In Israel, support for Gaza is support for terrorism

Reporting from Amman, Jordan

Al Jazeera is reporting from outside Israel because it has been banned by the Israeli government.

One law allows for the deportation of citizens of Israel of Palestinian descent who happen to be family members of people who have attacked Israel or had planned to attack Israel. They would be deported if they were deemed to have had prior knowledge or if they had expressed sympathy with the act or with so-called terrorist organisations.

All Palestinian factions are labelled as terrorist organisations by Israel.

Any expression of sympathy with the victims of the war in Gaza has been labelled as an expression of support for terror, especially in the past year.

The other law targets Palestinian schools in occupied East Jerusalem, which Israel has annexed illegally, as well as schools inside Israel proper, run by Palestinian citizens of Israel.

Any expression of Palestinian identity, or support for Palestinian aspirations, any use of national symbols would be deemed in a very sweeping, very elastic notion of terrorism, those teachers would be sacked without prior notice.

The Ministry of Education could also defund the schools. The Association for Civil Rights in Israel has sounded the alarm, saying that this bill against teachers in particular opens the way for Palestinian teachers to be targets for persecution

It might be worth editing the title as at the moment it reads as if this is a position that you are promoting…
