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.

- 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.

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”.
