wait I thought that was the genocide slogan... if they are being arrested for it did I have it backwards?

TIL it was a initially freedom slogan from the Palestinians that was mocked and turned into an apartheid slogan by Israeli far-right politicians. So it's complicated now and depends on context.

it is still a freedom slogan, no matter what genociders say about it.

I think you've got it right, and maybe there are some governments that have rules against advocating for genocide. Kinda wild.
