Your vitriol belies a prejudice against the claims of the article.

So how will this law be used properly, in your opinion, to protect the rights of the Palestinian people?

I am not in favor of this law. But it's very disingenuous and wrong to say it is directed at Palestinians or focused on them as the article alludes.

True - it will have a chilling effect on anyone and everyone who is critical of Israel, not just Palestinians, but definitely including Palestinians, who wish to raise the issue of their continued repression with the rest of the world.

All it takes now is to claim victimhood in the form of 'suffering mental health as a result of online messages', and nobody will ever have to hear the cries of Israels' victims ever again.

Absolutely reprehensible. A truly free people do not repress the voice of their victims.
