Israeli Court Approves HRW Official's Expulsion
(AFP-Daily Mail-UK) Human Rights Watch's country director Omar Shakir, a U.S. citizen, will have until May 1 to leave Israel, according to a decision by the Jerusalem district court. "Those who call to boycott Israel aim their arrows at it, but the individuals living in it are the ones who pay the price of the boycott," Tuesday's ruling said. "It has been proven" that Shakir "continues to publicly call for a boycott on Israel or parts of it, while at the same time asking that it open its gates for him." Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan said, "Boycott activists must realize that there's a price to their boycott activity against Israel and its residents."
