Anybody heard of Stockholm Syndrome?
Her husband, still held in Gaza, used to drive sick Gazan children to treatments in Israel.
That's interesting. Are you saying that perhaps that's why they were treating her well? I'm not entirely sure what point you're trying to make as there's a few ways to interpret that.
I'm not sure myself, if this elderly couple is on good terms with some Gazan families, AND those could put a good word for them, it would make sense to release both women AND their elderly husbands...
On the other hand, if Hamas suspected they won't survive the captivity for much longer, they're of limited value as actual hostages, and their release will allow Hamas to score some sympathy points.
Who can know for sure, except for Hamas leaders?

How do we differentiate Stockholm Syndrome from just being in contact with the people you’ve been at war with, and seeing them as humans for the first time.
Anyone seen the first 30 minutes of The Crying Game?
But when are you going to tell the moon about it?

Arab hospitality is also legendary. It’s a stain on you if a guest isn’t treated well in your house.
What if they become a guest under gun point?
I think the hospitality reflex would still apply. How do you show your enemy you are superior to him? By demonstrating your dignity and honor. I know it’s weird. They might beat a prisoner or worse, too. But they would not allow him to starve.
She also recounted how they sang lullabies as they were shooting the kids at the festival.
/s < because apparently this needed. No, it wasn't in the article, I'm just highlighting the absurdity.
That’s not in the article. Did you make that up? Why?
Do you have a source for this?
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
