Professor Haim Bresheeth was arrested Friday for his speech at a demo. This article sums everything up. His speech he did before the arrest is the last link, which is also in the same article. He was released Saturday, but remains under investigation:

He describes himself:

I would like to tell you about my background, in order to support my request. I am an academic, author and filmmaker, an ex-Israeli Jew who has been active for over five decades as a socialist, anti-Zionist and anti-racist activist. My parents were Polish Jews, survivors of Auschwitz and other camps. They ended forced onto death marches to the Third Reich after the Auschwitz camp was vacated by the SS in Mid-January 1945. My mother was freed by the British forces in Bergen-Belsen, and my father was freed by the US forces in Mauthausen. I was born in a Displaced Persons Camp in Italy, and arrived in Israel as a baby, during June 1948, as no European country would then accept Holocaust survivors.

I served in the Israeli Army (IDF) as a junior infantry officer, and took part in two wars, in 1967 and 1973, after which I turned into a committed pacifist. I came to study in Britain in 1972, and a short while afterwards I have learnt much about Zionism which I did not while in Israel, thus becoming an ardent supporter of Palestinian rights, and an anti-Zionist activist. I was an active supporter of the Anti-Apartheid Movement as a Labour member in the 1970s and acted against racist organisations throughout my life. My films, books and articles reflect the same political views outlined here; these include a popular book on the Holocaust (Introduction to the Holocaust, with Stuart Hood, 1994, 2001 2014), among others, a BBC documentary film (State of Danger, with Jenny Morgan, BBC2, March 1988) about the first Intifada, and a forthcoming volume on the Israeli Army (An Army Like No Other, May 2020) . I have re-joined the Labour Party after decades, when Jeremy Corbyn was elected to the leadership, as I regained hope in promoting a progressive agenda for the party, after years of Blairism.

They have lobbied (paid federal representatives for their cause) in the US and now have senators backing them to push a bill allowing American citizens assisting in their terrorism to be allowed veteran benefits. So Americans can go help israel and get treated like a military veteran in the states. Israel is stealing the wealth of Palestinians and using it to pay off government officials to vote in favor of their genocide. 2 senators have taken over 150,000$ to do this. Both leading parties are backing the genocide. I hope they both lose but unfortunately believe 1 of them will win because people are sheep

EZraHELL is nothing more than a terrorist cult colony, on stolen land. They only know to murder, territory, kidnap, and steal. Boycott all products made by the terrorist cult colony.

Who is making these decisions? Is it the individual cops or have they received marching orders from on high? What criteria is being used?
