I won't criticize her and hope she gets help to heal... hlthe2b Dec 2023 #1
She was transferred from family to family to family repeatedly. Same thing, always. Why do you doubt her experience? Hekate Dec 2023 #7
I do not doubt her experience as I very clearly said. I doubt the ability to extrapolate to an entire hlthe2b Dec 2023 #13

It does say she was moved from home to home, Ms. Toad Dec 2023 #29
It seems to me, you are seeking reasons to doubt her story. I don't doubt it. Why would she lie? Demsrule86 Dec 2023 #77
I have not disputed a single fact attributed to her in the article. Ms. Toad Dec 2023 #98
She also states that everyone are terrorists forthemiddle Dec 2023 #90
Unless she has met every Palestinian, that is feeling - not fact. Ms. Toad Dec 2023 #97

Why don't we see or hear people protesting Hamas there ? JI7 Dec 2023 #61
First, it's hard to stage a protest when bombs are falling. intheflow Dec 2023 #75

It is so generous of you to refrain from criticizing her! TheKentuckian Dec 2023 #116
What is your motivation in misrepresenting my posts? Seriously? What? hlthe2b Dec 2023 #117

I won't believe that an 8 year old or younger isn't innocent RandomNumbers Dec 2023 #3

Why don't you write letters to all the hostages. madaboutharry Dec 2023 #18
The question was posed as intended. We can say, if we choose, "no, we don't agree that babies in Gaza are terrorists". David__77 Dec 2023 #20
No one here is saying that babies are terrorists. madaboutharry Dec 2023 #27

I wonder how much duress the family was feeling. Like drug cartels taking over neighborhoods in Mexico for example. cbabe Dec 2023 #4

You are misinterpreting what others are saying. They are not doubting her statements. hlthe2b Dec 2023 #15
Clarified indeed. I feel like I can look through the "just asking questions" & the "whatabouts" & "bothsides " Hekate Dec 2023 #36
