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.

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.
