Goodbye, Malka Leifer, and don't let the door hit you on the way out

With the airports being shut down today for at least the coming week, Malka Leifer made it onto one of the last flights out of Israel.

Leifer was extradited to Australia and banished from the country early this morning. 6 long years of trial after trial and appeal after appeal and protection from the highest levels of government. The Israeli chapter of this story has finally come to an end and now Leifer will have to fight for her claim of innocence in Australia rather than fighting for her claim of illness in Israel.

Good riddance to Malka Leifer, even if only to get her and the danger she presents away from Israel. Israel does not need to be a safe haven for people like her.
