATCHING YOUNG WARRIORS REBUILD THEIR LIVES When reached for comment, representatives for the team behind "NAZA" referred Fox News Digital to previous statements made by directors Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor.
在《纳扎》北美首映后的问答环节中，该片于第64届纽约电影节首映，亚伯拉罕回应了对影片的批评，称10月7日袭击"毫无正当性"，同时辩称当天的野蛮行径不能为以色列的行动辩护。"我认为重要的是要说，你知道，这在电影里，而且——10月7日的大屠杀完全没有正当性，但这也不能为你们在电影中看到的东西辩护，不能为加沙如此多平民的屠杀辩护，不能为食品分发点的大屠杀辩护，"亚伯拉罕说。"
During a Q&A following the North American premiere of NAZA, which took place at the 64th New York Film Festival, Abraham addressed the criticisms of the film, calling the Oct. 7 attacks "unjustified," while arguing that the barbarism of that day could not be used to defend Israel's actions. "I think it's important for me to say that, you know, it's in the film, and it's — completely unjustified, the massacre of October the 7th, but it also cannot justify what you've seen in the film, doesn't justify the slaughter of so many civilians in Gaza, the the the massacres at food sites," Abraham said.
当我看着那些卡车时，我想，我不想生活在一个这样的世界里：对以色列受害者正当的同理心，被内塔尼亚胡——你知道，那些愤世嫉俗的人，除了永久占领和战争什么也承诺不了——利用起来，被武器化，变成对巴勒斯坦人缺乏同理心的借口，"他继续说道。亚伯拉罕指的是放映场外抗议卡车上展示的10月7日图片。
"When I was looking at those trucks, I thought, like, I don't want to live in a world where empathy, rightful empathy to Israeli victims is weaponized by leaders like Netan — you know, cynical people who promise nothing other than perpetual occupation and war, is weaponized to mean a lack of empathy to Palestinians," he continued. Abraham was referring to protest trucks outside the screening that showed images of Oct. 7.
MS RACHEL 在重新曝光的片段中称加沙记者为“朋友”，此前该记者承认隐瞒了 10 月 7 日人质视频然而，Shem Tov 坚持认为，该影片的叙事框架抹杀了 10 月 7 日袭击期间发生的真实情况，以及最初将战争引向加沙的原因。他对福克斯新闻数字版表示，他亲眼目睹哈马斯蓄意将人质和巴勒斯坦人的苦难武器化，作为宣传手段。
MS RACHEL CALLS GAZA JOURNALIST ‘FRIEND’ IN RESURFACED CLIP AFTER HE ADMITS HIDING OCT 7 HOSTAGE FOOTAGE Shem Tov, however, maintains that the film's framing erases the reality of what happened during the Oct. 7 attacks and what brought the war to Gaza in the first place. He told Fox News Digital that he witnessed Hamas deliberately weaponizing the suffering of both the hostages and Palestinians as means of propaganda.
“他们根本不在乎谁会死，”Shem Tov 谈到哈马斯时说。“对他们来说，死得越多越好。”“看到长达 25 分钟的起立鼓掌，简直……我无法形容那有多伤人，有多伤人。他们没看到我，没看到事情发生的真实原因。我是说，我认为人们就是应该多了解、多学习、多看看，”他补充道。
"They don't really care about who dies," Shem Tov said of Hamas. "For them, the more dead, the better." "Seeing a standing [ovation] of 25 minutes was just, well, I can't explain how hurtful it was, how hurtful it was. Not seeing me, not seeing the true reason of what's happening there. And I mean, I think people just should know more, should learn more, should see more," he added.
获释后，Shem Tov 在大学校园演讲时亲历了这种意识形态的分裂。他表示，哥伦比亚大学之行尤为触动他，因为在被扣押期间，他曾通过电视看到那里的露营抗议和身穿头巾的人群。
Since his release from captivity, Shem Tov has witnessed this ideological divide firsthand while speaking at college campuses. He said that his visit to Columbia University was particularly triggering, as he had seen the encampments and people clad in keffiyehs on TV while he was being held hostage.
“人们在某种程度上盲目跟风，这很悲哀，”他对福克斯新闻数字版说。“大多数学生从社交媒体获取信息，而在社交媒体上，你能看到大量谎言、大量宣传，我认为他们应该打开书本。他们应该多读书、多学习。”被从诺瓦音乐节绑架三年后，Shem Tov 继续讲述自己的故事，同时也展望未来。他对福克斯新闻数字版表示，虽然他已接受了为那些无法发声的人讲述故事的使命感，但他不会让自己作为人质度过的 505 天定义自己的一生。
"It's sad that people are following trends in some ways," he told Fox News Digital. "Most of the students get their information from social media, and on social media, you can see a lot of lies, a lot of propaganda, and I think they should open a book. They should read more. They should learn more." Three years after he was taken from the Nova festival, Shem Tov continues to tell his story while also looking towards the future. He told Fox News Digital that, while he has embraced what he sees as a duty to tell his story for all those who cannot tell their own, he will not let the 505 days he spent as a hostage define his life.
“我绝不逃避我所经历的一切，因为我认为那些经历教会了我很多，”他问道。“我有我的责任，我知道我的责任是什么，我会竭尽全力完成我的工作，但我远不止于此，我是奥梅尔。”
"I don't run away for a second from what I've been through because I think what I've been through taught me a lot," he said. "I have my duty and I know what's my duty, and I will do anything to complete my job, but I'm much more than this, I am Omer."
