This Arab-American goes to Israel to prostrate before Zionism and she gets humiliated
"This is not how she imagined her visit to Israel. Prof. Donna Shalala, who served as the US Secretary of Health and Human Services for eight years under Clinton and is currently the president of the University of Miami, was held for two-and-a-half hours at Ben Gurion Airport during which she underwent a humiliating security debriefing because of her Arab last name – all this despite the fact that her hosts notified the airport ahead of time that she is a VIP. The fact that Shalala arrived in Israel as part of an official delegation of the heads of universities fighting against the academic boycott against the Jewish State also seemed not to help her." This woman was a progressive when she served in the peace corps in Iran and was privately critical of Israel. Those who try to appease Israel deserve the humiliation that befalls them. (thanks Fahd)
