Michael Sheikh, a student from Australia, and a former media officer for the ISM at the time of Rachel Corrie's death in March, has been detained at Ben Gurion airport and awaiting deportation as a "security risk," the second such "risk" to arrive peaceably and openly at Ben Gurion in less than 24 hours.

Like other "security risks" Michael is demanding he be allowed his legal right to appeal the deportation order and will resist deportation until then.

1. Keep The Media Out At All Costs

ESPECIALLY media coming through ISM. What an albatross around the neck of fascism that ISM!

3. exactly

if you believe Israel's bullshit lie that ISM peace activists are a "security risk" then you'll believe pretty much anything they tell you.

2. This isn't just

Not that I trust the ISM or agree with much of their actions, but imprsioning one of them on the basis of him being a member is unjust. Am I missing something due to this one-sided article? Is there information that I'm not aware of that would make him a true security risk? Are there any other sources reporting this?
