After having already served nearly three years under house arrest, on Tuesday, an Israeli court has sentenced Palestinian poetess and writer Dareen Tatour, 36, to five months in prison for "inciting terrorism" in a poem she posted on social media in 2015.

Tatour’s poem "Resist, My People, Resist Them" tells a story of three Palestinian victims of the Israeli occupation: Mohammed Abu Khdeir, a teen who was kidnapped and burned to death by three Israeli settlers in Jerusalem in 2014; Hadeel al-Hashlamoun, 18, who was shot by Israeli troops in Hebron city; and 18-month-old Ali Dawabsheh, who was burned alive in the fire with his parents in an arson attack by Israeli settlers in July 2015, in Duma, in the West Bank.
