Zionists already are.

Interesting how people keep leveraging the stockholm syndrome charge against the most clear cut and obvious cases of short term hostage taking for material concessions.

Obviously the original case was a bank robbery where the robbers took hostages to exchange for an escape route, but now we have Hamas taking hostages to exchange for supplies, temporary ceasefires, imprisoned Palestinians etc. When you take hostages like that you know that as far as you are concerned these people will be returning to their homes. You dont really have a reason to want anything from them except just basic calm and cooperation.

So in a situation like that you're most likely to just treat them as normally as circumstances allow, and if the holdup on an exchange is happening because "their" side is stalling or trying to "cut the knot" of the hostage situation then in this isolated space its obvious to the hostages whos the threat and whos trying to resolve the situation.

These specifics can change when you start changing the circumstances, such as if the hostages are taken also for interrogation of information, or you dont have a clear material goal in mind as the hostages are being taken, then the relationships and treatments will change, but in these pretty simple situations its just eminently understandable how basic human camraderie can create a positive relationship between hostage and hostage taker.

Edit: And of course as an opposite to this, Israel does not take hostages for the purposes of extracting concessions from Palestinians, they imprison Palestinians for the sake of imprisoning and disempowering Palestinians, whatever function they can have as hostages later is secondary, the cruelty is primary.

Its a funny cultural thing that in two separate places where I have talked about this, Americans(I assume) immediately talk about pickles, while my primary reference point for something that just wafts of dill is crayfish.

I dont think Ive ever actually seen a dill pickle here in sweden, its either all brine or with mustard seeds.

Am I going insane or is there some fucking industrial/shipping process or material that makes things smell like dill?

I worked in a warehouse for online shopping for about half a year and there was one aisle in particular that smelled so strongly of dill I assumed they were storing like crayfish or something there, but I brushed it off since there was tons of novelty shit there.

But now I got some fresh new guitar strings, ernie ball, nothing weird about them. Tear open the plastic and it smells of fucking dill again. Its fucking me up honestly.

I'll check out victorinox, thanks!

Their santoku knives look pretty appealing, the best knife in the home kitchen rn is a santoku style with some incomprehensible signature logo so thats already the kind of knife Im most comfortable with.

Considering getting a chinese chef knife for christmas, really I just would like any particular sort of chef knife that I can take responsibility for myself so that it doesnt end up in the washing machine, but the chinese chef knives seem really neat and good at most stuff so thats a plus.

Strictly technically speaking, it was invented by "a" confederate veteran to treat "his" morphine addiction, and morphine addictions in general.

Seems like the current consensus explanation for the Swedish PM saying Israel has the right to genocide is that he actually said "Folkrätt" which roughly means international law.

Israel has the right to international law. Equally as soft nonsense as the previous explanations, still hinging on the suggestion that our PM just cannot speak Swedish properly. Also Im unclear on if they want us to believe that he was saying "Israel har rätt till folkrätt" or if the suggestion is he reversed the word order.

The actual government twitter accounts are just saying its a mistranslation and urging people to please stop saying that the Swedish PM endorses genocide.

It would be stupid to trust Ted Bundy when he said porn mags made him kill and it would definitely be at least naive to take this at face value, particularly when the murderer is trying to tie it to a publicly controversial yet popular thing like true crime.

But theres like a ton of accounts? Is it just all alts?

What the fuck is this school bonds twitter shit, is it just another head of the nafo hydra?

Liberals abhor the idea that life or politics is a conflict between friends and enemies. They associate that idea with fascism and with Dachau and Auschwitz.

Whats the % on this author having at some point within the past weeks called Trump "a thousand times worse than Biden"?

Edit: Checked and no, this is one of those demons who proclaims a political ideology then takes no political stances in the slightest, does nothing but talk endlessly about legal minutiae and technicalities then retweets one single tweet about US aid giving 1 dollar to an Ecuadorian farmer.
