AhlulBayt News Agency: A woman has been detained in the occupied Palestinian territories on “suspicion” of incitement after posting an obituary for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, celebrating his death.
The arrest was carried out in the central part of the occupied territories by the Israeli police’s Lahav 433 cyber unit, the police’s press service reported on Wednesday.
According to the police, the woman, in her 40s, posted an image designed as a mourning notice with a black border.
The text read, “With joy and great happiness, we announce the death of Israel’s executioner, terrorist, and oppressor, Benjamin Netanyahu. May his memory be cursed forever.”
‘Burial will be in the trash’
The post went on to announce Netanyahu’s pending burial place as “the trash,” before mockingly announcing a funeral on February 19, with condolences to be received on the Gaza Street in the holy occupied city of al-Quds and in Knesset (the Israeli parliament).
It also mentioned celebrations, including dancing and distribution of sweets, at the Carmel Yom Tov kiosk in the city of Tel Aviv.
The suspect also included a message for Netanyahu’s supporters, writing, “To all hypocrites and hesitators—this is my dream! Those who prefer to judge instead of act can get out of this post. Shame on you!”
“To all the idealistic people, who prefer to sit back and complain about their bitter fate instead of gathering their will into a fist and fighting... And to all the Bibists—you can safely join the executioner!” she added, referring to those who sympathize with Netanyahu, also called “Bibi.”
It is not the first time the Israeli police have detained individuals over alleged incitement. Similar social media posts in the past have led to criminal cases and, in some instances, court charges.
However, the same authorities have repeatedly turned a blind eye to violent rhetoric from Netanyahu’s supporters, many of whom have openly called for the genocide of Palestinians.
Observers say such developments highlight growing dissent among the regime’s illegal settlers against Netanyahu’s self-willed policies, marked by genocide, widespread war crimes, and crimes against humanity against the peoples of the region, including Palestinians.
Israeli officials have often cracked down on expressions of dissent against Netanyahu.
During his tenure, the Israeli regime has repeatedly bombed civilian areas in the Gaza Strip, killing tens of thousands, mostly women and children.
His orders led to a 2006 war on Gaza, which left around 1,200 Palestinians dead, three more subsequent deadly wars, and the most recent 15-month-plus brutal bombings of refugee camps, hospitals, and residential areas during the regime’s war of genocide against the coastal sliver that has claimed the lives of close to 48,300 Palestinians.
Netanyahu’s track record of massacres extends beyond the Palestinian territories.
During the regime’s 2000 and 2006 wars against Lebanon, Israeli forces carried out indiscriminate bombings, causing the deaths of around 2,300 Lebanese civilians.
The widespread destruction of Lebanese infrastructure and the use of internationally banned cluster munitions as well as the regime’s intensified deadly attacks against the country that ran concomitantly with the Gaza war, killing more than 3,000 Lebanese, solidified Netanyahu’s reputation as a war criminal in the eyes of international human rights organizations.
