      I don’t think war criminals & mass murderers care about civil liberties.

      they don’t care about human rights either:

      Shalhoub-Kevorkian, who is in her 60s, was strip-searched, handcuffed so tightly it caused pain, denied access to food, water and medication for several hours, and held in a cold cell without adequate clothing or blankets.

    Yes but protestors are a threat to Israel’s investments so I’m afraid your civil liberties don’t matter

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Prof Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian was detained by police on the afternoon of 17 April over comments made on a podcast more than a month earlier and held overnight in conditions her lawyers described as “terrible” and designed to humiliate.

    Although there have been widespread detentions of Palestinian citizens of Israel who publicly criticised the war in Gaza, this is the first time an academic has been targeted over speech related to their work.

    When police arrested her, they confiscated books and posters from her home and during interrogation she was questioned extensively about her academic work, including articles published years ago, Jabareen said.

    Shalhoub-Kevorkian, who is in her 60s, was strip-searched, handcuffed so tightly it caused pain, denied access to food, water and medication for several hours, and held in a cold cell without adequate clothing or blankets.

    Hundreds of Palestinian citizens of Israel have been arrested and jailed, or lost jobs or access to education, because of social media posts or comments condemning the military campaign.

    The arrest of Shalhoub-Kevorkian was designed not only to intimidate her, but to stifle criticism of the war, Jabareen said, and the decision on whether to move forward would be an indicator of the country’s respect for basic freedoms.
