'From Danielle and Emilia' - Freed Israeli Woman Thanks Qassam Brigades - Palestine Chronicle

'From Danielle and Emilia' - Freed Israeli Woman Thanks Qassam Brigades - Palestine Chronicle The article transmitted below reports on the letter of thanks to the Al-Qassam Brigades from an Israeli woman who was released with her six-year-old daughter on Friday. The prolonged stays in hospitals of released Israelis may have less to do with their physical health than with keeping them incommunicado while convincing them not to speak honestly about their decent treatment while in Gaza, as an 85-year-old woman released in October scandalously did on live TV. Israel apparently believes that beastly and inhumane treatment of its Palestinian "prisoners" serves its own intimidatory interests, and the Palestinian women and children released in the West Bank in recent days have been speaking freely and frankly about their beastly and inhumane treatment in Israel's prisons. Hamas clearly believes that treating its "guests" kindly serves its own reputational interests, but this kind treatment, if publicly disclosed, would undercut the "human animals" dehumanization and demonization narrative required to justify to Israeli and Western public opinion the planned resumption of Israel's genocidal assault against the people of Gaza. NOTE: While 150 Palestinian women and children, the great majority held without charges or trials, have been released during the past four days, Israel has taken 260 new hostages in the West Bank during these same four days, bringing the total number of new hostages taken in the West Bank since October 7 to 3290. According to the Palestinian Prisoners Club, 56 of the 60 Palestinian women still in Israeli prisons have been "arrested" since October 7.
