hero: Tali Fahima
30 yr old Tali Fahima was the first Israeli jailed for "collaboration".
Fahima accepted a plea bargain to charges including contacting a foreign agent with intent to harm Israel's security, relaying information to the enemy and illegally entering Palestinian-controlled areas.
She has been granted a release from prison but is banned from leaving the country, contacting foreign agents or entering the Palestinian-controlled areas.
Her charges were brought against her for befriending Zakaria Zubeidi, a local leader of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades.
She was regularly his guest and admitted to staying close him to protect him from assassination by Israel.
Fahima was held for 14 months before her conviction - including three months under administrative detention without trial, a security measure Israel usually reserves for Palestinian suspects.
Upon her release, she said, "I don't regret anything, and I will continue to work against the occupation and for peace."
The world desperately needs more people struggle against their privilege and fight against oppression.
