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.
- muh
- This is the kinda shit I point to when I wanna talk about journalists fetishization of "being objective" makes them blind to their own biases, the biases of their sources and the fact they are merely propagandists.

“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.
The fact that governments are taking actions like this shows they really do see not just the words but the thoughts and sentiments of the people (especially young people, not because they are young but because of their general opinions) as a threat. Controlling the narrative is critical. It used to be they could control the news media easily, but social media is so much harder for them to keep a lid on. Of course they’re mostly successful at it, but even if they do have functional control over Facebook, Twitter et al it’s not as tight as the control they have over traditional media. Actions like the one here are how they plan on controlling the narrative, along with banning platforms that don’t hand over censorship control to western governments.

I totally agree. I just meant support in the lib way where they think typing "slava ukraini" does anything. Lib support you know.
She just wanted to make sure we include Schleswig-Holstein in the roast as rightful Danish clay ofc ofc.
Where are all those free speech warriors from 2016 who were defending the alt-rights hateful shit?
Most likely saying "Yassss" under the news about arrest.
listen i am all for praising missile attacks on israel but like
"I just wanted to show support for Palestine—meaning the civilians. I didn't know Hamas was behind it," she said in court.
did she think the civilians fired the missiles or
There's this game going on where people condemn hamas but celebrate palestinian resistance while ignoring that almost all of that is hamas. They're separating the two in their head in order to hold both ideas simultaneously so they're not "bad" for supporting hamas because everyone says that's a bad thing.
This comes from a lack of people being willing to accept imperfect resistance, and also the exceptional power of the western media propaganda.
I mean, she's also in a current legal battle for her future right now. I dunno about y'all but I'd sing whatever song my lawyer told me to. I don't feel as though me standing by my beliefs in this situation would particularly benefit anyone.
Yeah fair but this isn't unique to the young ones, in fact I would argue that the younger people often have better views on the realities of resistance than many of the older
Every lib loves to fellate themselves talking about "nuance" which is just a long winded way of saying "status quo good"
Real nuance is supporting Hamas. Real nuance is supporting Iran and Russia in their war agianst the US. The concept of critical support would give libs an aneurism.
"But you see, in le ebil SeeSeePee and Pootin's RuZZia, they arrest you for thoughtcrimes. Unlike here in the enlightened west, Pootin will arrest you if you protest in Red Sqaure, unlike in DC
"Ah, butt yuo see, ham ass are terrorists, unlike the wholesome keanu chungus East Turkestan Islamic Movement.
I've seen people write so much heinous shit about palestinians, but god forbid you lightly approve of a military action against Israel. This makes me feel like I'm insane. I still have to hear people talk about "nuance" how the fuck can they be so blind to how we're getting forcefed the most obvious propaganda in the world?
Openly praising state sponsored terrorist attacks on major news media stations: I sleep
