Israeli authorities have arrested nine Jerusalemites since the beginning of December 2014 for allegedly inciting anti-Israeli violence on their personal social network page ,Facebook, according to the Palestinian Info and News Agency "WAFA".
The Detainees and Ex-detainees Commission Lawyer Tariq Barghouthy said that the Israeli authorities’ adopt a policy of double standards in law enforcement; authorities frequently detain and indict Israeli Arabs over incitement, but turn a blind eye to Israelis who incite against Arabs.
An Israeli police spokesperson described this latest Israeli policy of arresting Jerusalemites over Facebook posts as the 'biggest move aimed at repressing this kind of incitement to violence on social networks and the Internet,' reported media sources.
As stressed by media outlets, "the Fourth Geneva Convention asserts the same right of the Palestinian citizens to armed resistance against occupying forces."
In this regard, Palestinian local media said "Israel is not only in breach of International Law by illegally occupying the land of the West Bank, but also now jailing those who express views in accordance with International Law," WAFA reported.
