Security risk deported

The JTA reports that a Jewish-American journalist working for a palestinian news agency in Israel called Ma'an has been shown the door:
Jared Malsin, 26, the English-language editor of the Palestinian Ma'an news agency, was placed on a flight out of Israel Wednesday. He had spent the last week at an airport detention facility, according to Ma'an.

[...]

According to Ma'an, interrogation transcripts obtained by the news service show that Malsin was considered a security risk on the basis of his political beliefs, determined by his news stories that criticize the State of Israel. The transcripts also said, according to Ma'an, that security officials believe Malsin "exploited his Jewishness" to gain entry to Israel.
I'm sure there's more to this than meets the eye, but Ma'an clearly isn't going to say so.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
