The footage released yesterday of six hostages lighting Hanukkah candles inside a Hamas tunnel is one of those moments.

There is only a single, unbroken truth: This is a battle between light and darkness and the line between them is absolute. If you haven't seen it yet, the footage shows Hirsch Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Ori Danino, Alex Lubanov, and Almog Sarusi exhausted, thin, hollowed by captivity striking a match and insisting…...
