Should a country ban people who oppose its policies from entering? My latest in FrontPage:
The vehemently anti-Semitic and anti-Israel Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have been banned from entering Israel, and Leftists are furious. Surely Israel, and its ally in the Oval Office, have made a major blunder, no? Not necessarily.
Rep. Justin Amash fumed: “Israel should stand up to President Trump and allow our colleagues to visit. Nobody has to agree with their opinions, but it will inevitably harm U.S.-Israel relations if members of Congress are banned from the country. We must find ways to come together; there’s enough division.”
Sure, but would Omar and Tlaib touring around Israel, providing grist for the mill of the Palestinian propaganda jihad and calling for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) measures against the Jewish state really help us “come together”?
After all, they were banned due to “suspected provocations and promotion of BDS.” And there is certainly no doubt that they would have promoted the genuinely neo-Nazi BDS movement while in Israel. Is Israel, or any other state, really obligated to allow entry to anyone who is its implacable foe, dedicated to its ultimate destruction?
Rep. David Cicilline think so. “This is a grave mistake by the Israeli government,” he thundered. “Democracy is about accepting that others don’t always share your views and respecting the right to disagree.” Presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren also cast aspersions on Israeli democracy, tut-tutting that “Israel doesn’t advance its case as a tolerant democracy or unwavering US ally by barring elected members of Congress from visiting because of their political views.”
Did Cicilline, Warren, or anyone else question Britain’s commitment to democracy when the British Home Office banned Pamela Geller and me from entering that country? Of course not. Have they ever questioned the ever-lengthening line of foes of jihad terror that Britain has banned? Not at all.
When Geller and I were banned from Britain in 2013, I received an official letter from the British Home Office, notifying me that I would not be allowed to enter the country on the grounds that “your presence here is not conducive to the public good.” The letter to me said:
You are reported to have stated the following:
[Islam] is a religion and is a belief system that mandates warfare against unbelievers for the purpose for establishing a societal model that is absolutely incompatible with Western society because media and general government unwillingness to face the sources of Islamic terrorism these things remain largely unknown.
I said no such thing, of course. I generally speak and write in coherent English. But the point is clear enough. I certainly have pointed out that Islam mandates warfare against unbelievers. This is not really a controversial point to anyone who has studied Islam at all. No one who is honest can actually deny that Islam has doctrines of warfare against unbelievers.
But the British government is committed to ignoring and denying that Islam teaches violence, and so I was banned. This was a parallel act to the present-day banning of Tlaib and Omar from entering Israel, isn’t it? I opposed the British government, and so was banned, and they oppose the Israeli government, and so they were banned. Thus I can’t consistently support the banning of Tlaib and Omar without endorsing my own banning from Britain, right?
Wrong. Here is the difference: Tlaib and Omar support a movement that is trying to bring about Israel’s destruction. They have both surrounded themselves with individuals who have advocated and are working toward that destruction. Israel is under no obligation to welcome its enemies, any more than any other country is.
In contrast, Pamela Geller I opposed the mass Muslim migration that is destroying the British national character and the willful ignorance regarding the motivating ideology behind the jihad terror threat that has made all British citizens more vulnerable than they used to be or need to be. Geller and I wanted to work toward the protection and defense of Britain, not its destruction.
The British government did not and does not see it that way. As far as it is concerned, Pamela Geller and I are potentially threatening to its continued peace and harmony, just as Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib are to the peace and harmony of Israel.
But the truth cannot be suppressed forever, and can be discovered in this case by a simple pair of hypotheticals. Imagine if both the British government and the Israeli government continue on the paths they’re on: the British continuing to ignore the genuine root causes of jihad terror and turning the other way as Muslim rape gangs operate, and the Israelis continuing to fight back against BDS and Palestinian propaganda. Which state is likely to be healthier in five years, or ten?
The answer is clear in both cases. Britain has chosen the path of national suicide, banning its friends and admitting all too many of its foes (numerous jihadis have been admitted into the country with no questions asked). Israel, by contrast, is determined to survive. Without the will to live, what will become of Britain?

