Respected as a human-rights activist by HRW, Amnesty International, and various Palestinian human-rights groups, and condemned by many Israeli and other organizations, Jabarin has been described as "an activist to some, a terrorist to others."[3][editorializing] While he has won many human-rights awards and contributed to such journals as Foreign Policy,[4] Israel's Supreme Court has called him a "senior activist" for the PFLP.[5][6] Jabarin has been barred from entering Jordan on security grounds,[6] and was banned from international travel by Israel between 2006 and 2013.
