“We must always defend the only Democracy in the Middle East”
This is Entisar Hijaze, she’s a 23 year old teacher from Nazareth.
Late last night Entisar’s home was raided and she was blindfolded, handcuffed and arrested for the grave crime of sharing a TikTok memory.
I’m not kidding. Entisar was arrested and is being held in prison for at least 3 days bc she shared a memory on TikTok yesterday from 1 year ago.
According to National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir this video is evidence of Entisar “celebrating Hamas’ attack”
According to the asshats who run our govt, democracy is when fat elected slobs like Ben-Gvir take innocent songs like Charlie Puth’s “Betty Boop,” rename it to lie about the lyrics and then order his private army of goons to conduct midnight raids on the homes of school teachers bc they use that song in one of their TikTok videos.
Here’s the lyrics to the song Ben-Gvir and the Israeli police say is inciting violence.
Entisar’s **entire** TikTok is filled with nothing but upbeat, positive content, teaching children about animals.
Only an absolute psychopath could have looked at her page and thought this woman was anything but a sweet school teacher.
But in some ways that’s really the whole point of stunts like this from Ben-Gvir, isn’t it?
This is just his way of reminding every Arab in Israel that it doesn’t matter how “perfect” they are: they’re never safe, they should never get comfortable.
This is what your tax dollars are funding.
This is what the Zionist politicians who run our government want to send American boys to fight and die for.
This is Democracy in the Middle East.
Yes, a very important point. Entisar Hijaze is an Israeli citizen.
This woman is being held under Israel’s “administrative detention” policy.
Israel is holding over 3,000 prisoners being administrative detention.
These people get no charges, no trial and no sentencing. They are held as long as Israel feels like it with no rights whatsoever.
You would know that if you’d stop drinking the kool aid The Five pours in your cup every evening.