Angemon says
There are two groups who play identity politics as you describe them: the left in general and white supremacists. White supremacists are a fringe group that is routinely vilified and despised in mainstream culture. The left? Not so much. Leftist activists enjoy free, positive coverage in the mainstream media, even covering up violent actions.
What’s the difference, in practice, between leftist activists wanting safe spaces for “people of colour” and white supremacists wanting to place minorities on a separate place? None. Even the motivation is the same, albeit from a different perspective: leftists want to protect “people of colour” from whites, white supremacists want to protect whites from non-whites.
BTW, speaking of divisive rhetoric. Remember how Hillary excoriated Trump for allegedly not wanting to accept the results of the election? Like Hillary, that didn’t age well. If you want to talk about divisive rhetoric, take it to the Dems and their far-left cohorts who spent the last 3 years trying to undermine the American democratic process and delegitimize Trump by any means necessary. Those whackos and their supporters in the media and academia are the problem, not the white supremacists (which, apparently, is anyone opposing leftisis).
S. L. Lester says
They are not Americans they are evil bitches here to destroy America. Oh yes they will be stopped. All this White Supremacy bull shit has got to stop. There is no one more superior than any of us. This is the Democrats and the media putting this shit in your heads. In order to destroy us from the inside out. We all have the same rights and the same opportunities in life. It is up to you to get out there and get it. No one is going to hive you anything to gelp you advance in life. The government will give you a place to live and food. The people that get that have to use it to get up on your feet and get an education or find a better job. If you do neither than you have settled for that kind of life. Either way ypu do it you still have a way better life in this country all these freedoms that have been taken for granted. The white supremacy is just a excuse for you to hold your self back. In America everyone has the opportunity to do anything you want to do or be what you want to be. You just got to get off your ass and do it.

Cicero says
Britain is nurturing its own source of destruction by allowing unlimited immigration from Islamic countries and facilitating the growth of their institutions such as mosques madrasahs and Islamic Free schools ( the latter funded by the British taxpayers ).
This was very evidenced by the massive anti India demonstration on the anniversary of India’s Independence in a central London on Thursday August 15 th 2019.
At 5000 males between the ages of 20 -50 years massed outside the Indian Embassy in Holborn. They were bussed in from all over the U.K. They were waving Pakistan National flags and shouting anti India slogans ( some of it were obscenities). They surrounded the small pro India demonstration who were singing and making music and of course waving the flag of India.
The anti India mob became unruly and began throwing eggs tomatoes and full water bottles against the pro India celebrators. Two were hurt and they had to seek refuge in the Indian Embassy since it was not safe for them to be facing the Islamic mob.

JimmerZ says
Muslim and Islam are not a religion because they are filled with hatred for others, have words to describe the killing of others who disagree, use mind controling tactics in their religion to get people to strap bombs on themselves, and do not accept Western views, not will they try to fit in with their society.
They really are forms of preordained governments from earlier times in history.
Name one Muslim Islam nation that is a tourist destination and what would you do when you get there?

I know someone from Israel who takes the side of the Palestinians. and condemns Israeli leaders. If they would only be more tolerant and more ready to say positive things about the Palestinians.and make concessions then there would be reciprocation and peace. So it may be that the places of Britain and Israel could reverse sometime, like Canada went from a conservative to a pro-Muslim PM in one election.
mortimer says
No, James, the problem Pallies have with Israel is caused by Islamic supremacism. If they leave Islam, they will have no further problem with the existence of Israel.
On your second point, there is anti-Semitism in UK, but in Canada the major anti-Semitism comes from Muslims. You have to see Al Quds Day to realize how much ordinary Muslims hate Jews. It is not an overgeneralization to say that.

I assume you’re talking about a Jewish Israeli. If so, then this is not news. Israel is a democracy and many of its citizens hold such views and are quite vocal about it.
When you say, “If they would only be more tolerant and more ready to say positive things about the Palestinians.and make concessions then there would be reciprocation and peace,” am I correct in understanding that you agree with your friend? If so, then what do you (and your friend) want Israelis to be more tolerant of? Being picked off like flies every day? Plotting with hostile powers to annihilate your country? What positive things would you like them to say about Palestinians? That should be interesting.

If Tliab is any exampme of Pro Palestinians it is no wonder that the Palestinians are dispised? She is a hate spewing vile woman. Never welcome to my home.
Walter Sieruk says
Those two Muslim politicians Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib being so very anti-Jewish and anti-Israel must also be, in hidden essence, very anti-American .As the former US President ,William Howard Taft, had so wisely declared in a speech “Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”
Furthermore, those two anti –Israel Muslim politicians are ignorant fools for the Jews have every right to that land that now makes up the State of Israel. For the Jewish people have every right to all of that land, including the West Bank, by Divine Right. As seen, for example, in Genesis 28:13-15. 35:48, 49. Psalms 105:7-11. 135:4. Furthermore, the Jewish people should also have that land by historic rights. As found in First Kings 4:20,21,24,25. 8:55,56.
As Psalm 135:4. reads “For the Lord has chosen Jacob for Himself . Israel for His special treasure.” [N.K.J.V.]
Rarely says
It is difficult for some people to grasp that their belief, as derived from their religious texts, does not necessarily make it “divine”. Over 80% of mankind does not believe that the Old and New Testaments represent The Truth or the Almighty deity. You certainly would have an uphill battle trying to convince muslims that the Bible proves Israel’s right to anything. Good luck with that.
FYI says
Actually………the koran CONFIRMS that Israel is the rightful land of the Jews.
Koran 5:20-26
muslims surely cannot deny their own koran.
“O my people!Go into the Holy Land which allah hath ordained for you”
FYI says
There were no muslims at that time and islam didn’t exist then so the people referred to could only have been Jews.
CogitoErgoSum says
FYI, you forget that Muhammad said Moses was a Muslim; Moses just didn’t know it. Yes, it takes a convoluted way of thinking to get that but Muhammad’s mind worked that way.

