Released Israeli hostage alleges that isn’t wasn’t Hamas that abducted her, but the ‘civilians’ of Gaza

As if you needed any more proof that “Palestinian civilians” are all too often de facto terrorists, here it is, from an article at the Jewish News Syndicate:

Freed Israeli hostage: ‘Gazan civilians sold me to Hamas’

Nili Margalit, 42, on a tour of Europe to raise awareness of the 133 Israeli hostages still in captivity, told France’s Le Point magazine on Monday that it was Palestinian Arab civilians, not Hamas, who abducted her from her home in Nir Oz on Oct. 7.

‘They negotiated with Hamas to sell me. When they were paid, I was taken straight into a tunnel,’ she said.

First of all, using the word civilian implies civility—and there’s nothing civil about kidnapping children, women, and grandparents, and then selling them to a terrorist group to be used as sex slaves, bargaining chips, and human shields.

But apart from that, when the referendum on political leadership you don’t like becomes electing a terrorist group to “govern” instead, I’d say at that point, you’re just as guilty as the crimes committed by the regime you helped install. Cough, Democrat voters, cough cough. For context, here’s how The Washington Post reported on the political turmoil of Gaza between Fatah and Hamas:

In 2006, the Palestinian political entity operating in the West Bank and Gaza staged elections.

…

The election yielded a shock victory for Hamas, which won the most seats with some 44 percent of the vote.

…

‘Mostly, they were voting for opposition and voting against Fatah...’ Mustafa Barghouti, an outspoken, independent Palestinian politician then and now, told CNN at the time.

Okay so apparently, these Hamas voters didn’t necessarily agree with the slaughter of Christians and Jews (jihad) promised by Hamas in their foundational 1988 Hamas Covenant, but because they hated the other guy (Mahmoud Abbas) that much, they’d put their vote...
