Soriman’s attorney David Kraut noted that his client made statements to Chen The distinction between Zionists and Jews also pointed out that 1187 numbers may refer to other important dates.

Magistrate Kathryn Starnella said the case raised a legal question about how the term Zionism is defined, questioning whether it is a political movement or a type of nationality.

Hindman admits that the issue is “complex”.

“The defendant does not use the term Israel,” Shinderman said. “In his words, what he shows is that he is directed at the Israelites and anyone who supports Israel in that land.”

Kraut believes Soliman’s definition of Zionism “depends on political views.”

“In this case, the nationality of the victim does not matter,” Claut said.

Hindman argues that there is evidence that Soliman believes that the Zionists are the occupiers of Jerusalem, and the occupiers of Jerusalem are the state of Israel.
