Palestinians, as well as some left-wing Jews, are being suspended from studies, fired from jobs, or arrested at night — all because of social media posts.

Israel is just displacing, starving, and bombing 2 million civilians, how is that a 'war'?

I believe the term is ethnic cleansing or genocide.

The popular Palestinian singer Dalal Abu Amneh, who has over a million followers on social media, was also arrested on Monday over a social media post in Arabic from Oct. 7 that read: “There is no victor but God.”

Amneh was submitting a complaint at the Nazareth police station against right-wing activists who had sent her multiple threatening messages inciting violence against her and her family, when she received a call from her children: police officers from the Afula department were knocking at the door of their Nazareth home demanding to see her. After she spoke to them on the phone, the officers arrived at the police station in Nazareth and arrested her.

A reaction to a day like this, in which acts defined by international law as crimes against humanity were carried out by murderers, targeted at civilians, including adults and helpless babies, reminiscent of the Nazis’ actions against the Jews, can be interpreted with full plausibility as support for them.

I legit thought they were referring to Israeli war crimes here. Pretty bold for an Israeli institution to compare Israeli war crimes in Gaza to Nazi persecution of Jews.
