The image shows terrorist Zakariya Zubeidi, who was involved in numerous terror attacks and was one of six terrorist prisoners who broke out of Gilboa Prison – see note below. Zubeidi was rearrested near Nazareth.
Text on image: “[Zakariya] Zubeidi to the Israeli judge: The people of Nazareth are our people, and we did not enter any of their houses, not out of fear of them but rather out of fear for them.

Zoabi’s posted text: “‘Out of fear for us’…
If he could have really said something
They broke his leg and nicknamed him, and prevented him from medical treatment
And they are committing all the international crimes to take revenge on an individual act of heroism (refers to six terrorist prisoners escaping from Gilboa Prison; see note below -Ed.)
That broke the image of absolute power.
What the prisoners did – they dug into the undefeated equation of power
And what Israel is doing is to prevent this personal act of heroism from becoming a collective project.
There are acts of heroism and there are acts of treason
And life is necessarily wider than the vocabulary
Life is always more extensive than language.”
