#3 The Israelis handled this with dignity and efficiency.

One commenter here did suggest that the "visitors" be fed , but only fizzy pop drinks and lots of Twinkies ( and only that, but as much as they could quaff or knosh ). No bathes, no beds. But one and only one toilet. ( as often as you like..but one at a time....take your time in there and the line will understand.and blame you...not us.)

#4 Former Greens MP to stay in Israel
Ms Hale, a former member of the NSW upper house, and activist Vivienne Porzsolt flew to Tel Aviv on Tuesday to participate in the Welcome to Palestine initiative before being arrested, NSW Greens MP David Shoebridge said.

They were detained in the early hours of today (AEST) after they tried to enter Bethlehem, a Palestinian city in the West Bank.

"Her local lawyer has obtained a stay on the deportation order and the matter will come before the district court in Tel Aviv at midday (7.10pm AEST), Israeli time," Mr Shoebridge told AAP earlier today.

But late tonight, Mr Shoebridge tweeted: "Sylvia Hale and Vivienne Porszholt win appeal against Israeli Interior Minister and overturn deportation orders! New precedent is set".
