Israeli deportation hearing focuses on Human Right Watch official's tweets DanWilliams
JERUSALEM - An Israeli appellate court deferred a ruling on Monday over the deportation of the director of the local office of Human Rights Watch, accused of promoting pro-Palestinian boycotts of Israel, which Israel has banned.
Israel says that Shakir, a U.S. citizen, supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. Israel has criminalized BDS and has lobbied Western powers to follow suit. Right-wing advocacy groups represented in court argued that Israeli law does not distinguish between boycotts of the settlements and boycotts of Israel itself. One advocate, Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of the Shurat Hadin-Israel Law Centre, said Israel should consider barring Human Rights Watch entirely.
