Maybe National Organization for Women? We should support Iranian women bloggers too! Being the great grand daughter of a renown and influential Shiite Ayatollah and everything... I can speak for hours. Furthermore... I am willing to travel anywhere (places with good air/weather only,) and speak about the importance of blogging for Iranian Women!! I can even speak about the importance of Iran's ancient past and future... belly dancing and Samba are also part of my expertise! I really am as cute as Hoder... maybe cuter! …just a suggestion

Israel routinely stamps visas on a separate paper, because situations like this come up all the time. Again, I give Derakhshan credit for what he's doing but he doesn't need to carry on like he's going to Mars.

This is actually fairly prevalent. While I lived in Saudi as an expat I was not allowed to visit Israel either, even though I am neither a Saudi national or citizen. Also, as an American, I cannot visit Cuba...

But all this drama about immigration issues ("Will Israel let him in?" "Will he be able to go back to Iran?") is just silly. The guy is a journalist with a Canadian passport and a list of hosts and invitations. There is no way Israel wasn't going to let him in (it's hardly like he's the first ethnic Iranian to enter Israel anyway) and they'll routinely stamp his visa on a separate paper.
