No amount of "Jihadi love" poems are enough to hide the evident:That is what Israel says.A Poet Behind Bars, by #DareenTatour Translated by Tariq al Haydar In prison, I met people too numerous to count: Killer and criminal, thief and liar, the honest and those who disbelieve, the lost and confused, the wretched and the hungry. Then, the sick of my homeland, born out of pain, refused to go along with injustice until they became children whose innocence was violated. The world’s compulsion left them stunned. They grew older. No, their sadness grew, strengthening with repression, like roses in salted soil. They embraced love without fear, and were condemned for declaring, “We love the land endlessly,” oblivious to their deeds… So their love freed them. See, prison is for lovers. I interrogated my soul during moments of doubt and distraction: “What of your crime?” Its meaning escapes me now. I said the thing and revealed my thoughts; I wrote about the current injustice, wishes in ink, a poem I wrote... The charge has worn my body, from my toes to the top of my head, for I am a poet in prison, a poet in the land of art. I am accused of words, my pen the instrument. Ink— blood of the heart— bears witness and reads the charges. Listen, my destiny, my life, to what the judge said: A poem stands accused, my poem morphs into a crime. In the land of freedom, the artist’s fate is prison. Written on November 2, 2015, Jelemeh Prison, the day I received the indictment.
What love?
She wanted to be the next Jihadi martyr and openly incited others to do so.
Was denied that privilege, caught beforehand - now she writes about "love" from her cell in the jail.
Charles Manson wrote poetry as well...
It was her who posted "I want to be the next martyr", not Israel.
It was her who wrote "follow the caravans of martyrs", "resist the peaceful solution" - not Israel.
It was You, not Israel, who posted Palestinian videos of open calls to go murder Jews and go die together.
