A 16-year-old girl has been sentenced to 30 days of conditional imprisonment for praising Hamas's attacks on Israel, according to Ritzau.

Under an article titled "Live: Israel attacked with missiles" on Ekstra Bladet's Facebook page, the girl wrote: "Yass," followed by a heart-eye emoji and the Palestinian flag.

The girl, who has family in the conflict-affected area, stated in Aalborg court that she had not read the article.

"I just wanted to show support for Palestine—meaning the civilians. I didn't know Hamas was behind it," she said in court.

She is considering whether to appeal the case to the high court.

    “Supporting” Hamas / Al-Qassam Brigades (or Hezbollah, or the PFLP, etc) is functionally meaningless in Europe and North America. You can’t send them weapons or money )god I wish). You can’t go there and fight with them. You can’t send them food. Your words of “support” can’t actually do anything (saying this as someone who is 110% supportive of those groups mentioned above). We have no way of affecting the outcome. Saying you support Hamas right now is like saying you support the Jacobites at Culloden. It doesn’t actually do anything.

    I totally agree. I just meant support in the lib way where they think typing "slava ukraini" does anything. Lib support you know.

    Edit: Sorry thought your comment was in response to this

      Right I mean, I am a westerner who “supports” Hamas. I put an Al-Qassam Brigades wallpaper on my computer. Recognizing that our support can’t do anything isn’t a criticism, it’s just a factual statement of the situation we are in at the moment. I think the fact that some governments are coming down hard on this “support” shows how nervous they are about these sentiments “breaching containment”.
