I think what gets to me is the compassion gap between the compassion people can show towards Israelis and the compassion they can show towards Palestinians. It's widely accepted that the 40 babies story for example came about due to traumatised people witnessing unimaginable horrors. Yet here we have a young woman who has endured sustained trauma, a year of the unimaginable and she is given no compassion and understanding.
Like you say there are reports of Israel separating out the men and doing terrible things. I'm sure Bisan herself has heard lots of stories. When she sees a line of men separated from their families being lined up by Israeli forces can we blame her for where her mind might go? I don't know if what she said is true or not but do we know that she didn't believe it to be true, that because of the trauma, because of the things she has witnessed, the people she knows who have disappeared, the stories she has heard that this to her seemed the only logical thing. I can certainly see how that would happen.
I just feel that there is a certain double standard at play, that there is never any room for Palestinians to be mistaken yet Israel can bomb an aid convoy, kill humanitarian workers, call it a mistake and all is forgiven.
I'm getting a migraine so apologies is that is a bit rambly, I'm putting away my phone now but I hope what I'm saying makes some kind of sense.
