"Israel: Court Blocks Rights Activist From Traveling"; World Briefing from AP; A12
Perhaps to undermine the Israeli Supreme court's decision, a report in the World Briefing did not mention the name of the "militant group" that Shawan Jabarin, director of Al-Haq, was a member. It was the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a faction of the former Palestine Liberation Organization.
The award Jabarin received, the Geuzen Medal, is named after a World War II Dutch resistance group. That a member of the PLO could receive a medal connected to resistance against the Nazis speaks to the complex and distorted psyche of some Europeans.
