    The full truth about what happened on or after 7 October could be established by an independent investigation, something Israel is unlikely to ever permit.

    Yeah maybe they shouldn't have kicked out Human Rights Watch. Then we might actually know what happened.

    Honestly she'd be better off fleeing back into PLO or Hamas protection because she's gonna be on some zion-fascist's hitlist for speaking the truth on international television

    It's surreal that she managed to get on national television and say this. Aren't there whole departments of the government/military dedicated to making sure that that doesn't happen?

    What she said wasn't even that positive. She said that during her capture she was beaten to the point of not being able to breathe well, but after that she was looked after well and got the same food and water as the fighters/her captors, and even got shampoo.

    If a statement like this is enough to infuriate Israel, then that's pretty telling on their side

      It's a story so unremarkable that it being reacted to this way just makes me wonder how Isntreal treats it's prisoners...

      so why would she say she "went through hell" and got beat with sticks and bruised and stuff? if she's just lying to protect her husband, why wouldn't she say all bad stuff? why would she insist on shaking the Hamas guy's hand instead of just walking past him?
