Former members of Israeli military intelligence’s Unit 8200 later went on to work in key positions at TikTok

Among other videos, it appears that the arrest of the 40-year-old came after a TikTok post that encouraged viewers to incorporate aspects of Palestinian culture and history into their holiday traditions, including the idea of highlighting Jesus as a Palestinian and supporting Palestinian businesses through gifts and donations.
The CPS described her "antisemitic views" as far exceeding the "boundary between freedom of expression and hate speech." Rayan was convicted of four offences under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, relating to the improper use of public electronic communications.
She was sentenced to 20 weeks' imprisonment, suspended for 18 months.