FYI, as CogitoErgoSum notes, this only applies to Jews who are actually Muslims. That this is ahistorical does not bother irrational Muslims.
Dan says
That’s the difference between America and most other countries.
America doesn’t ban people who opposed their policies, BECAUSE of their most treasured 1st Amendment.
Although in reality the Constitution only applies to American citizens and a country can refuse entry to whomever they want.
But that’s besides the point.
The instant it’s KNOWN you support violence, and violent groups, to back your policies, then I’d say yes, you can be banned from the country.
But then there’s that pesky Constitution again because, what do you do with all these democrats and liberals who support Antifa, and CAIR, and Hammas.
And those never ending/will you just shut your whining pie holes up already and move to the muslim country of your choice, victims, the Palestinians,
Debdee says
Exactly. Why do we allow them to bring their violence and hate to our homes and country? Now i see why they have been so hell bent on destroying religion in our schools. Yes Christian religion. To open the door to muslim and taking away Christian hope and peace.
Have we forgotten the great Christian Muslim wars? The Great Crusades?
lebel says
“Wrong. Here is the difference: Tlaib and Omar support a movement that is trying to bring about Israel’s destruction.”
No, that’s your interpretation. They have not called for Israel’s destruction, they are supporting a boycott until Israel abides by International law. Just because Robert Spencer says it does not make it true. We know that even criticism of Israel is anti-semitism for you (https://www.jihadwatch.org/2014/01/canadian-pm-harper-criticizing-israel-is-anti-semitic) but that the Bosnian genocide is the genocide-that-never-was.
By the way, I do NOT agree with BDS but I also don’t agree that its a genocide. This is actually insulting to those who have been affected by real genocide.
Joe says
That’s not correct. BDS calls for Israel’s replacement by a Palestinian state, and Israel does abide by international law, unlike the Palestinians who engage in and incite terrorism.
mortimer says
Lebel, there you go again. Tlaib and Omar are clearly anti-Semitic. Criticism of Israeli policies may not be anti-Semitic, but denying the right of Israel to exist is anti-Semitism and Islamic supremacism … which contains an undeniably inherent anti-Semitism. Lebel, you will eventually abandon Islam if you continue reading JihadWatch. There is no argument with which to defend it. Your intellectual backwardness and obscurantism will eventually yield to facts and reason. You will gradually admit to yourself the indefensible things of Islam. Your distractions will eventually fail you and you will face the facts and lose your faith.
O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble … Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith. – Koran 5.101-102
lebel says
“but denying the right of Israel to exist is anti-Semitism and Islamic supremacism … which contains an undeniably inherent anti-Semitism.”
Are either congresswomen denying Israel’s right to exist? supporting BDS is not denying Israel’s right to exist, it calls for an end to occupation and the right to return.

