An Israeli university professor has declared a hunger strike in protest at her arrest for calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “traitor”, according to Israeli media.

The Times of Israel reported on Tuesday that Yolanda Yavor, a lecturer at Tel Aviv University and a resident of Or Akiva in northern Israel, was detained on Friday on suspicion of “incitement to violence” over posts she published on Facebook targeting Netanyahu and other officials.

Yavor is currently being held at the Kishon detention facility in northern Israel. Her lawyer, who was not named, told the newspaper that the investigation is “politically motivated”, adding that she “poses no danger” and that her continued detention “endangers her life”.

According to the report, Yavor was arrested after urging a “rebellion” against Netanyahu, writing: “The only option is to fight the traitor, the mouthpieces and the damned collaborators with all our might and by all means – or we cease to exist.”

The Prime Minister’s Office has not commented on the arrest. Netanyahu has repeatedly claimed in recent years that he and his family are the targets of incitement.

He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

How a Mail on Sunday Story About a Non-Existent ‘Migrant Crime Wave’ Led to an Anti-Migrant Protest

‘My concern is the safety of bringing fascism to my neighborhood.’

Earlier this month, the Mail on Sunday claimed to reveal “the shocking scale of serious crime committed by migrants living in hotels in communities across Britain”.

The newspaper’s investigation claimed that the scale of a “migrant crime wave” had “until now been unknown”. It showed that at least 312 asylum seekers have been charged with an “astonishing” 708 alleged criminal offences in just three years.

The investigation was endorsed by shadow home secretary Chris Philp. Scratch its surface and all it reveals is the prejudice of the Mail, campaigners say.

They point out that the Mail’s figures include innocent people who’ve been acquitted, as well as those yet to be found guilty of any crime. They add that the 312 who’ve been charged represent a fraction of the tens of thousands of people who have passed through asylum accommodation in the three years reported on by the Mail.

“Describing this as a ‘migrant crime wave’ is not only completely dishonest but incredibly dangerous, at a time when families forced to live in asylum hotels are being threatened on their doorstep by violent crowds,” Nathan Phillips, head of campaigns at migrant charity Asylum Matters, told Novara Media.

By this point, it was too late. The Mail’s scaremongering appears to have had a direct role in sparking at least one anti-migrant protest, due to take place on Saturday. The protest has been endorsed by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon AKA Tommy Robinson, currently in Tenerife while police investigate his alleged assault of a man at St Pancras station.

Alongside its piece on the migrant “crime wave”, the Mail published an accompanying report focusing on the number of crimes linked to one hotel that also houses asylum seekers: the Barbican Thistle in Islington, north London. The day after the article was published, a Facebook group sprang up organising a protest at the accommodation, carrying the Mail’s headline as its header image.

The Mail’s report on the Barbican Thistle said that 41 residents of the hotel had been charged with 90 crimes over the past three years. Once again, the sensationalist framing only told part of the story. A coalition of local residents, community groups and anti-racist campaigners who are opposing Saturday’s demonstration called the Mail’s claims “inflammatory, misleading, and politically motivated.”
