  1. This is great news. Its nice to see Jewish and Non Jewish Israeli’s treated the same… Both get harassed by the government and threats of jail but in the end good trumped and they were let go.

    Gives hope for the future.

  2. Wow!!! So many protesters! Are you sure that your esoteric confused blog which is filled with unfounded conspiracy theories (remember the Saar slander?) is responsible for his release? I wonder… Well nothing feels better than a nice pat on one’s own back. 🙂 #pathetic

    A journalist, like Ron Ben Yishai, reports the news, an activist, like Kayyal, makes the news.

    1. @ Shoshana: What baloney. He writes for a Lebanese newspaper, As-Safir and edits the Adalah website. You would prefer him not to be considered a journalist because of your own ideological biases. I’ve got news for you: in pre-state days the British authorities saw Palestinian-Jewish reporters as troublemakers and agitators as well, rather than journalists. Plus ca change…

      Yours is a distinctions without a difference.
