This was in Amsterdam. All she said was "Free Palestine" at a pro-Israel rally. She was arrested within a second. I have seen hundreds of videos of Palestinian protests being disrupted by pro-Israeli activists. Not once have I seen them be arrested for simply shouting a slogan. What is it about these two words, "Free Palestine," that terrify so many in the West? The echo of complicity?
