A Palestinian student deleted her social media. Israel revoked her permit
Police accused a West Bank medical student at an Israeli hospital of 'blocking' friends online. Weeks later, she was barred from returning.
“They asked me why I didn’t approve [friend requests], and why I deleted and blocked people on Facebook and Instagram,”
What an insane thing to be questioned about by police.
Welcome to Palestine. In a way she's lucky she wasn't imprisoned just for being Palestinian.
where is the "literally 1984" crowd now
Literally 1984ed
Israeli apologists love to remind us how democratic Israel is. This is China-levels of censorship.
Since the Hamas-led October 7 attack, Israeli authorities have conducted a major crackdown on freedom of expression, usually in relation to social media posts. Dozens of Palestinian citizens of Israel and residents of Jerusalem have been arrested for voicing opposition to the war, while Israel’s academic institutions have suspended and dismissed students and faculty members alike for similar offenses. The Knesset also voted to amend Israel’s Counterterrorism Law, enabling unprecedented surveillance against Palestinians.
Jailing people for speaking out against the war? Sounds like Russia. I think Genocide Joe has backed the wrong side in the conflict.
It would be pretty difficult to do that considering the US government has been giving Israel billions a year in aid a long time before Joe Biden was President, and the vast majority of other US politicians support Israel as well. But sure, blame it on Biden I guess, maybe we can elect Trump, who will probably be asking his staff "why can't we just kill all the Palestinians with the nuclear?"
There's a lot Biden could have done- and a fair amount that he could simply have not done.
Like, he could not vow unconditional support for genocidal maniacs. but, you know, details are unimportant. That other politicians also support Israel doesn't mean it's inappropriate to call Biden out for that.
Israel makes Russia look humane
The christofascist elite of the US and the zionist Jewish elite are good friends since decades ago, did you really believe the president of the US it's free to do whatever he wants? He have owners and the interests of the owners can't be touched.
"The bastion of democracy in the middle east." 🙃
If you look at the bottom, you see that Knesset has a Palestinian member who is allowed to talk about this issue. It's not perfect (basic human rights should be in the constitution and absolute) but it is a lot better than how this would go on any of Israel's neighbors.
Apartheid state apartheid’s
I love how you don't see the Zionists on posts like these.
Because there is nothing to go off?
The entire story is anonymized. No way to verify.
And israel might be shit at freedom of speech but better than all of Palestine on that front. If you are pointing out two evils, israel is the lesser one lol
Not agreeing on comparing the evils, but there is a true point in that such stories are hard to verify. We should remember that regardless of our stances in the conflict.
While I’m aware this story happened in a different context: Anyone who has a „wrong“ sounding name is invited to try their luck at Tel Aviv Airport. Bonus points if you’re not white. Extra bonus points if solo traveling female. There’s nothing special about this story in a sense that they do these kinds of interrogations every day, including stalking people’s social media & deporting people critical of the Israeli government.
Facebook jail irl
Right to jail. Right away.
"free speech"
This is a weird story from a weird source. Not saying it isn't true but this is one of those posts that makes me want to know the source a bit better before Believing anything about it
But you see it's not apartheid because she's not a citizen of Israel. And this is just one more isolated case of a few bad apples.
Also why did she block them? Did she have something to hide?
And then even if she has nothing to hide, why was she mean and hurt the police's feelings?
And then finally, she's a filthy Arab, how dare she wants to become a doctor? She will probably use scalpels to murder honest Israelis.
/S
Nazi's gonna Nazi
How the fuck is it anyone's business what someone does with their own social media account? Also, what would have happened if she had never even made account there?
