    Imma need a hardcore source for this. Not because I doubt it, but because I’d like to include it in an essay

        It’s the ‘arrested for celebrating’ part that we want a source for and I didn’t see any in this article about it. Just seems very odd Israel would admit such a thing, so if they did I want a solid source to share with others.

          You could literally use google and find lots of stories talking about it. Here is a snippet from just one.

          THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT narrative surrounding the Palestinian prisoners being released during this temporary ceasefire is both insidious and dishonest. Interior Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has banned Palestinians from celebrating their release. “My instructions are clear: there are to be no expressions of joy,” he said. “Expressions of joy are equivalent to backing terrorism, victory celebrations give backing to those human scum, for those Nazis.” He told Israeli police to deploy an “iron fist” to enforce his edict. https://theintercept.com/2023/11/26/palestine-israel-prisoners/

          That is pretty fuckin clear.

            My instructions are clear: there are to be no expressions of joy,” he said. “Expressions of joy are equivalent to backing terrorism"

            Wow. That is cartoonishly dystopian.

              Totally not channeling his inner Nazi… Yet there are still shitbags here twisting themselves in knots to defend everything Israel does.

              Ben Gvir is a special kind of evil, but unfortunately not so uncommon in the Israeli government.

            “this source is untrustworthy”

            “WOAH CALM THE FUCK DOWN JESUS CHRIST WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU”

              No, they’re saying that’s a dumb response because it’s backed by multiple outlets. Sure one way be biased so… Do your own research. Or complain that it wasn’t handed to you tied up with a bow.

                That’s great but when they’re being calm and you’re being dramatic, maybe have a moment of self reflection before the pot tries to call the kettle black

              Hey look!
              It’s one of the shitbags I was mentioning in another comment!

              Just like clockwork to goosestep along with Ben Gvir.
