Tayeh, who has become a prominent leader of the protest movement after the Hamas attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, and Israel’s 15-month war on Gaza, repeatedly said “all Zionists are terrorists”.
On Friday, police charged Tayeh with four counts of “using insulting words in public” for uttering the statement four times during a May rally.
The punishment is up to two months in prison for a first offence and six months for three or more offences.

Just complaining in the media, IIRC. Nothing super violent and obviously not anything that would justify the shit that’s been done to him lately.
