I am pretty sure we talked about Miss Iraq getting death threats for a selfie with miss Israel 

Well, this is a girl who is an activist... coming from an activist family. Footage about her in confrontation with Israeli soldiers has been circulating on the internet for years. 

 

Now she is arrested after one of those altercations. And because she is a minor her mother wanted to be present at the interrogation, and she got arrested too. Not sure what other side there is to the story?

Have you read the story?  First when I saw the video I was wondering what was going on. I have read the background story and it puts things in perspective.

I didn't make that up. Google or Merriam-Webster is your friend:

Also, connotation depends on view on things.

I see, well that's your choice if you want to hold on to your own personal interpretation.

Probably wasting my time but to make it clear just a shame that something that WAS a positive term has changed.

lol this girl is a known provocateur and even people in the Arab and Muslim world praised this soldier all over the internet for doing nothing.

"If she did that to a soldier in the army of an Arab state, she would be arrested and her whole family from the big to the small," surfer Fadi al-Ajha wrote in response to a Facebook post on the subject. "Of course it's a sad thing, but if she attacked a soldier in an Arab country and slapped him in the face, what would that soldier do to her?" Added Surfer Thakri.

A surfer named Muhammad Ahmad, who lives in Syria, wrote: "You say that Israel is oppressing, she hit a soldier and he did not do anything to her." "I swear to God that if such a thing happened to us in Syria, she and her family would disappear from the world," Ahmed added. "Her behavior is provocative and the Israeli soldier was more patient than the prophet Ayyub," added surfer Azu Elhosen.
