Funding "International volunteers who join the ISM are responsible for paying their own way and covering all their expenses in Palestine". "Support groups abroad fundraise to help activists who need assistance to come to Palestine". ---- So who are these "support groups" that fund students and others to come here? Mike

And stiff penalties for their Israeli leftist collaborators. The fence or barrier or whatever you want to call it is legal. It's route is determined by our left-leaning courts - this is no arbitrary decision. In every country in the world, the gov't. has the right of eminent domain. The place to resolve disputes is in the courts, not provoking violent riots & rock-throwing. If you don't like the court's decision, you appeal . If you lose, then you can peacefully protest. Peacefully. Not throwing rocks, not destroying public property, not rioting. Once a protest degenerates into violence, you lose your right to demonstrate. From then on, the security forces can use any & all means to quell a disturbance & repeat offenders should receive the harshest penalties. In particular, foreigners should be deported & denied re-entry permanently.

Good riddance ! Now lets ban Al Jezeera who publicly glorifies Kuntar and the BBC and CNN as they are Arab propaganda machines. In the case of the latter they are horrified at the prospect that the U.S might actually succeed in Iraq

to help us to take over israil and make a new califa with iran where all man are equal and women have to wear burkahs believe me i hope israil deport you to gaza to come and live with us inshaalla we will love you the way we love all strangers mr mcdonald please come here soon

listening anymore (except those who already know.) The only issue I would see is real compensation for loss of land use for life and inheritance if these were ligitimately lost. The Arab world and its supporters have mastered the media and the big lie, while Israel hasn't always been very effective in promotting its own PR. With all the world politics involved, does anyone or has anyone ever really cared about the actual facts and issues involved throughout modern and past history. How often has any of this ever mattered in most conflicts. Too bad there are no strong leaders in Israel to keep things and track.

Good send him packing and bar him from reentering the country. We don't need these type of people here causing problems and putting themselves in harms way.

expelling one it's not enough. it's already many years that israel allow those enemies to demonstrate against the security fence! those enemies hate this fence ONLY because this fence saves EVERYDAY jewish lives ! those eurabians, canadians, and else are our ennemies, and they are the guests of our traitors like shalom akhshav or betsalel.

I seriously doubt it. After all, these countries are not so friendly and welcoming of their enemies, like we are. These countries have much more to hide regarding their atrocious human rights record, yet they know how to deal with troublemakers like this one, much more effectively than we can. Plus, the world media doesn't care much about such countries - they mostly love to feast on Israel, the easy prey everybody picks on. No wonder he came here. Now he needs to be deported.

Brave freedom fighter or assisting Paleostinians in their next terrorist attack against Israeli civilians?

Oh dear dear. He got spat at. How sad. In an Arab country he would have been hung. Expel all these thugs.

TAHL, I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY. ISRAEL IS SINGLED OUT AMONG ALL THE NATIONS. IT'S ONLY BECAUSE ISRAEL IS A DEMOCRACY THAT THIS GUY'S PARENTS WOULD HAVE THE GALL TO TALK SO TOUGH WHILE HIS SON IS IN CUSTODY. IF HE WAS ARRESTED IN CHINA THE WOULD PROBABLY BE A LOT LESS SUPPORTIVE OF HIS "NOBLE" HUMANITARIAN ACTIVISM. LOL. AND I THOUGHT CANADIANS WERE HALFWAY DECENT.

