Dear Greta Thunberg:
You were not kidnapped.
The 55 hostages still in Gaza were kidnapped.
The Bibas family was kidnapped. Shiri Bibas and her two young sons were brutally murdered after being kidnapped. Women and men were kidnapped and sexually assaulted. One young man from Kiryat Bialik was kidnapped and tortured with electricity. All the hostages were kidnapped and starved.
Your boat was boarded by the Israeli Navy, after a message was broadcast in English that they were not going to harm any of you in any way. Despite all of the passengers on the "selfie yacht" being virulently anti-semitic, the sailors were polite and cordial. They passed out sandwiches and water, making sure all passengers had adequate food and drink.
The boat was towed to the port of Ashdod. I know Ashdod doesn't look like much, but what were you expecting? At that time you and your fellow passengers were examined by physicians to make sure you were in good health after your journey.
Many people wanted you and your comrades to be made to sit and watch the video of the horrors of October 7, 2023. You and all your comrades declined. Why?
It was decided not to force any of you to watch the video. At this point you and four others voluntarily agreed to leave Israel, at which point all of you were put on the next flight out. (Did that stick in your craw? How much carbon was wasted on that?)
Yes, the rest of your shipmates are being detained in Ramle, but that is because they are fighting their deportation orders. This is procedure. They are not being mistreated.
One of my friends is wondering why the young man from Kiryat Bialik, his hometown, where he still lives, isn't in the news. No one cares about him, he said bitterly, only a spoiled brat with an unhealthy fixation, one of the world's oldest and most pervasive hatreds.
I wonder, too, why the world doesn't care about people who were kidnapped. People like Avraham "Avera" Mengistu, a mentally ill young man who spent over a decade in Hamas captivity. Or Hisham Al-Sayed, a schizophrenic Israeli citizen who spent almost ten years held captive by Hamas. Or identical twins Gali and Ziv Berman, who are still held hostage by Hamas.
I would really like for someone, anyone, to make you watch that footage. Those were people with names. People with families and friends.
In short, I hope one day you see reality. Until then, rot in hell, you spoiled brat.
