And then when I discovered such amazing things in there that they weren't talking about I was confused. No it wasn't, but I was no longer #held #hostage by their #incorrect #understandings of judgment. But it seems that I don't do it right for some people and it can be divisive for others. I'm good.

Best women led, women directed things I watched in 2025.
A little disclaimer in case you're new here. I don't watch everything. I review things directed by women or with women in the leading roles. With that in mind, I'll list the things I liked best in movies, TV series, and documentary categories in 2025. Things are listed in the reverse order from when I saw them, not in order of importance or wonderfulness. […]https://oldaintdead.com/best-women-led-women-directed-things-i-watched-in-2025/

URGENT: According to the Prisoners Media Office, Attorney Ghaida Qasem from #Nazareth visited Dr. Hossam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, in "Ofer" prison after over 70 days in detention, including 14 days in the notorious "Sde Teiman" detention center.
She reported that Dr. Abu Safiya was first held in "Sde Teman" for 14 days in isolation, then transferred to "Ofer," where he spent another 25 days in solitary confinement.
His longest interrogation lasted 13 consecutive days, with each session spanning 8-10 hours. He endured severe #abuse, #torture, and relentless #brutality throughout.
Before his arrest, Abu Safiya’s son was martyred in Gaza and buried temporarily near Kamal Adwan #Hospital. His first question during the visit was whether his son had received a proper and dignified burial. He was also deeply affected by his mother’s passing 10 days after his arrest.
Qasem noted: "He had no idea that his case had gained such widespread local, Arab, and international attention. Prisoners are almost completely isolated inside the prison, and they do not know what is happening outside, nor are they aware of developments in Gaza."
Regarding the torture and repression Abu Safiya recounted, Qasem said: "If we are talking about 'Sde Teman,' it is a slaughterhouse in every sense of the word. The torture, violations, and starvation there are unprecedented. We are talking about prisoners who have been shackled for 10 months, prisoners with amputated limbs without medical care, elderly detainees who are bound and blindfolded, detainees who have lost 70 to 90 kilograms of weight. In addition, there is the extreme cold—prisoners are held in open cages, exposed to the wind and rain, forced to sit on the ground at all times, forbidden from speaking to one another, praying, or reading the #Quran."
She continued: "In addition to the physical torture, there is psychological torment, as intelligence officers inform prisoners that their entire families have been martyred."
The occupation authorities attempted to charge him but, after 45 days of interrogations and torture, failed to find any evidence. His case was reverted to "unlawful combatant" status, stripping him of all legal rights, including representation and formal charges, allowing indefinite detention.
Despite his suffering, Abu Safiya remains in high spirits. He emphasized: “A person is their history, and their history is a stance that is taken and studied.”
Last month, zionist media aired footage of Abu Safiya, shackled and visibly exhausted, in a Channel 13 interview—the first since his arrest on December 27, 2024. This followed the occupation's decision to classify him as an "unlawful combatant" and reports of his torture, mistreatment, and medical neglect.

trigger warning: bibas family
Curious about this, and, embarrassingly, this is as close to a general population as I can get. Please boost for reach.
With that said:
Have you heard of the Bibas family and what happened to them (before I asked this question)?#mazeldon #bibas #israel #hamas #palestine #hostage #poll #politics #gaza

Shiri Bibas
Ariel Bibas
Kfir Bibas.Say their names.
Scream them.
Scream them and scream who they were and what they could have been, should have been.
Say who butchered them, who returned them in those grotesquely antisemitic locked coffins. Who still will not give us Shiri. Who slaughtered a ten month old, too young to have teeth, a four year old, a loving mother.
Let their memory be for not only a blessing, but an awakening.

The "Israeli #hostage solidarity badge" is, or at least has become, a pro #genocide (and pro #apartheid, pro settler colonialism etc.) symbol. Even Benjamin #Netanyahu is wearing it and everybody knows that he doesn't give a damn about the people in #Gaza, whether they are Palestinian or Israeli/Jewish.
It was right to take it off, it's wrong to ever put it (back) on.
Wear a 🍉 badge instead!
Elyon Levy and Arsen #Ostrovsky … 🤣

#Hostage comparison: #Hamas vs. #Israel. Decide for yourself which one you'd chose if you had to. And for the record: yes, no one wants to be (or usually deserves to be) abducted, let alone children.

