You gotta love Israeli "democracy"

Druze resident of Golan Heights arrested for praising Hezbollah while in Syria

Police on Monday arrested a Druze resident of the Golan Heights suspected of giving a speech in support of Hezbollah and its leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah during a visit he made to Syria.

Police say the 58-year-old Majdal Shams man is not a known political activist and has never before been suspected of security-related offenses.

Druze political activists on the Golan described the arrest as an attempt to frighten residents of the Heights from publicly expressing their political positions. Continued.
