Israel-Palestine
US activist detained at Ben-Gurion airport
2004-07-02
American activist Ann Petter, 44, who came to Israel to participate in a pro-Palestinian march, has been held in a detention facility for more than a week after being refused entry to the country, her lawyer said Thursday.

Petter arrived at Ben-Gurion Airport on June 23. Petter refused a police request to return to the United States and has been held at the airport pending a court hearing on her petition to have the order rescinded, the lawyer said. Police had determined that Petter was a threat to Israel’s security and had denied her entry, an Interior Ministry spokeswoman said. Petter is affiliated with the International Solidarity Movement, Berda said. ISM is a pro-Palestinian group whose members often place themselves between Israeli forces and Palestinians to try to stop the IDF from carrying out operations.

Ask the Israelis to forward her to the nearest Taliban controlled area of Pakistan. We’ll take two goats in trade - they don’t have to be realy high quality goats, but we want to look like we got something in trade other than money. It’s not about money unless nobody will accept her extradition. In that case we’ll open up our wallet to make it happpen.

#1  We'll get a better trade for about a dozen of they're women. Then we train them and send the women back to slaughter the Taliban. What greater dishonor in their society than to be killed by your own woman? Poetic justice.
