Bar Refaeli Responds to Penélope Cruz on Hostages and Prisoners

Israeli model and actress Bar Refaeli has publicly addressed Spanish actress Penélope Cruz via a tweet posted by the Spanish actress, highlighting the critical legal and moral distinctions between hostages and prisoners Otage et prisonnier: Bar Refaeli répond à Penélope Cruz. The public exchange centers on definitions surrounding individuals held in detention and the conditions of their confinement.

Distinction Between Prisoners and Hostages

Refaeli outlined specific differences in her response, stating, Les prisonniers palestiniens de guerre ne sont pas des otages. Tout comme dans n’importe quel autre pays, ils sont incarcérés pour avoir commis des crimes, souvent tuant des Juifs, ce qui reste un crime. Ils sont amenés devant la justice, condamnés légalement, et font leur peine en prison, avec des visites de la Croix Rouge et des appels de leurs familles.

To further illustrate the conditions of detention, Refaeli noted that Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar received medical treatment for a fatal brain tumor from an Israeli doctor while serving his sentence. She added that, tragically, the doctor’s nephew was subsequently murdered by Hamas during the attack orchestrated by Sinwar on October 7.

Contrasting Fates in Confinement

Emphasizing the contrast between the two groups, Refaeli asserted that Palestinian prisoners are never executed in prison, unlike specific named individuals. She listed Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Bipin Joshi, Ariel et Kfir Bibas (4 ans et 9 mois) et plusieurs autres.

The post also featured visual commentary regarding public figures, accompanied by text describing the left side of a photo as depicting a wealthy communist similar to Bardem, and the right side as portraying an honest and rational person.
