The security services of any democracy should focus on SECURITY and SECURITY THREATS.

Unless individuals' activities fall into that realm - it's none of the security service business plain & simple; discussion of political views belongs here, on the editorial pages.

them whine about it at their AIA-meetings! (Anti Israel Anonymous)

surroundings to be countered by civilized/proper behaviour.
They must be fought tooth& nail.
We're not here to facilitate every idiots "rights" to cause havoc on society.
For that we've got both UN and EU.

is the Left. Not Hezbollah. Not ISIS. Not Assad. Not Russia. Not Iran. The Left has torn apart and betrayed key components of Western culture, notably: the right to free speech, the right to private property, the right to life, Judeo Christian mores and the right of Israel to defend itself. First hit the Left. Take them out. Then we can deal with Iran, et al.

Sir, with respect it does not take a genius to understand, or figure out ,that the tactic used by Shin Bet is intimidation, designed to deter others from being overly hostile and critical of the jewish state and to demonstrate to the likes of Peter Beinart. who is not as innocent as he likes to imagine , just who is boss !

Shina Bet knows what it is doing, and has the permission of the prime minister in all it does. The idea is to let such snowflakes as Peter Beinart know not to push their or his luck !

Excusme but since when do yoy have the same information that the secret service ? So how can you judge the oportunity to interrogate somebody ?
The relationships of this anti Israeli are enough to make him a suspect.Let the professionals do their work.

-ample how wrong Yemini could be,
Rosenberg,Israel-born Swedish journo eeks out living attacking Israel I the press. and on TV,like Beinart
Like Beinart he does that "in the open"..
Bur,a decade or so ago a book appeared in Sweden claiming among others Rosenberg had been scouting Ben Gurion on behalf of the PFLP for possible terror attack.
It could have been a canard or slander, but the book also claimed one Jan Guillou,well known Swedish writer and TV personality(and vehemently anti-Israel one) had been a KGB agent.
It came out to be true,Guillou amitted to it.
Perhaps this about Rosenberg was also tue,desoite him "being in the open"

What is Yemini's problem? Someone that writes articles in English published abroad criticizing the State of Israel can't be questioned by the security services? In the Muslim countries or Russia he would just 'disappear' . In the West someone writing articles abroad hostile to the state would also be questioned.
The man has not even spent a day in jail and this lefty 'do-gooder' is already hysterical. It is really quite pathetic.

They should have been deported on the spot !!!!!!

he was only asked some questions.
how do you know that he has nothing to hide.
the entire purpose of the interrogation by the shin bet was to find out
whether he has something to hide.
journalists are sometimes spies.

after all we all know "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar"
The government needs to get the hasbara job done right instead of being lazy and sending in the Shin Bet.

Far-left gets its kicks sticking its fingers in the eyes of mainstream Jews. Throw them out.

He is a liar, an anti-zionist and ultimately an israeli-hater. He is not concerned with that harm local Arabs are inflicting on Israeli Jews. He cares more of how his leftists brethren will compliment him and how he can show that him "being" Jewish does not affect his sense of "justice".

It's a whole holistic approach to the damage which these two specimens doing To Jews In Diaspora and Israel in particular.
Free Speech used for pure hate calling in their language criticism create situation that Israel delegates can't speak freely in University campus, spreading lies and incitements in media , and coming to Israel under freedom of moving , NO VISA , just to provoke as acceptance of free ride of immense damage done to Judaism ? They should be stoned and not allow even one step on Israel Soil??? You can judge through no to demand full responsibility for damage and hate using intellectual privilege which is worst from act itself?? ,

and by the way, don't forget my leftist friends, that DemocratParty has no long-term need for you. They will shove you to the same fate, to which they shoved the Afrikaaner farmers

spit in his direction, should we be so lucky as to encounter him anywhere on the planet!

These two characters are BDS enablers, two closet queens with a shifty background. I wholeheartedly support the Shin Bet and the agents who interview these despicable Lefties, whose main reason for the "visit" is to communicate with the New Israel Fund for the purpose of agitating and undermine the policies of the government. I was never big on the settlers, settlements, etc..but this is something for Israeli voters to face not for dubious fruitcakes plotting to harm the state. One is an Iranian lefty, what business does this CNN reject (thrown out of CNN) do in Israel? What a coincidence, this gay freak and Beinart together? I think Mr. Yemini is a bit clueless about these odious characters. Why should the Shin bet be intimidated from strange vistors and shy from approaching them with questions?

...the talkbacks here! What Yemini was talking about was people having a different opinion and being able to voice them. That's democracy, and even if I don't like what the other says I have to tolerate it.
On the other hand, what almost every talkback here shows is that this part of democracy has long gone. Replaced by the mob and in the intolerant and hate.
This is very very sad for this country.
