They already are on their side.
Point taken.
Steve and Olaf wanted to be in the Gaza strip because they wanted to represent the Palestinian point of view....
..OK, they're reporters, but she emphasized that whoever took them should realize they were reporting the Palestinians plight and this is not helping.
But then she said a very strange thing...
She said, or suggested strongly, that the kidnappers might not be Palestinians but 'someone else'...who want to give the Palestinians a bad name....(excuse me, I thought the Palestinians did that all by themselves)....
Who do you think she's suggesting took them?
I hope I'm taking her tone wrong.