Cynically Holding Hostages is Part and Parcel of Russian Colonial Ethos
The history of #Russia holding foreign #hostage s dates back to the 16th century during Ivan the Terrible's reign. In 1575, Ivan the Terrible captured Swedish military commander, Jacob De La Gardie, and held him hostage for two months in order to gain power over Sweden. In 1602, Tsar Boris Godunov captured King Christian IV of Denmark in what became known as the “Long Steppe Hostage Crisis.” The Tsar demanded a large ransom, but Christian was released after two months due to the intervention of the ambassador from England.
In the 19th century, Russia held several high profile foreign hostages in a bid to influence foreign policy. In 1809, #Tsar Alexander I captured Archduke Ferdinand (later Emperor of Austria) on his way to Paris, in an attempt to prevent him from marrying Napoleon's step-daughter. The Tsar held the Archduke as a hostage until he agreed to send Russian troops to fight in the Russian-Turkish #War of 1828—1829.
In recent years, Russia has been accused of holding foreign hostages and prisoners of war to gain political and diplomatic leverage. In 2016 , Russia held #Ukrainian pilot Nadiya Savchenko as a hostage during the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine. In 2017, the Ukrainian government accused Russia of holding other Ukrainian soldiers hostage. In April 2018, the Russian government was accused of using Foreign hostages as bargaining chips in negotiations with other countries. In May 2018, a mass evacuation of Russian soldiers from Aleppo, Syria, was reportedly done in exchange for the release of two #Turkish prisoners held in Russia. Russia has also been accused of using foreign hostages as leverage in negotiations with other countries. In December 2019, two #Italian citizens were detained in Moscow on charges of espionage, and were held as hostages in what was seen as a diplomatic move to pressure #Rome into supporting #Moscow's position in the #Libyan conflict.
There are still several foreign hostages being held in Russia, for example #American-#Israeli Naama Issachar, who has been held in a Russian jail since October 2019 after attempting to smuggle a small amount of marijuana into the country. Another high profile hostage currently held in Russia is former marine Paul Whelan, who has been accused of espionage and held in a Moscow prison since 2018. Another high profile hostage held by Russia is Kahlid El-Masri, a #German-#Lebanese man who has been held in a prison camp in the #Komi Republic since 2011. Turkish-German journalist Deniz Yucel, has been held in pre-trial detention since February 2017 on suspicion of #terrorism and #espionage.
Sports figures held hostage by russia include #Olympic athletes, who have been detained in connection with doping violations and held in Russia despite calls from international organizations, including the International Olympic Committee, to free them. For example in 2016, Russian athletes were held in pre-trial detention in connection with an alleged system of state-sponsored #doping and were not allowed to leave the country. Another hostage in russia is American businessman Michael #Calvey, who has been held in a Moscow prison since February 2019 on charges of embezzlement. Calvey's case is seen as another example of Russia using foreign hostages as diplomatic leverage. German footballer Mesut #Ozil, was held in a Moscow #prison for two weeks in 2018 after being accused of engaging in public criticism of the Russian government. #Basketball player Dennis #Rodman, made several trips to North Korea in 2013, 2014 and 2017 and was detained in Russia during those trips. American Olympian and four-time world champion figure skater, Rudy Galindo, was detained by Russian authorities in January 2018, and forced to stay in the country until February of that year. #Polish ski jumper Kamil Stoch, was held in Russia for a week in February 2017 after being accused of doping violations. American ice dancer Maia #Shibutani, was held in a Moscow airport for over 24 hours in 2018. The U.S. State Department was eventually able to secure her release. Ice hockey player Alexander #Ovechkin, who was held in Russia for two months in 2020 after being accused of participating in a banned protest in Moscow. Ovechkin was eventually released, and the charges against him were dropped. American cross-country skier Jessica Diggins, was detained in Russia in January 2020 while traveling to the Sochi Olympics. Diggins was eventually released after the U.S. embassy provided her with a travel visa. American snowboarder Lindsey Jacobellis, was detained in #Russia for over a month in 2019. Jacobellis was eventually released after the U.S. #embassy was able to secure her release. American #cyclist Tim Johnson, was detained in 2016 in a case of mistaken identity. Johnson was eventually released after the U.S. embassy helped to secure his release. American mountain #biker Steve Smith, was detained in Russia in 2019 after being accused of participating in an illegal demonstration. Smith was eventually released after the U.S. embassy provided him with a travel visa. American figure skater #AshleyWagner, was detained in Moscow in 2016 after being accused of participating in an unauthorized demonstration. Wagner was eventually released after the U.S. embassy provided her with a travel visa. Wagner later wrote about her experience in her book, Unbalanced: The Fight for My Life. American figure skater #AdamRippon, was detained in a Moscow airport for nine hours in 2019. Rippon was eventually allowed to leave the country after the U.S. embassy intervened. American bobsledder Bree Schaaf, was detained in Moscow in 2017 after being accused of participating in an unauthorized demonstration. Schaaf was eventually allowed to leave the country after the U.S. embassy intervened.
Russian authorities have also been accused of holding foreign religious figures hostage for political gain. In 2018, Russian authorities detained American #pastor Andrew #Brunson on charges of espionage and terrorism and held him as a hostage for two years until he was eventually released in October 2020. In recent years, Russia has also been accused of holding foreign hostages in exchange for political and diplomatic gains. In March 2020, the US Department of State accused Russia of holding two American citizens hostage in an attempt to gain concessions in #
Syria. There have also been reports of Russian authorities detaining foreign citizens in exchange for political and diplomatic gains.
Overall, the history of Russia holding foreign hostages stretches back centuries and continues to this day. The Russian government has used foreign hostages as bargaining chips in negotiations with other countries and as a means of diplomatic leverage. Moreover, sports figures and other people have been held by Russia for political or criminal purposes. though the exact number of foreign hostages held by Russia is unknown, the practice of holding foreign hostages has been a common feature of Russian foreign policy for centuries.
