Between Gaza Syndrome and Tel Aviv Syndrome

"Stockholm syndrome is a psychological phenomenon that occurs when a hostage sympathizes with, or cooperates with, his enemy, or someone who has wronged him in some way, or shows some signs of loyalty to him, such as when the kidnapped person sympathizes with the kidnapper. It is also called the bond of captivity or kidnapping, and it became famous in 1973, where the hostage shows sympathy, harmony, and positive feelings towards the kidnapper or captor, to the point of defending him and showing solidarity with him" (from Wikipedia).

Yesterday, live on air, the Israeli prisoner's kiss on the handover platform to one of the resistance members came in the spontaneous manner that we saw, and he was not forced to do it, which further clarifies and explains the Stockholm Syndrome in showing positive feelings towards the kidnapper. At the same time, it shows the extent of the relationship that existed throughout the period of captivity, and the nature of the care and attention between the captor and the prisoner.

Another syndrome that appeared in contrast to the Gaza syndrome is the Tel Aviv syndrome, where we saw prisoners being forced to wear clothes with slogans written on them threatening and threatening the released Palestinians with revenge, killing and eliminating them, in addition to what we saw of abuse, severe beatings, solitary confinement, and the spread of diseases without treatment or respect for international and humanitarian law, with unprecedented brutality. This is the syndrome of hatred, animosity and savagery that the occupation soldiers send, making the Tel Aviv syndrome the opposite of the Gaza syndrome.

What the camera documented this Saturday, and every Saturday, makes the extremist government wish the deal had been done all at once and not in stages and weeks, so it releases a picture every Saturday to make Netanyahu and his government depressed.

Between two contradictory syndromes, one calling for brutality and killing, and the other calling for life and coexistence, and with a kiss between the prisoner and his captor, the curtain falls on the first stage of the deal, and a stage of the truce ends, so that the discussion returns again about the second stage of the deal, and opinions circulate between supporters and opponents, and between those who want to return to war and those who want to continue stopping it according to the vision of reconstruction and building and rehabilitating everything that the war machine destroyed.
