Noa Argamani, an Israeli woman freed from Hamas captivity in Gaza in June, said on Friday that her injuries were caused by an Israeli air strike during her rescue operation, not by a Hamas attack.
Speaking to diplomats from G7 countries in Tokyo on Wednesday, Argamani detailed her ordeal after she was taken captive by Palestinian armed groups during the 7 October attack. However, two days later, she issued a statement on Instagram, saying that some of her remarks had been misquoted and taken out of context.
Contrary to some Israeli media reports, Argamani clarified that she was not beaten or had her hair shaved by Palestinian fighters.
“[Hamas members] did not hit me while I was in captivity, nor did they cut my hair; I was injured by the collapse of a wall caused by an [Israeli] Air Force pilot,” she added.
I probably could have worded my comment better, but yeah I was comparing the Hamas hostage situation to the original bank robbery in Stockholm where the hostages felt less endangered by the hostage takers than the authorities who were supposed to protect and save them
i mean, the feeling isn’t wrong, just look at the amount of hostages we KNOW the IDF killed themselves already
The original bank robbery was called “Stockholm Syndrome” for bullshit reasons. It’s not a real thing.
