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

Given how happily the IDF has already killed hostages with its indiscriminate airstrikes, it's an apt comparison.

TERRIFYING: IDF releases hostage testimony detailing Hamas human experimentation
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).
barred the reporters from asking questions
The only democracy in the Middle East, folks
why do people keep questioning them, only reason can be is they are anti Semitic
Sad seeing that logic used whenever idf kills reporters or anyone else
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.”
The original PI post referenced has the exact same image of the letter: https://archive.is/qym4o
unnatural humanity
She absolutely seems to mean well but I do not like this pair of words in this order 
There's a few English translations floating around, seemingly at least all machine-generated. Some versions put double negatives in places, but the gist still comes across.
With enough attention we might get some follow-up on exactly what this person meant but I wouldn't count on it. Probably just a blanket discounting of it by Western media.
my instinct is that the intended meaning is something like "above and beyond common decency" and I'm not at all judging the person saying it, and yeah I honestly did forget that it was probably translated and lost/changed something in the process
only reason I commented anything at all is just, god damn, "unnatural humanity" is a real bummer of a phrase, you know?
maybe abnormal rather than unnatural.
The sad part is the zionist regime is now torturing their Palestinian hostages to write good letters about their torturers so they can get a one up.
BBC will edit this to make it out that they got abused.
If it’s that bad just reading the unredacted parts, imagine how bad the rest of it is!
violently libs
Mossad will kill them for saying this
