Israel: O.K. to Check Emails of Foreigners at Border

(Before It's News)

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s attorney general on Wednesday upheld a practice to allow security personnel to read people’s email accounts when they arrive at the airport, arguing it prevents militants from entering the country.

The ruling followed an outcry last year when some people trying to enter Israel were ordered to open their emails after hours of interrogation at Israel’s Ben-Gurion airport. In one instance, three Palestinian-American women were forbidden from entering after email checks were conducted.

Critics say it primarily targets Muslims and Arabs and appears to be aimed at keeping out visitors who have histories of pro-Palestinian activism, citing a history of such people being turned away from Israel’s border crossings
