Activists from the Im Tirtzu movement filed a complaint with the police on Wednesday against Dr. Anat Matar, after she praised convicted terrorist Walid Daka, who died in prison on Sunday.

Daka, a convicted terrorist, was imprisoned following his role in the kidnap, torture, mutilation, and subsequent murder of IDF soldier Moshe Tamam in 1986. In May of 2023, there was a renewed attempt to have Daka released from prison as he was ill with terminal brain cancer, but the motion did not pass and he was not released.

Dr. Matar, a professor of philosophy at Tel Aviv University, eulogized him, calling him a "source of inspiration," "a friend," and a "noble soul."

Im Tirtzu noted that this is not the first time Matar has endorsed anti-Israel rhetoric - two years ago she spoke out against the hanging of Israeli flags in the university library, noting: "This is what a disease looks like."
