Arresting innocent people to intimidate them is a staple move.

Not to mention the normalization of such a connection between pro-palestine and “terrorism”. People who are out of the loop will read the headline and assume that the person arrested for terrorism is guilty. They’ll start to associate the pro-Palestinian viewpoint with terrorism if enough arrests like these make it into headlines.
