Israeli Haaretz newspaper reported on Sunday that Israeli Police mistakenly arrested a Palestinian worker last week because they relied on automatic translation software to translate a post he wrote on his Facebook page.
The Palestinian man was arrested after writing “good morning,” which was misinterpreted. The Facebook post mistranslated 'good morning' to “slaughter them”.
Last week, the man posted on his Facebook page a picture from the construction site where he works in the West Bank settlement of Beitar Ilit near Occupied Jerusalem. In the picture he is leaning against a bulldozer alongside the caption: “Good morning” in Arabic.

The occupation judge acquitted on Thursday the 14-year old Mus’ab Mahmoud Hussein from the charges against him after he had been under house-arrest for 6 months.
The minors’ lawyer at Wadi Hilweh Information Center, Mohammad Mahmoud, explained that the judge decided to acquit Mus’ab Mheisen from the charges filed against him (throwing stones in the village of Esawyeh) for lack of evidence. Witnesses from the police were supposed to testify regarding the charges but the public prosecution decided not to bring police personnel. Consequently, the prosecution withdrew from the indictment. |

After detaining him for several days, he was released on conditions of deportation from the village of Esawyeh and house-arrest. He was then allowed to go back to his house in the village while keeping him under house-arrest.
