Palestine Today

It is all based on political opinion.

Meh. Incitement to murder or commit a felony or disrupt public order is not "political opinion". Belief that women should be able to ride bicycles is.

Activists bring London commuters face-to-face with Ahed Tamimi

Commuters across London came face-to-face with the occupation on Thursday, after local activist groups put up posters at bus stops around the city calling for the release of Ahed Tamimi. The project — conceived and executed by London Palestine Action and Protest Stencil — hit London’s streets nine days after Israeli soldiers took Ahed, 16, from her Nabi Saleh home in the middle of the night, and is the latest in a series of global protests against the arrest.

+972's Story of the Year: The trial of Dareen Tatour

The surreal arrest and trial of a Palestinian poet symbolizes a crackdown on free speech, surveillance on social media, and rising authoritarian trends in Israel. +972’s Story of the Year for 2017.

For the past year and half, a strange and disturbing drama has been playing out in a Haifa courtroom. In the defendant’s seat is a poet, on trial for a political poem she wrote, performed, and published on Facebook. Whether she goes to prison for publishing that poem rests largely on how the judge ultimately interprets a few words translated by a policeman whose main qualification is that he studied Arabic literature in high school.

Dareen Tatour, 35, is a Palestinian citizen of Israel from the town of Reineh, just outside of Nazareth. Her poem, “Qawem Ya Sha’abi, Qawemhum” (“Resist my people, resist them”), was published in 2015, at the height of Palestinian protests across Israel and the West Bank and a wave of so-called lone wolf stabbing and vehicular attacks against Israeli security forces and civilians, largely in Jerusalem and Hebron. A few days later, police stormed her house and arrested her in the middle of the night. She spent three months in prison and has been under house arrest ever since, pending the conclusion of her trial.

Oh so now incitement to violence is poetry...
and Antifa attacks are a ballet of peace?

And she is an Israeli citizen. What IS Israel to do with a hostile population like this? What would Arab Palestine do with a hostile Jewish population intent on dissolving Palestine and removing the Arabs there?

Israel should start using Russian, Turkish or Chinese tactics. I think that is what Tinmore is suggesting. Arresting someone at night is apparently too mild.

Actually, Israel's actions are so third world where people fear that "midnight knock.".

See her smile. This is the greatest role of her Pallywood career!

Gideon Levy eviscerates the morality of Israelis in the twisted world where activists stay silent when a disabled man is gunned down, and feminists and child advocates say little when 16-year-old Ahed Tamimi is grabbed and arrested in the middle of the night for standing up to occupation.

“And what would you have felt if soldiers from a foreign army had invaded your home at night, kidnapped your daughter from her bed before your very eyes, handcuffed and arrested her for a lengthy period, simply because she slapped the soldier who invaded her home, and slapped the occupation, which deserves far more than slaps?”

And if Ahed Tamimi Were Your Daughter?

How is it that Israelis are totally indifferent to the plight of the blond girl behind bars who could easily be their child?

A typical Israeli take on the incident. Are there people any more despicable?

"Ben Caspit, a journalist for the Maariv daily, praised the soldiers for not reacting, but called for retaliation against the Tamimi family.

"In the case of the girls, we should exact a price at some other opportunity, in the dark, without witnesses and cameras," he wrote.

Nice. Play the race card with reference to the caucasian looking juvenile delinquent.

It appears the Israeli government pressured Twitter to delete the girl's account, too.

Israel is a loser on the issues so it wants to close down any discussion.
