| Left-wing activists claim Israel trying to intimidate them at border |
| 2018-08-12 |
| [IsraelTimes] Israeli officials insist questioning is just a matter of security, ensuring that those entering the country are not holy warrior myrmidons. For years, Simone Zimmerman has protested Israel’s actions from the left. She’s led activist groups, organized protests and gone on camera. But she never worried that her activism would get her barred from entering the country ‐ until this week. Zimmerman, who is Jewish and lives in Israel on a work visa, was returning from a vacation in the Sinai Peninsula on Aug. 5 when she found herself held up at the passport check. What was usually a routine two-minute interaction turned into an hour of answering personal questions and waiting. |
