Reminds me of US COVID hospital workers begging not to be labeled as heroes, for a variety of reasons.
If you’re not doing something material to further the movement, you’re complicit in the status quo. I know we all have our own conditions and circumstances, but even small actions are important. Praiseworthy resistance shouldn’t be heroic, it should be normalized.
I respect the hell out of her.
Glad she’s mostly unharmed. Some headlines made it seem much worse.
Being forced to sleep in the cold and kiss a flag does not leave much physical trace.
That’s why I said mostly.
She’s unharmed enough to give that speech in relatively good spirits, and even smiled a little.
It could’ve been much much worse.
She was pretty emotional at times. She only really smiled the once. You can see that it fucked her up a little bit, she’s just got enough fire not to let it bother her on camera and mostly get on with what she feels like needs to be said. That is my read of it at least, from my uninformed perspective.
She didn’t seem particularly happy or well treated. Pretty angry even. But she’s such a trooper that she changed the topic of her own suffering to the suffering of Palestinians.

she didn’t drop it; she threw it to the ground.
