Journalist Eoin Wilson reflects on Israel’s policy of deporting foreign witnesses to the Israeli occupation.
Last September, the United Nations Human Rights Council called for international action to curb what it described as “an Israeli campaign to evict international workers”.
As Israel tightens its grip on Palestinians and their international supporters, a growing number of activists, researchers and journalists have been denied access by the Israeli authorities.
Among them is Eoin Wilson, an Irish-Scottish freelance journalist specialising in social movements and international solidarity activism. Earlier this month, he was refused entry and banned for 10 years. Here, he reflects on his ordeal at the hands of Israeli interrogators.
