Federman Today
Federman hosts a weekly Internet program called "Federman Without Censor" which can be heard on the Hebrew section of the Jewish Task Force's website. JTF funds his political and humanitarian activities in Israel.[5]
In November 2005, the Israeli Ministry of Justice expressed its intention to review Federman's application to be licensed as an attorney, claiming that a person with a past as rich with disturbing the peace as his may not be eligible for a license. Federman, addressing the ministry's comment to the press, replied that it was in pattern with the courts' and prosecutor's offices past restrictive behaviour towards him that they would now seek to bar him from acquiring the title he worked for as a law student.
Federman has been held in administrative detention several times.[6][7][8]
