    The court ruled Sunday that Lara Alqasem’s deportation be frozen until judges have a chance to hear the appeal in the coming week.

    Yotam Ben-Hillel, Alqasem’s lawyer, submitted the appeal on Sunday.

    Alqasem, 22, arrived in Israel on Oct. 2 with a student visa to study at Israel’s Hebrew University, where classes began Sunday. But she was barred from entering the country over alleged involvement in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

    Alqasem, who says she is no longer a boycott activist, has remained in detention while fighting the Israeli decision.

    Finally some sanity to stop this trumpf madness. The alt-recht infiltrated the ranks of the Israeli volk and now the fascists want to harrass their opponents by stopping them from enetering the country. No doubt they learned from the orange sheitel who is also stopping people and deporting people. Feh!

    The loonie liberal left made America crazy and perverted. Trump is trying to change it with conservatives on the Supreme court.

    Israel’s loonie liberal leftist envy America and try to be like them, but we are stuck with the loonie liberal leftist Israel supreme court justices who are afraid to be Jewish and end up pro Arab and anti Jewish.

    Yup unfortunately the leftists in Israel are the same as the leftists in the US, more concerned with bending over backwards for the enemies of its citizens than protecting its own citizens! Sick!!!!
