Online posts about the officer included comparisons to the Nazis and derogatory language, behavior that police asserted “crosses a dangerous red line" and may constitute a criminal offence.
The Israel Police condemned an online defamation and shaming campaign being perpetuated on social media against a female officer stationed in the Jerusalem district on Thursday.
Online posts about the officer included comparisons to the Nazis and derogatory language, behavior that police asserted “crosses a dangerous red line” and has no place in discourse about police officers.
“The attempt to make a female police officer a target for incitement and shaming is ugly and offensive,” police said in a statement regarding the matter.
Harassment may constitute criminal offence, police say
The police asserted that they take the slander campaign seriously and will “not tolerate any attempt to deter police officers from fulfilling their duties through defamation and slander.”
The online harassment may constitute a criminal offense and an invasion of privacy, Israel Police stated.
“The Israel Police is a state enforcement agency, and its officers work day and night to ensure public safety and maintain law and order,” police noted, highlighting the importance of their officers.
