Dissent not allowed

Israel appears to see an Australian peace activist as a threat to national security:

"An Australian woman has been detained by Israeli authorities for the past five days after refusing to leave the country."

Shiri Lock had been planning to attend a peace conference in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, but was denied entry into Israel.

"'Well, Shiri and her friends are actually peace activists and they have come to a non-violent conference in Bethlehem, and she was denied entry under the reason that she presents a security threat,' [her lawyer] said."

"'We believe that peace activists do not represent any security threat or other threat to the state and that's why we decided to appeal.'"

Israel is notoriously frightened of dissent within its own borders, such is the fragility of its democracy.

Whether or not it makes sense is up to the Israeli government, which doesn't care about the reasoning powers of an antisemite.

As most of these phony activists seem more concerned with covering for palestinian terrorism than peace, it is not unreasonable for Israel to boot out known hate mongers.

Unlike the palestinians, the Israel does not kill traitors.

Vananu was tried and found guilty. Part of his sentence has to do with no contact of foreign elements.

Israel doesn't have to give you a reason you are willing to accept.

They gave their reason and the voters accept the reason. You don't? Who cares?

I say let them elect hamas, and suffer the consequences.

I guess you'll have to ask them. Maybe they give a shit about an antisemite's concerns.

You'll take it that you have to ask them. Maybe they give a shit about an antisemite's concerns.

Vanunu has been sentanced and given conditions upon his release, all conditions which could be legally imposed.

He has every right to go back to court and legally challange those conditions. He doesn't have the right to violate them.

That's how it works. Don't like it? Tough. Go there, form a political party, run and get elected and form a new government and change the laws.

Of course, you could try a military take over and become the tyrant you desire to be.

Perhaps our noted antisemite will have to ask the Israeli government.

Likely they will laugh in his face as we do.

Why would an antisemite ask questions that no one will answer? Doesn't he realize that antisemites are the assholes of earth, and few will talk to them?


Perhaps he is a dense as he is stupid?
