Israel joins Egypt, Iran, etc.

This article discusses Israel's arrest of a Palestinian geographer (with Israeli and Canadian citizenship, teaching in the US). His experience is very similar to that of academics recently arrested and detained in Egypt and Iran.

What lovely company Israel has decided to keep.

You know, whilst reading that I thought, 'well, why don't the Israelis just set up some concentration camps?'

Then I remembered they have done.

Israel Arrests Outspoken Academic Norman Finkelstein

And the American academic Norman Finkelstein has been arrested and ordered deported from Israel. Finkelstein arrived in Tel Aviv earlier today on his way to the Occupied Territories. He was immediately detained and told he is banned from Israel for ten years. He’s expected to be deported tomorrow. Finkelstein is known one of the most prominent academic critics of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
