        That’s why I said mostly.

        She’s unharmed enough to give that speech in relatively good spirits, and even smiled a little.

          She didn’t seem particularly happy or well treated. Pretty angry even. But she’s such a trooper that she changed the topic of her own suffering to the suffering of Palestinians.
