Harmeet Sooden – known for being kept in confinement in Iraq for a while a few years back, continues his life of comedy. This time in Israel.

“They never disclosed the official reason for denying me, the Ministry of Interior official told me that I was a threat to the security of the state of Israel.

“It dredged up some old feelings. I told them honestly that I had come to revisit Yad Vashem, visit historic sites and volunteer for ISM.”

Gee, that’s like saying “They never told me why I had to wear a coat, they only told me it was raining.” and
“I told them honestly I knew it was raining and I was volunteering to get utterly soaked.”

Also pure comedy gold is this:

A statement from the organisation says Mr Sooden was detained behind bars for four days, offered no legal representation and subjected to physical violence, including being dragged on to a plane, before he was deported on Wednesday.

Again, that’s like saying the police were brutal because you were arrested even though you resisted.

And finally, we have this perler.

Yesterday an International Solidarity Movement spokesman said the group had been excited about Mr Sooden’s arrival – his first return to the Middle East since the 2005 abduction. “People have a huge amount of respect for him here.”

Hm, I wonder if those people were the ones that captured him and killed one of his friends, or the other side who he’s opposed to, but rescued him anyway only to have him spit in their face?

Whale Oil and Save the Humans have also opined on this one.
