SaltWire's Atlantic regional weather forecast for October 20, 2023 | SaltWireJERUSALEM - When Palestinian singer and neuroscientist Dalal Abu Amneh filed a complaint with Israeli police over death threats she had received following a social media post, she didn't expect to be the one put in jail.
Police said Abu Amneh, who has over 300,000 followers on Instagram, was promoting hate speech and incitement, something she denies. "Whoever wants to be a citizen of the state of Israel, ahlan wa sahlan . Whoever wants to identify with Gaza is welcome, I will put them on a bus headed there," Shabtai said in a video message.
Israeli authorities are interpreting any sympathy for the people of Gaza as support for terror, she said. The centre said it knows of at least 83 students who are facing disciplinary action at universities and that it received over 40 reports from employees who are at risk of being fired for social media posts expressing solidarity with Gaza.
Levy said 96 people were being investigated and 63 of them had been detained -"in some cases, within 40 minutes of the publication of a post".
