    I was just about to write "Stockholm syndrome' and I kid you not, the term came out of the guests mouth. Clinically (I'm a clinical therapist), there are 'trauma bonds' all over the place here. People can bond to each other during traumatic experiences, meaning, the traumatic event is what bonds them together, and it's extremely difficult to break these bonds. I hope this guest is finding the psychological help that is needed for him to heal. And, in order to heal, one has to leave the environment in which one is wounded.

      I couldn't either. The thought is harrowing. It is Day 436 for the remaining hostages, if alive, wherever they may be and whomever may be holding them. Americans included. I think about them every day. Especially Kfir Bibas, the 8 month old (at the time). It is also long enough that the women we saw on the news being separated by who was able to procreate, to have gotten pregnant AND given birth. It's just awful to imagine. Just as the stories of the surgeries performed by veterinarians on the poor injured people who got out during the first wave and told us the stories of their time being held. It's all beyond comprehension.
      Listening to these stories makes me feel like he is speaking as it is an out of body experience for him. Maybe that is the only way he can cope.

    This is so revelatory on how children are raised in the Al-Qaeda cult it is not optional but to sumbit to the cult, and learn how to torture from age 6. Mossab Yousef son of the founder of Hamas in Gaza, has been through the same process as a child though doesn't expose it as explicity as Theo Padnos. Who survived deadly conditions in a Syrian prison. However, T Padnos still has the peculiarity to remain in contact with his torturers to glean information on how the regime is going to unfold in the Levant Region??? Is that the reason?. It would be very interesting for him to meet Mosab Hassan Yousef ex Hamas operative who was deprogrammed, worked for the Mossad, became a Christian and received refuge in the USA.

      How is that any different? Hamas and their Gazan civilian friends are jihadists. They are Isis; they are Al Qaeda. They are all one and the same!!! Islamic fanatical fascists!!!

      10/7 was led by jihadists. Raad Hamas' charter, there's NO ambiguity.

      Michael knows where he was going. Oct 7th was committed by jihadists that were raised in the environment he describes. The children are taught to torture people.

    What he's describing is the Stockholm Syndrome where the person being tortured gains an appreciation for those who are torturing them as their caregivers. A real twist of sanity. They come to believe they deserve to be abused.

    It is true that HTS had prisons. However even before 2020, that what was happening in HTS prisons wasnt even 1% of what Assad's prisons were.
    After that they substantially eased the torture and interrogation.
    There are mistakes of every group even if they represent the right cause ❤
    If journalists like him were in Seydnaya nobody wouldnt hear of him and witnesses would be jailed.
