Leave your phone at home, you can use that as evidence that you were home at the time.
Yup.
I don’t agree with these kids. They are misled idiots, or better put, useful idiots.
The Palestinians simply have a very good grasp of how to use the media to their advantage, are not facing massive censorship like the Russians, and have some big actors that sort of back them up (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Jordan - Arab and Muslim media which is prolific).
The Arabs / Muslims know how to play the victim card well and were doing this aready in the 1990s. Sometimes they go over the top and get caught: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salam_Daher
***But, I do understand why today you do not want to have your face visible or cell phone on you if you engage in any sort of protest.***
Leaving your iPhone at home won’t establish that you were at home. Say you normally answer texts and phone calls throughout the day, and occasionally pick it up to check something online. You think you’re covered.
So you meet up with your Palestinian hitsquad, burn the police cars, Rob the bank, sing we shall overcome… then rush back home.
It would be child’s play for an investigator or an intelligence agent to look at the daily activity of your phone for the last three months, and then see that one day with no activity whatsoever. No text, no checking the email, no phone call answered or placed, no movement of the phone whatsoever inside the house. Leaving your phone won’t even establish that you were innocent. Think about it.
Not to mention the myriad of surveillance cams that watched you leave your house, watched you go down the street, followed you from intersection to intersection across town, saw you park and go to the protest… And then return home.
And then of course, is Gorgon stare.
