Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill amends the Counter-Terrorism Law by adding an offense of identifying with a terrorist organization through publishing praise or group symbols, publicly or on social networks, punishable by up to three years in prison. In addition, the bill provides that anyone who violates this provision will bear tort liability toward every person who was exposed to the publication. The court must award compensation of at least 5,000 shekels without the need to prove damage, and it may reduce the amount taking into account the severity of the violation, deterrence and other factors. Part of the compensation will be transferred to the plaintiff and part to the State Treasury for compensating victims of hostile acts.
