No one said
maintaining an illegal occupation was easy. You have to make sure the
imprisoned and oppressed natives don't get too riled up. There are no easy
answers. The occupation creates a culture of resistance - it's natural for
people to be want to be free and for some to fight for it - and therefore for
Israel to claim what is happening is a case of "incitement" misses
the mark completely. Social media is
another tool but the problem is not Facebook or Twitter - it's the occupation
stupid!!

The
Palestinian Detainees Committee has reported, Wednesday, that the Israeli
Authorities have kidnapped 130 Palestinians, in 2015, for social media
activities, deemed by Israel to be “incitement.”
The
Committee said 27 of the detained Palestinians faced “incitement and supporting
terrorist groups” charges in Israeli courts, and many others were imprisoned
under Administrative Detention orders, without trial. Most of the arrests were
focused in occupied Jerusalem, especially due to the escalating Israeli
violations, demolition of homes and ongoing attacks against worshipers in the
Al-Aqsa Mosque, including the repeated invasions and provocative tours into the
holy site.“Such arrests and violations are carried out while Israel continues
to ignore racist Israeli social media posts, photos and statements by
extremists who openly call for killing the Arabs, for executing them and for
removing them out of their homeland.”
The Israeli
army and police also targeted Palestinians who expressed solidarity with
families of Palestinians, killed by soldiers and settlers, the detainees and
the wounded, in addition to those who voicing opposition to Israel’s home
demolition policies. The Committee further stated that Israel did not only
arrest social media activists, but also forced many of them out of their city,
Jerusalem, for different periods, in addition to imposing high fines, and
issuing many house arrest orders
