Israeli Arab poet convicted of inciting violence, supporting terror
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Nazareth District Court convicts an Arab Israeli poet of incitement to violence and support for terrorist organizations for social media posts she made during a wave of Israeli-Palestinian violence two years ago.
In delivering its verdict, the court says Tatour’s poem incited violence, adding that free expression has limits. Tatour was also convicted of supporting a terror group.
She has maintained her poem was not a call to violence.
Israel says that a two year-long outburst of attacks that began in 2015 was fueled by Palestinian incitement spread on social media.
