Pro-terror activist vacationing in Israel, promoting BDS, thanks to US visa-waiver program
A prominent
pro-Palestinian activist who has called for the destruction of Israel and for
Zionists to be slaughtered is currently touring the Jewish State, due to the
pilot phase of a potential visa waiver program between the
U.S. and Israel.
Nerdeen Kiswani has
been documenting her ongoing visit to Israel on social media, captioning one photo
taken in the northern city of Haifa that she was currently “on stolen land” in
“Occupied Palestine.”
Among public statements made by Kiswani are
demands for a “globalized intifada,” a wish that “the pop-pop [of gunfire] be
the last sound that Zionists hear,” encouraging activists to “free every inch
of Palestine” by “any means necessary,” and praise for “beautiful Palestinian”
terrorists whom she said should “be celebrated.”
In an Instagram post
on Friday, Kiswani explained that although she had been denied entry to Israel
in 2015 due to her vehement anti-Israel advocacy amd participation in the BDS
movement, Israeli authorities were obliged to let her enter the country last
week.
Under the terms of a
fledging visa waiver agreement, Kiswani explained, Israeli authorities could
not deny her entry to the country because she holds an American passport.
Kiswani encouraged
other American national BDS activists who were previously denied entry to
Israel to try to visit the country again and to reach out to the American
Embassy should they encounter challenges with Israeli customs officials.
Beyond visiting
major tourist sites, including the Baha’i Gardens and Al-Aqsa Mosque, Kiswani
recently traveled to Jenin, a terror hotbed in Palestinian Authority-controlled
territory. According to a report from Channel 12 News, she met there with the
father of a slain member of the Lion’s Den terror group.
From Jenin, Kiswani
posted a photo of a wall bearing the photos of various terrorists killed during
clashes with Israeli soldiers, along with a caption affirming her support for
their cause.
Following
Hebrew-language media reports about Kiswani’s visit, Interior Ministry
officials said that she will receive a “yellow letter” upon her departure from
Israel. This document serves as a formal notice that she will need to
coordinate any future visits to the country in advance with the authorities.
