The psychological phenomenon, not the Swedish capital, is what the title article is about. A psychological study conducted on a number of Israelis released in the one-time deal, which was concluded in the first months of the war of extermination that entered its fourteenth month, concluded that all of those released sympathized with their captors, and that they called them guards rather than captors. The study described the detainees as mentally ill with “Stockholm Syndrome,” in which the captive sympathizes with his captor and the victim with his executioner.

These results do not describe the situation, as much as they demonize the resistance and dehumanize the captors, who treated their prisoners well and provided them with food and medicine throughout their detention. Their faces said more than their tongues, to the point that one of the female broadcasters on Israeli television channels was reprimanded when she described one of the released women as being more elegant than she was.

Although the capture of children, women and the elderly was not wise, and they should have been released from the first hours of their capture, before they became a pretext that brought more loss and demonization to the people of Gaza than benefit, and caused the ignition to flare up, Netanyahu, who is crying over them, does not want to release them, as much as he seeks to invest in their survival and suffering to continue the genocide, and to prolong the life of his government, by preserving the cohesion of his partners, to achieve dreams of expansion and the desires for control carried by political and fundamentalist biblical motives.

Stop the genocide now..!