not very adapt with their english. Cohen the latest, is apt to walk into every trap they set. We need a 100% perfect English speaker who genuinely represents the Israeli side, unfortunately the only one who was every good at that was BiBi. He's too high and mighty to do that now. Plus, our PM is anti Israel, like his daughter. He's prooved that, and the rest of the Kenneset lets him and Barak get away with it. We can do it by blogs and forwarding the other point of view to our contacts abroad, and also through Honest Reporting, who seem to be doing a good job. Never forget that the majority of Media, are pressured by the fact that the Arabs refuse to debate with an Israeli or Jew when on T.V etc., and the likes of CNN, BBC go along with it. Instead of insisting that a debate must have two opposing sides. We are the size of Wales battleing against 2 thirds of the world. The last thing we want is putting up with agitators from across the world. Let them stay in Gazza, Ramallah, Jenine, where they will still be treated as infidels. If we catch them we deport them the same as any other country would. The UK has a great place for illegal immigrants, with a job in their Home and Foreign offices as cleaners. Those they wish to deport have been held in appaling overcrowded conditions for months. This Canadian mis-guided imbecile has been treated with a lot more respect than the people he accosted. If it was up to me he would have been locked up and I would throw away the key, as a warning to other mis-guided idiots. We don't need Anti-semites here, we have enough of our own.

And I do hope that those reports of solders beating him and spitting in his face are true.

First of all he is NOT looking for mistakes at both side but he is helping the pals. He is not a reporter, because a reporter should report, without taking sides. But ok his name is SAID, so what was I thinking hahahahah 'Canadian'? Arab they mean!!!

This putz NEEDS an invitation to a Pancake Breakfast at the ISM House of Pancakes (located conveniently on Rachov Corrie, Pamallah)

THE IRANIANS NEED SOME MORE 'PHOTO SHOP' PHOTOS AND FEATURES. HE'LL MAKE A KILLING. GET THE PRICK OUT OF ISRAEL. HE IS CONSIDERED AN ENEMY.

ISM inverts reality. There is already a Palestinian Arab State on four fifths of Palestine. Western Palestine is Jewish land according to international law. Settlements should be encouraged. The land should not be moved out of Jewish hands. Arabs say they are one nation but anomalously have 21 states whereas they deserve one state only. For further details about international law, see the Palestine Mandate in: www.mythsandfacts.org

that would have caused some injury. Did he get a picture of himself all bruised up? A broken nose perhaps? A bleeding lip or ear? I mean it does not take 20 minutes worth of punching in the face to leave marks. So if they can't produce fauxtography, these ISM's gladly offer false testimony. Why wasn't he protesting the ill treatment of Canadian natives? The father should have been angry at himself for not giving his son a better education.

Before this incident, two Canadians were arrested in China for rolling out a Free Tibet Banner over the Great Wall. Does the rest of the world really have to explain to Canadians that just because they are white and rich they don't have carte blanche to do as they wish around the world. What else can explain this arrogance? Mr. McDiarmid your son was involved with attempts to destroy Israeli property and injure Israeli police and you're angry with Israeli authorities for putting him in a detention center? What if a group of Israeli animal rights people showed up destroying Canadian fishing vessels because you people like to club baby seals. I doubt McDiarmid would feel they should be allowed to continue their mission.

ISM is a bunch of missguided Racist Twits. This idiots parents support the kids Activism. I live in Canada and plan on making a personal appearance to the kids home. ISM is nothing more then Covert anti Semetism.

I wonder why such heroic peaceniks do not show their face in Darfour or Miyanmar. Maybe it is too dangerous there? Or why are tey uninterested by human rights abuse in Iran or Pakistan, or Zimbabwe. Maybe there are no TV cameras to broadcast their circus?

Stop The ISM has documented photos of ISM members from the USA and Canada carrying Kalashnikov rifles and explosives. These are not peace activists, they train and incite arabs toward violent confrontations then use propaganda to make Israel look bad. The ISM has been infiltrated by law enforcement agencies and in New York where I am a police officer we monitor all ISM activities. If only Israel would sentence these activists to extremely long prison sentences and huge fines the activities would halt. Just deporting alien criminals is not enough.

Hilarious read! The self righteous anger of Zionists against MacDiarmid, along with your vigilanti threats are quite laughable. Rant, rave, carry on and continue to reveal how racist and violent Zionists are, along with your opposition to free speech and civil disobedience. Congratulations to MacDiarmid for standing up to racism and apartheid!

The Canadian garbage will be decapitated in Somalia. Then his parents will get a grip on reality.

Why did you let some Canadian trash into the country?
