Israel als Schurkenstaat 147

De zionisten hebben tenminste driekwart miljoen Palestijnen verdreven om ruimte te maken voor een 'Joodse staat'. Maar kritische joden zijn niet welkom. Wel is de christen extremist Bas Belder er welkom. Gek he?

Israel: Chomsky ban 'big mistake'
Chomsky delivered his lecture to Bir Zeit University via video link from Amman [AFP]

The Israeli government has said it made a "big mistake'' by barring Noam Chomsky, an American academic and political activist, from entering the occupied West Bank earlier this week.

The interior ministry said on Tuesday that a low-level border clerk had wrongfully denied him entry, and that he was now free to enter.

"He should have been allowed in, it was a big mistake," Sabine Haddad, a spokeswoman for the ministry, told the Associated Press news agency.

"The clerk for some reason thought there was an issue of letting him in so denied him access. If he wants to come to the border he will be allowed in."

Chomsky was barred by Israeli immigration officials as he attempted to cross the Allenby Bridge from Jordan on Sunday.

The Jewish-American linguistics professor, who frequently speaks out against Israeli policy in the occupied Palestinian territories, had been scheduled to give a lecture at Bir Zeit University in the West Bank.

Noam Chomsky speaks about his hours-long wait and subsequent denial of entry

And despite Haddad's statement, Chomsky said there was no "official" guarantee he would be allowed in and so decided to give the lecture by video link from Amman, Jordan's capital, on Tuesday.

About 100 students attended the video link lecture at Bir Zeit University near the city of Ramallah.

Chomsky said he was told during his interrogation at the border that "Israel does not like what you say".

The academic said preventing him from entering the West Bank was "tantamount to boycotting Bir Zeit University".

Chomsky, who opposes a general boycott of Israel, told Israel's Haarestz newspaper that Israel's behaviour reminded him of South Africa in the 1960s, which thought it could counter its international pariah status through better public relations.

Israeli Public Sector's Door Closed to Arab Workers

Unemployed computer engineer Morad Lashin would like to work in Israel's Electricity Company, a large state utility, but admits his chances of being recruited are slim.

The reasons were set out in graphic form this month when a parliamentary committee revealed that only 1.3 per cent of the company’s 12,000 workers are Arab, despite the Arab minority constituting nearly 20 per cent of the population.

Eerder beweerde Gidi Markuszower dat hij uit de PVV is gestapt vanwege "het vergrootglas" van de media. Maar nu blijkt dat de AIVD de PVV heeft gewaarschuwd tegen deze extremist, die naar vermeend hand en spandiensten verleent aan de Mossad, en die geloofsgenoten met kritiek op Israël wilde verbannen uit het joodse religieuze en culturele leven.

Sonja, een kleine correctie. Volgens mij wilde Gidi Markuszowers partij linkse leden van de NIHS - de orthodoxe joodse gemeente Amsterdam - uit de NIHS stoten. Dat is een veel kleiner gezelschap dan de hele gemeenschap, want de Nederlands Israelietische Hoofd Synagoge (voluit) kent maar een paar duizend leden, 5000 max, terwijl er al met al zo'n 45.000 joden in Nederland wonen. Het stond in een conceptmotie voor het 'parlement' van de NIHS van de partij waar Gidi tot voor kort vertegenwoordiger van was.
Niet-leden van de NIHS hadden hier dus verder geen last van gehad. Maar sowieso had het nooit gekund.
