OUTRAGE~Palestinian Blogger Deported by Egypt!!!

This is an absolute OUTRAGE!! Laila El-Haddad and her two children detained for 36 hours in Egypt have now been deported!! Many of you will have read her blog "Raising Yousuf and Noor: dairy of a Palestinian mother " Well, she was attempting to get into Gaza (her HOME) and after being detained for 36 hours, Egypt (acting as an Isareli Agent)has now actually deported her, at this time no one knows to where she has been sent. Disgraceful!!

Palestine: Twittering Gazan Mom Stranded at Cairo Airport Deported after 36 Hours

Her tweets have gone silent and her last message spoke of a deportation to somewhere other than home.

Egypt won't let them through; and El-Haddad's visa to the US, where she has flown from to the Cairo Airport where she was stranded for 36 hours, had expired.

some of her tweets are below:

Galloway Ban Possibly Lifted Today?

Lawyers hope to get Galloway ban lifted today

Lawyers representing George Galloway will appear in federal court on Sunday in an attempt to overturn a government decision that bars the controversial British MP from entering Canada.

Galloway's lawyers are seeking an injunction that will allow him to follow through with four Canadian speaking engagements, planned for this week.

The legal team was expected to make its arguments in Toronto during a scheduled 11 a.m. court appearance.

The federal government accuses Galloway, an outspoken anti-war advocate, of supporting groups that it says engage in terrorist acts.

It appears the government's allegation stems from the fact Galloway made a $45,000 donation to the Hamas government in Gaza, and helped deliver humanitarian goods after Israel's military offensive in the region.

Last week, Galloway told CTV's Question Period that ambulances and medical supplies must be delivered through Hamas because they are the democratically elected government in the Gaza Strip.

The Canadian government includes Hamas on its list of banned terrorist groups.

James Clark, the organizer of Galloway's speaking tour, said that if Galloway is not allowed into the country, he will speak via an electronic link.
