Reminder that Stockholm Syndrome isn't a real psychological condition and it's actually just hostages realizing that the police don't give a fuck whether they live
Is this real? Not surprised that Hamas treated their prisoners humanely and the IOF gave them every reason to sympathize with their captors, but this is a glowing review. She doesn't even seem mad about it.
Ummid has more on the back story, with this noteworthy detail:
However, some supporters of the Zionist regime has doubted the veracity of the letter and called it “fabricated” and “Hamas propaganda”.
The Israeli government has barred the reporters from asking questions about the conditions in which the hostages were held or their physical and emotional well-being.
Really is suspicious that the Israeli government isn’t letting reporters talk to the freed hostages and thus not allowing any corroboration (especially after those hostages released earlier said they were treated well).
Here's the provenance of the letter at least, according to SABA's English news site ( https://archive.is/hoca4 ):
According to the Palestinian Information Center, Danielle said in a handwritten letter in Hebrew, addressed to Al-Qassam and published by the Phalange’s military media on Monday: “To the generals who accompanied me in recent weeks, it seems that we will part, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the unnatural humanity that you showed towards my child Emilia.”