Giacomo Latta says
Total bullshit, lebel.
International ”law” is set by the UN (one muslim shithole country, one vote). If BDS worked to perfection Israel would be an economic basket case with its citizens fleeing to more stable countries as it would not have the money to defend itself from internal and external enemies. So to say that BDS followers do not seek the destruction of Israel is disingenuous, as you always are.
Don McKellar says
Banning somebody who is openly working to harm your country like these two little moslem monsters are to Israel, is completely different than banning people who are only speaking about hard to swallow truths and facts that the current government doesn’t approve of people publicly speaking about — like Robert Spencer does. One is in the national interest, the other is in the political interest.
mortimer says
TLAIB and ILHAN were automatically banned from Israel by making statements that disqualified them from entry under Israeli law.
Robert Spencer has done a great job of explaining some of the differences between the situation of Tlaib, Ilhan and himself. Tlaib and Ilhan have called for the destruction of Israel and support those who make attacks on Jews. They are trying to enter Israel in order to encourage violent enemies of Israel and encourage Jew hatred. This threatens the very existence of Israel since they constantly deny Israel’s right of to act in self-defense.
On the other hand, Robert Spencer has constantly advocated for human rights, denounced violence or discrimination against people on the grounds of religion or national origin and he has always as an American he has never asked for any harm to come to the UK or its citizens nor has he ever said a word in support of terrorism or discrimination. The UK’s and Canada’s top police detectives both failed to find libellous comments in anything Robert Spencer has said or written in the last thirty years.
They had to invent falsehoods to justify banning Spender … it amounts to slander from the Home Office.
Tlaib and Ilhan have broken Israel’s laws regarding advocating boycotts or divestment aimed at destroying Israel. They are banned automatically by Israel’s laws.
gravenimage says
Yes–Spencer and Geller were banned from Britain because *Muslims* are apt to be violent.
Michael Copeland says
Theresa May, when Home Secretary banning Robert Spencer from entering UK, could not even quote the law correctly.
She said he had made statements that MAY foster hatred.
The law does not have “may”. “May” makes this category everlastingly extendable.
The law cites “statements which foster hatred”.
Captain Seamus says
Their being “banned” is a lie anyway – Tlaib was told she could enter to visit her grandmother for humanitarian reasons – she couldn’t meet with enemies of the state of Israel.
Further, they both entered the name “Palestine” as the country they wished to enter. No such country exists.
Further still, we do have “do not fly” lists and people we do not allow into our country even now. Israel is it’s own sovereign state – that they are government officials is a big whoop if they are not on official government business. They are not (contrary to their own opinions).
Not seeing a big problem with them being kept out, especially when it’s exposed for the lie that it is.
AFA Mr Spencer and Ms Geller being banned from UK – yeah, while I am deeply saddened by this turn of events, it really goes to shine a light on how far down the anti-freedom road the UK has slid… We (USA) haven’t yet shut down people from coming in unless they are actively against the state – the UK has. Pity.

Hoping that Britain can reverse the ban on RS and that Trump can influence matters about RS and Tommy Robinson with the new PM.
Trump really should bring in Robert Spencer to counsel the administration after 2020 for greater vision!
James Lincoln says
CRUSADER,
I agree with your post. I have posted before about how Pres. Trump should intervene on Tommy Robinson’s behalf. I have even recommended that the United States government offer asylum to Tommy.
Robert Spencer would be a fantastic addition to Pres. Trump’s advisory team.
I doubt that the UK is going to reverse the ban on Robert Spencer. They are petrified of the truths that he speaks regarding normative, plain-vanilla, Islam. The dreaded “breach of the peace” would incite violence among the triggered Muslims.
Rarely says
The Congresswomen are likely just using Israel as a stopping off point om their way to the West Bank where it is expected that they would show solidarity and give valuable encouragement and reinforcement to jihad against Israel. That certainly justifies banning them.
OTOH they ARE legally elected members of the U.S. House of Representatives and, as such, are entitled to extra consideration. Banning them, however justified, must not be done lightly. That, in itself, distinguishes itself from the cases of Spencer and Geller.
However much I disagree with Britain on banning Spencer and Geller while stupidly allowing in pro-Jihad advocates is irrelevant. The doctrine of “Freedom of Speech” differs between the most otherwise similar western democracies but, in no case of which I am aware, does it extend to foreigners not physically inside the country.

CogitoErgoSum says
These women are elected Representatives of the U.S. Congress. They need to know which way the people they represent want them to vote on specific issues. Why are they going ANYWHERE outside the United States? The people they need to talk with are in the UNITED STATES. Why aren’t they making the rounds inside their own Congressional districts and talking to the people whom they represent? Omar and Tlaib were not elected to represent the people of any other country — real or imaginary. These two should stay in the U.S and get a feeling for its people — unless they want to quit the U.S. and go back to where their real allegiance lies. They should leave foreign affairs to the President and the Senate — who are the ones designated by the Constitution to be responsible for working out treaties. Like Trump, because of the way they act I can’t help but think of these two as being foreigners who need to go back home.

Precisely. You guys are working for the public good, while they are working for destruction of the West.

You are correct! And that is exactly how it works, some people get this reasoning. It’s not from a level swivel tray that things are administered evenly. It depends on what is being addressed. Which is why I can simultaneously be for banning islam in schools and for Christianity being taught in public schools. Is it biased in a certain way? Yes. And I will admit that. I do discriminate, and am proud of it. I do so because I am a Christian, and I favor Christianity, and I have my beliefs and convictions about what is good, and I live by them and also promote them for society! Sometimes… it is good to discriminate and to be biased! So there!

There is only one verdict for them: ENTRY REFUSED. Tell them, this decision of Benjamin Netanyahu is coming from a man with no diaper under his garments.
