Abu Amneh posted a Palestinian flag emoji with the words"There is no victor but God", a Muslim phrase. The post has since been taken down. "Whoever wants to be a citizen of the state of Israel, ahlan wa sahlan . Whoever wants to identify with Gaza is welcome, I will put them on a bus headed there," Shabtai said in a video message.
"We're being forced to silence ourselves because being Palestinian has become a crime," said Baker."Before, we would be called a fifth column for such statements, but at least we weren't imprisoned. That's the escalation."
