There are ??? ?? ????two things Na'ama is deeply passionate about: stanning Taylor Swift and denouncing Israeli occupation in Palestine.
The Israeli-born fan is so fiercely for Palestine, in fact, that she says she went to prison for two months for refusing to enlist in Israel's mandatory military service. She still managed to slide in a hot take about Swift's pregnancy rumors, though. Twitter users are obsessed with her story.
It started on Tuesday morning, when Na'ama tweeted a bizarre update after a two month period of laying low.
"As many of you know, I haven't been very active in the past couple of months because I was in prison," she said from her stan account @LegitTayUpdates, adding that she planned on returning to updating her followers on the latest Swift gossip.

When another Twitter user asked why Na'ama was imprisoned, she casually dropped that she refused to comply with Israel's mandatory military service out of support for Palestinian freedom. Na'ama didn't respond to Mashable's requests for comment.

Most Israeli citizens over the age of 18 are required by law to serve in the Israel Defense Forces. Men are required to serve three years and women must serve for 21 months. Those who refuse to enlist, sometimes out of opposition to Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, are punished with prison sentences. According to Huck Magazine, "refuseniks" who dodged the draft have been imprisoned for various sentences, including 98 to 110 days. Those who claim to be conscientious objectors must defend their principles in front of a panel of military officers.
There are exemptions for mandatory service, such as marriage, pregnancy, or Orthodox religious reasons, but Na'ama says she didn't get a moral waiver because she "wasn't a true pacifist."
"I told them I'd punch a Nazi," she tweeted.
It's worth noting that both her Taylor Swift stan account and her personal account (@iknowplacesmp6) are relatively anonymous; anyone could make this up. So she can either be tweeting the truth or doing an elaborate months-long bit.
Na'ama told her followers that she was going offline because of her prison sentence on Feb. 1, adding in another tweet that she didn't know how long she'd be in for.
"Some people do 10 days, other well over a year," she said. "I'll have a pretty short notice of when I'm getting released."

Despite the limited internet access, Na'ama still managed to stick to her stan roots. When a friend visited and updated her on Taylor Swift's baby bump rumors, she provided a handwritten tweet for them to post, 24 days after she announced her incarceration.
"I'm still in prison lmao but I asked a visiting friend to post this," she wrote on a sheet of graph paper. "Can y'all ... stop making comments on Taylor's body ... she'll let us know when/if she's pregnant. Calm down."
Notice the hand drawn speech bubble — Na'ama has a brand and she maintained it!

Unless she's going for the long con, spacing out tweets weeks apart like that takes immense planning.
Her other account was more active, as her friend Noya passed on messages and posted diary entries on her behalf. Among details about meeting another girl and complaining about the lack of pop culture, Na'ama also wrote about, unsurprisingly, Taylor Swift.

That, dear Swifties and confused internet dwellers, is why everyone on Twitter is talking about stan culture and Middle Eastern politics.
