Police arrested him in November 2023 and charged him with intent to commit treason. His crime was Facebook posts. He mourned civilians killed in Gaza, he criticized the Israeli military. He posted on October 8: "Horrific images are pouring in from Gaza. Entire families were wiped out... look what we do in revenge." Ten days later, the Petach Tikvah municipality fired him. Haaretz newspaper wrote an editorial. They said this was a time of witch hunts in Israel. They said he was a political tool used to send a message. The motive was to silence criticism of Israeli policy. Police ransacked his apartment. They took two laptops and six hard drives. They put him in solitary confinement in a prison in Jerusalem. He had cold showers, a tiny piece of soap, and no windows. The judge said if an Arab resident made the post, the danger would be clear. One investigator told him his posts were like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He asked if they ever read it. They didnt respond. This is the reality in Israel. If you say Palestinians are human beings, they put you in jail.
