Dareen Tatour, an Israeli Palestinian citizen, was sentenced by the Nazareth District court on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Tatour, 36, was convicted in May of online incitement to “terrorism” for a post on her social media accounts, in which she used a poem as the soundtrack to images of Palestinian protesters clashing with Israeli troops.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Palestinian poet, who has already served nearly three years in house arrest, was arrested in October 2015 after publishing the poem titled “Resist, my people, resist them” on her Facebook and YouTube accounts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

The indictment included a translation of the poem, with the lines: “I will not succumb to the ‘peaceful solution’ \/ Never lower my flags \/ Until I evict them from my land.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

“The content, its exposure and the circumstances of its publication created a real possibility that acts of violence or terrorism will be committed,” the indictment claimed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Following the sentencing, Tatour said she was not surprised by the court ruling.
\r\n“I expected prison and that’s what happened. I didn’t expect justice. The prosecution was political to begin with because I’m<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Palestinian, because it’s about free speech and I’m imprisoned because I'm Palestinian.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n
