Thread: "Democracy" Israel Arrests American Academic

NORMAN FINKELSTEIN ARRESTED IN ISRAEL

WAY TO GO ONLY DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST!

Jerusalem - The US political author and critic of Israel Norman Finkelstein was denied entry to the Jewish state on Friday, his lawyer said.

Finkelstein landed at Ben Gurion international airport near Tel Aviv in the early morning and was told by a representative of the ministry of interior that he would not be allowed into the country on ’security’ grounds, attorney Michael Sfard told dpa.

‘This usually means a 10-year ban on entry,’ Sfard added.

Finkelstein, who is Jewish and the son of Holocaust survivors, has written critical books on Israeli policies in the Palestinian territories and on what he called ‘exploitation’ of the Jewish tragedy during World War II.

Finkelstein has received with the fierce disapproval of some authors and academics, while others have praised his controversial works.

This is the "democracy" which the U.S. government steals billions of our tax dollars for?

The guy is an undesireable who was undoubtedly on his way into the west bank to stir up trouble. I see no problem at all denying him entry.

What the hell is an "undesirable?" Maybe Israel should start exterminating all these "undesirables" who criticize their policies? :whistling:
