What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Counter-Terrorism Law (5776-2016) by removing certain conditions from the definition of the offense. According to the proposed amendment, any identification with a terrorist organization, expression of sympathy for terrorism, words of praise for terrorists, and waving flags of a terrorist organization will be defined as criminal offenses with a penalty set in the law, regardless of the circumstances of the publication or the existence of a real possibility of an act of terrorism being carried out. The proposal emphasizes that this is a response to waves of incitement to carry out acts of terrorism and activities of identification with terrorist organizations on social media.
