The Legal Forum for the Land of Israel Attorny Itzhik Baum requested Interior Minister Eli Yishai to use his authority to expel what Baum called foreign “anarchists” who came to Israel as “volunteers” of the pro-Palestinian group International Solidarity Movement.
These volunteers, Baum said, actually take part in inciting and preparing illegal assaults on the property of Jewish residents in disputed territory.
Baum also cited risks to the activists own lives since in the past they have entered dangerous areas and have been injured by IDF fire. The volunteers then sue the IDF and cause damages to Israel’s image abroad.
Baum suggested that the anarchists simply be expelled before they cause such trouble. Baum cited the example of Great Britain who has publically denied entry to persons it has deemed dangerous to their national security. Such persons included the head of the Manhigut Yehudit (“Jewish Leadership”) faction of the Likud and Knesset candidate Moshe Feiglin as well as American radio show host Michael Savage.
