Israel has already proven it’s the good guy by spraying the Madleen with an unknown chemical, ramming the vessel, boarding it and making the crew throw their mobile phones overboard.
Israeli commandos were so nice during the encounter that they agreed not to kill anyone as long as they showed total obedience. In fact, the commandos showed such restraint that they didn’t even strip anyone naked. Well, not that I know of…
Israel was temporarily nice to the crew of the Madleen so it could get a propaganda picture and then it took them ashore where it tried to make them watch footage of October 7. When the crew refused, it demanded they sign deportation papers accepting they had illegally entered Israel, even though they were in international waters and it was Israel who took them to Israel!
I understand some of the Madleen crew signed the deportation papers and were sent on their way, but disgracefully, Rima Hassan refused to be repatriated. Apparently, she wouldn’t confess to something she hadn’t done because she has “principles”. Israel says it therefore has no choice but to keep her as a hostage, I mean an, um, prisoner.
Obviously, prisoner is the only accurate word to describe someone who is being illegally detained, having committed no crime. Hassan can’t be a hostage because she smiled defiantly and ate a sandwich and no hostage would ever eat a sandwich. It disrespects all those who were captured on October 7 to call Hassan a hostage, just because she is being held against her will after being abducted by armed men.
I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but Hassan is Palestinian and it’s fine to treat Palestinians this way. It’s what Israel has always done x
Thunberg said Israel had committed “an illegal act by kidnapping us on international waters and against our will, bringing us to Israel, keeping us in the bottom of the boat, not letting us getting out and so on”.
Rima Hassan was kidnapped by Israel and now she’s being held for a crime that they forced her to commit.
This is literally the same logic as when the schoolyard bully grabs your hand, hits your face with it, and tells you to stop hitting yourself.
Shows Israel’s mental maturity.
Hostages doesn’t get trials.
She does.
The 50,000+ dead in Gaza didn’t get a trial either.
Verdict: Guilty of being Palestinian
Sentence: Thrown back into the Gaza concentration camp to be bombed
“Ok”
Shut up, racist
How about keeping to the point?
Are hostages and prisoners the same, in your mind?
Not gonna answer your questions, racist.
Israel is recognized for using imprisonment as a form of hostage taking, holding thousands of Palestinians with no charges or trial for up to months at a time, as young as 8 years old. This is more of the same behavior for them. They were not in Israel until dragged there at gunpoint, they were in international waters, btw.
Israel didn’t want the hostages back either
