Czech pro-Palestinian activist returns home after expelled by Israel

Lookup up "Scott Parkin", the American political activist who was arrested and deported from Australia. Australia most certainly routinely deports visitors who violate the terms of their visa. When they are political activists who come to foment anti-Australian sentiment, they are ARRESTED and LOCKED UP, put on trial with evidence from ASIO (c.f. CIA) and then punished according to law, which may include deportation. It's high time that Israel acted with the same responsibility. And if you're wondering if Jerusalem belongs to Israel, does Canberra belong to "Australia"??? Jerusalem has been a Jewish capital for about 3 millenia longer than Canberra has been an Australian capital...

"Egypt also told the British MP George Galloway he was not welcome anymore and not to return after his groups` rioting and killing an Egyptian soldier in the name of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians" This woman did not riot or kill an IDF soldier. There is, you see, a big difference in the two scenarios. Not that you'd see it.

Friesland, Aruba and Curacao don't want independence. Also they are not occupied by a hostile enemy. By International Law Israel has not only the right but also the duty to remove its civilians from Occupied Territory, I don't see them making much haste. Also, the Israeli immigration police work under the authority of the Israeli ministry of the interior, and as such have no jurisdiction in the Occupied Palestinian territories. This arrest is part of the continued and illegal use of the immigration police against activists, for political purposes. Arresting people just for peaceful demonstration is not just happening in Iran...

is is primitive, really? If israel is something out of the 20th century, then what makes Holland? - a country that still has the medieval practice of a monarchy whose members are above the law. Just go try to insult the Queen in the public? By whose right does your Queen rule the Netherlands, Frisland and the Antilles? Has there been a referendum to recognize her unchallenged rule? It may sound crazy to you, but so does leftist support of Arab and Iranian Jihadists who call for the murder of Jews, Christians, Gays, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists (the list is long!) etc- ask your Commy ISO buddies how they justify that!

Egypt also told the British MP George Galloway he was not welcome anymore and not to return after his groups' rioting and killing an Egyptian soldier in the name of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. But the Israel haters did not protest. Only when Israel expels someone do they question its' legitimacy. Nothing that Israel does even the mention of its' name provokes hysteria on the part of the antisemites.

Australia has never expelled anyone who was outside Australia.

It was legally annexed to Israel on what date?

Nadav: According to International law, Israel has every right to expel for entering the country under false pretenses.... And according to international law, Israel has violated UN resolutions: Resolution 237: " ... 'urges' Israel to allow return of new 1967 Palestinian refugees". Resolution 242 Calls upon Israel to withdraw its forces from land claimed by other parties in 1967 war. Resolution 267: " ... 'censures' Israel for administrative acts to change the status of Jerusalem". Resolution 271: " ... 'condemns' Israel's failure to obey UN resolutions on Jerusalem". The list goes on. Nadav, don't pick and choose when international law suits you. I'm ashamed to be a jew when we have idiots like you around. Shalom/Salam

Some might see the ISM has working for Israel in trying to secure a just peace between her and the Palestinians. I doubt she was getting paid for her "work" and it would be interesting to know what rules in relation to her visa were breached.

I understand that in the West Bank there is one legal system for Jews (Israeli) and another (military occupation) for local Christians and Muslims. If this person was not a Jew was the law for non-Jews called on. If not...Curious

Aside from everything else, Israel is a democracy, and the inhabitants of the West Bank can't vote in Israeli elections, so it follows that the West Bank can hardly be part of Israel.

"I am afraid not!!" Can u hear the drums, Fernando? The water is in the West Bank and the natural gas in Gaza. Don't worry, Israel wants one state too!

Israel has been trying to offload its responsibilities to others (west bank, Gaza) for years, lucky enough the Arab nations are not falling for Israels deceitful plans.

I am afraid not!!Not even Jordan wanted West bank in back in 1994 after the conquests of 1948 and 1967.Even when the other Arab nations refused to take those poor jordanian refugees from the West Bank area.what is wrong with you guys???

Of course Holland is a very civilized country.Ask the Dutch professionals of sex, drug junkies,rascists and anti-semitic and they will tell you how civilized it is...

To compare Frisland, Aruba, and Curacao to the Occupied Territories on any level is a joke. Nadav, you need to get a life, and stop justifying your country's primitive behavior. Politically and culuturally speaking, today's Israel is something out of the early 20th century at best. So sad.

Is it one state already?

Israel did the legal and proper thing. Australia has also arrested and deported an American who entered Australia on a tourist visa and then violated the terms of his visa with political activism. There is a whole sub-industry of political anti-Israel tourism that appeals to young and foolish activists who think that protesting against Israel inside Israel is some kind of great sport. It's about time that Israel acted like any normal country and simply detain, arrest, charge, convict and deport these people - just like any other normal country would.

Show me ONE country is the world that allows you to enter it as a tourist and then lets you live there (even if it is in a disputed territory) while working against it. ONE SINGLE country, please! Israel-haters are really scraping new depths of patheticism. a1matrimonials@hotmail.com

Good riddance to the ISM garbage. Israel should unload more of this trash.

if her paasport was stamped she entered and was expelled through israel ! ramallah is an arab enclave in israel !

The lawyer seems to walk in a different planet on commisering that the Activist has been sent home on political reason. Just would you kindly expand on that point! Had we lived in a dictatorship as in Iran where some young, double citizenshi holders. participated in the Reformers demonstrations, peacefully are now in Prison waiting for a show-trial ala Mao or Stalin, to either langer in an infested prison or have their life cut off of them. Now, not only Iran, but the Netherland, Denmark, England all have no qualm in getting ride of foreign nationals that are acting in contravention of their intended reason for being in the land. Now, that's politics which Omer intent to use to blacken the face of a country, Israel, tolerant to any pie thrown at its face.

She entered Ramallah via Israel, which means the country which issued her visa and allowed her entry was Israel, According to International law, Israel has every right to expel for entering the country under false pretenses- not to mention collusion with a hostile enemy and subversion of the law! I suggest you that ISO use their agit-prop methods in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon, which are ruled by viscous regimes! As for John(comment #1) from the Netherlands, when you grant independence to Frisland, Aruba, and Curacao, then you can criticize Israel's legal jurisdiction!

would in her case have been back to Ramallah, that is where here home is according to your story, And not Prague. Israeli immigration police have no legal business outside of Israel, by the way. Here goes the Israeli legal fiction system again...
