[QUOTE]The United States denied entry this week to a well-known marathon runner from the occupied West Bank, shattering the dreams of a young Palestinian seeking to complete the World Marathon Majors series. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE] Five years ago Alqadi, originally from the Jenin district of the occupied West Bank, moved to France where he applied for and was granted asylum. In France Alqadi was able to begin building a more normal life, free of the constraints of Israel’s occupation. [/QUOTE]
[QUOTE] This year, Alqadi planned to run the Chicago Marathon to raise money for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, an American-based NGO founded in 1991 by “concerned people in the U.S.” who want “to address the medical and humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian youths in the Middle East.” [/QUOTE]

Palestine is not even in USA blacklist. Similar cases of runners in Gaza, but they were blocked by Zionist instead

You've got an amp and a mobile link on there, it'd be nice if you fixed it, [...][/QUOTE]
In this case that doesn't really matter. AMP's a subset of valid HTML5 afaik.
The links still have all the content but load faster and don't have overlay ads that somehow get past my ad blocker.
[QUOTE=Trebgarta;52758397]He wasn't banned, he was denied entry. There is a difference.
USA retains the right to deny entry for any retarded reason as they please, and they very often utilize that right. Doesn't matter if a place is blacklisted, travel-banned or not.
You've got an amp and a mobile link on there, it'd be nice if you fixed it, along with the Zionist slip you have there.[/QUOTE]
That Zionist thing is a weird way to word it but there is a case where a runner from Gaza was denied permission to leave by Israel.
