Jump To Comment: 1 2 3It should come as no surprise to anyone that Israel will refuse exit to sdomeone who is working to highlight their apalling human rights record.
Year in Year out Israel are condemned by Amnesty International and others for having an apalling human rights record yet the world remains silent on this.
Israel jailed Mordechai Vanunu for 18 years for highlighting Israels illegal development of nuclear weapons despite Israel's denial that it has nuclear weapons.
Israel is a dangerous state which is governed at the momnet by a war criminal responsible for the Shabra and Chailta masacres. Israel does not respect international law as can be witnessed by it breaching of UN resolutions and the Geneva Convention. Israel does not respect the rule of law, nor human rights.
However the world remains silent on this, denial is complicity, silence is complicity.
If you give a platform to a Palestinian why not give the same platform to an Israeli (not from the radical left)? There has to be some fairness in this propaganda war. Your anti-Israeli attitude creates division and is not ment to solve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Rather it is a weapon in the hands of those who want to see the elimination of Israel.
seriously, asking for fairness in a "propaganda war" is pretty absurd. But beyond this point it should be noted that any Israeli, or anyone that is williong to advocate and seek support or to justify the actions of the Israeli occupation forces and the isrelai government is more than able to come here and speak of their own accord. Perhaps someone from the Israeli embassy is willing to support this womans attempts to come to irleand and then sit beside her at a table where each and all of the issues are discussed in a frank and honest manner... c'mon, its not like its difficult to justify occupation...
