Egyptian journalist suspended for visiting Israel ( And so should he be)

Journalists union suspends 'October' editor for three months after he says he visited Israel more than 25 times; another editor warned for receiving Israeli ambassador at her house
A five-member panel, citing union rules barring support for normalization of ties with Israel, issued a warning against Mustafa, rather than taking more serious action.
"We limited ourselves to issuing a warning because the commission's job is not to punish or seek vengeance against a colleague but to guarantee decisions are taken in a democratic manner," said panel member Gamal Fahmi.
