What she said wasn't even that positive. She said that during her capture she was beaten to the point of not being able to breathe well, but after that she was looked after well and got the same food and water as the fighters/her captors, and even got shampoo.

If a statement like this is enough to infuriate Israel, then that's pretty telling on their side

It's a story so unremarkable that it being reacted to this way just makes me wonder how Isntreal treats it's prisoners...

I have seen a single tweet by some random guy and it's being used as evidence that Israel officials are mad at her testimony. Fucking what? Is this the state of journalism?

Sadly yes, it's actually incredible and disgusting how many "articles" only have a single post on Twitter as a source.
