The story of Dareen Tatour is the story of Falasteen
Everything about the trial of Dareen Tatour was like fiction. Everything required the willing suspension of disbelief.
From the opening pages, it was impossible to digest the premise that an unknown young poet from a small town in the Galilee would be hauled off by Israeli police and border guards for a smattering of posts on the internet.
By page two, the story became more and more farfetched. What seasoned, judicious reader could buy into the idea that the protagonist would be interrogated, imprisoned, and criminally charged for saying the same things that millions of people around the world say every single day, only with more urgency and flair?

Dareen Tatour joins eminent Palestinian writers persecuted by Israel
An Israeli court sentenced Palestinian poet Dareen Tatour to five months in prison on Tuesday over a handful of social media posts and a poem.
Tatour was convicted for “incitement to violence” and “support of terrorist organizations” on 3 May.
“I expected prison, and unfortunately there is prison,” Tatour told Al Jazeera following the sentencing.
“There is nothing surprising. This is an Israeli court and there is no justice in an Israeli court when the accused is Palestinian.”
“My trial was political right from the start,” Tatour added.
Tatour, 36, is from the Arab village of Reineh near Nazareth.
She was first arrested in October 2015 over social media posts and a poem called “Resist, My People, Resist Them.”

Each country's laws are different.
In the United States, it is a matter of an "overt act" → if one or more of such persons do any overt act to effect (intimidation, coercion, influence policy) the object of the conspiracy is subject to:
A: fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both so fined and so imprisoned.
