BDS Activist Lara Alqasem Is Responsible for Her Own Detention
(Maariv-Hebrew) Lilach Sigan - BDS activist Lara Alqasem was supposed to fly back to the U.S. immediately at the expense of the airline that brought her to Israel after being denied entry into the country, but she appealed the decision in Israeli courts. Alqasem was not arrested; at any moment that she decides, she can go home. The person responsible for her continued detention at Ben-Gurion Airport is Alqasam herself. Moreover, we need to explain patiently that Israel should not be expected to act differently from all other countries that do not allow entry to those who act against it. Whoever disagrees is welcome to act against the U.S., England, France or Holland, and then try to enter those countries.
