The prosecution referred to an expert opinion from the ISA, which teaches that Da'ar'ar is different as a decentralized organization that recruits activists via the Internet according to the inspiration model, and that making a claim according to the organization's methods attaches the declarant to the organization as a member. The defense argued that in light of the modus operandi of terrorist organizations, such as ISIS, a person can be counted as a member of the organization even without anyone from the organization being aware that the specific person is a member of it, and that the demand for official or physical approval before a representative as claimed by the defense is illogical and inconsistent with the purpose of the Counter-Terrorism Law.
The prosecution referred to the purpose of the law, which is intended to prevent the establishment and activity of terrorist organizations and to thwart terrorist offenses, and argued that "passive" membership is included in the offense in order to prevent the evil before it occurs, since the very membership increases the risk, and in support it referred to the explanatory notes to the law that support a broad interpretation, and state that it is not possible to learn about membership in a terrorist organization according to formal procedures or documents, but rather on the basis of circumstantial evidence that indicates identification and self-perception as a member.
Regarding the defendant, she emphasized the fact that this is not a person who has carried out a single action, but rather someone who has carried out many actions that indicate identification and a desire to associate himself with the terrorist organization Da'Ar Shanahan and become a member of it, while the execution of the expression to the leader of a different Da'ar'ar is joined by other actions such as intensive and continuous viewing of many difficult content of Da'ar'ar Shani, downloading many files dealing with the preparation of explosives, toxins and toxic gases from ISIS; Adopting slang and using the terms of ISIS operatives, and more.
