Israel To Deport Journalist

(Tel Aviv, Israel) According to this report, British journalist Ewa Jasiewicz has been denied entry into Israel by a Tel Aviv District Court. The reason given was that she is naive and may be misused by Palestinian extremists. She is a member of the International Solidarity Movement which engages in hostile anti-Israel activity. She may appeal the court's ruling.

Interestingly, she's been described as a journalist and a human rights activist, two vocations that are diametrically opposed to each other. If a person is a single-minded activist, it's impossible to be an objective journalist.
