An Israeli court has refused to release a female Palestinian journalist whose prematurely born baby is solely reliant on her mother’s breast milk for nutrition, her family told Middle East Eye.

Rula Hassanein, 29, was detained on 19 March when several Israeli troops raided her home south of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank.

She was accused of incitement on social media, a charge that has frequently been filed against Palestinians since war broke out in Gaza on 7 October.

A military court based at the Ofer prison complex in the West Bank has postponed Hassanein’s trial session for the third time and rejected bail and release requests submitted by her lawyer. The trial is now set for Monday.

I guess this is one of the 3000 hostages that Hamas is fighting to release?

Fuck Israel.

[-] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Hamas isn't fighting to release anything.

The palestinian people, on the other hand, are another story.

[-] machinin@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

So what was the last time they demanded the release of hostages for?

[-] Plastic_Ramses@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Political posturing.

Youre fooling yourself if you think hamas actually gives a shit about palestinian people as a whole.

[-] machinin@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

If you think all their actions are only meant for political posturing, sounds like you're the fool. Humans and movements like that aren't so one dimensional. We are much more complicated.

I'm any case, one more time for good measure, fuck Israel.

As English isn't my native language, I'm not sure what this means. I don't understand what Israel accuses her off, seems like nothing. And they are helding her basically hostage for nothing, as if they're trying to kill her newborn baby.

Since they know this:

prematurely born baby is solely reliant on her mother’s breast milk for nutrition

You do think, even if she had done something, they would at least give her the ability to feed her newborn child.

Israel government and their so called ''most moral military in the world''. Yeah, right. They have proven the entire world that they're exactly like Nazi-Germany. The have become the exact ideology and state they feared and hated.

They accuse her of posting stuff they don't like on social media. So one Palestinian in jail and another one dying. A success for the Israeli government.

Welcome to the last 7 decades. (Before this "war" they killed at least 1 Palestinian child per hour and have always imprisoned Palestinians on made up charges.)

Israel is a shitstain on the democratic (or western or whatever you want to call it) way of thinking.

[-] bufalo1973@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago

Look for info on what the Zionists did in Nazi Germany.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 38 points 7 months ago

So question to the Zionists: Is this a hostage? Yes/no.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 23 points 7 months ago

Wow. Put people under a military occupation with no rights and then charge them with crimes for complaining.
