The fact that she has been held hostage has been used as justification for the unlawful detainment of Palestinians. The hostages have been the central crux of all of the actions Israel has taken. It's not that it doesn't matter whatsoever that she was taken hostage. It's that her being taken hostage is part of the justification for genocide of Palestinians.
What's that got to do with her being captured and held being a bad thing?
I never said it wasn't a bad thing. Only adding context to the situation. I don't understand what your hangup here is. The Israeli media lied about what happened to her. The Israeli military is taking tens of thousands of prisoners and doing the exact thing they accused hamas of doing to her. That's relevant. A genocide is ongoing based on misinformation mischaracterization and selective omission of information.
Yeah, that came off as callous and victim-blaming to me. Your first comment was that this lady had it good compared to victims of her countrymen. Sounded like collective blame to me.
At least you're not the Dresden guy.
I never said she deserved it, nor that it was right. We can have wider discussions that relate to the content of a post. Conversations wouldn't go far on this platform if we were restricted to talking exactly about the subject of each post.
She is also a victim of her countrymen, to be clear.
