A Nazareth court ruled on Wednesday that Israeli-Arab poet Dareen had called for the murder of Jews in a series of poems she posted on Facebook back in 2015.
Tatour had posted three poems on Facebook amid 2015's stabbing wave. Appearing before a background of Arab rioters throwing stones at Israeli security forces, Tatour read out loud a poem which included the lines "Resist, my people, resist them. / Resist the settler's robbery / And follow the caravan of martyrs."
According to the indictment, Tatour is responsible "for various publications that call for violent acts or terrorism" on social media and the "content, its exposure and the circumstances of its publication created a real possibility that acts of violence or terrorism will be committed".
According to Haaretz, Tatour said after the ruling that "the whole world will hear my story. The whole world will hear what Israel's democracy is. A democracy for Jews only. Only Arabs go to jail."
"The court said I am convicted of terrorism. If that's my terrorism, I give the world a terrorism of love."
Tatour's conviction was praised by Culture Minister Miri Regev (Likud), who called on Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon to defund the Jaffa Theatre, which had exhibited Tatour's work.
"The time has come to make order in those public budgets that are transferred to the institutions that are acting against the State of Israel," she stressed. "I will not rest until I bring about a change in this impossible reality."
