      Oh definitely, but “questionable treatment” goes too far in the other direction. She suffered physical and mental abuse and humiliation, not “some questionable treatment.” If she was a POW this would’ve been a war crime.

        I think we all agree on that. It’s just nice to make sure the truth is conveyed. I read that line in particular, and given Israel’s deeply troubling history, instantly worried about sexual assault.
