Another ISM Tool Expelled
Israel has deported another International Solidarity Movement useful idiot: Israel Deports Pro-Palestinian American.
A Tel Aviv District Court judge ordered Adam Wilson, a 28-year-old union organizer from New Orleans, La., to leave the country by Tuesday.
Wilson is affiliated with the International Solidarity Movement, a Palestinian-sponsored group in the forefront of protesting Israeli military operations and the separation barrier Israel is building near its boundary with the West Bank.
The deportation order came as an Israeli court prepared to take up the case of Ewa Jasiewicz, 26, an ISM sympathizer from London who was stopped at Ben Gurion Airport on Aug. 11.
Wilson said he was detained by authorities at an airport detention center the same day as Jasiewicz after he refused an order to leave Israel. “They interrogated me and I spent about 10 hours at the airport,” he said, adding authorities later tried to put him on a plane but he refused to leave.
Wilson’s attorney Yael Berda said the judge ordered Wilson’s deportation after he was unable to pay some $890 to cover court costs. “They’re asking for money to be guaranteed for the state expenses of the court fees,” Berda said. “(ISM activists) don’t have that kind of money. They are here for their own volunteer opportunities.”
