I've never heard of someone being held for a week over this.
I don't know about the US BDS movement, but over here in the UK we usually give people a training session on how to get through the interrogation.
Wow. Comparisons of that government to a certain band of fascists seems to be getting more and more accurate every week.
Gotta get that Lebensraum for God's Chosen.
Ironic for a people once hunted by fascists to become one themselves.
>supporting BDS
>moving to israel to study in hebrew u
maeks you think
lmao that training session is garbage, the security at ben gurion can see past it easily
Judea Uber Alles, my friends. Judea Uber Alles.
What makes me think is the hostility toward human rights groups. What does a state not involved in human rights violations have to fear from human rights advocates?
Breaking the Silence has no problems operating in israel, same with B'tselem and Gisha. There are plenty of human rights organizations that work freely in israel with no problems but you guys arent interested in the truth, you're interested in your little circlejerk.
lmao israel wants lebensraum so bad we gave up the sinai after 73, signed the Oslo accords giving some land in the West Bank to the PA, and withdrew Gaza in 2006. You talk shit about "gods chosen" but the israeli police have created a unit to deal with settler violence and it's been universally condemned. If you actually read the wiki article you linked you would see that
imagine being this ignorant
In the Oslo Accords, Israel agreed to recognize Palestine as a negotiation partner, "no more, no less" . Israel pulled out of Gaza, after they caused 70% of innocent civilians to lose their jobs! AND caused poverty rates to skyrocket to 80%! Palestine has yet to recover! In the ceasefire agreement in 2008, they promised to increase imports/exports into Gaza in order to counter this effect. They refused to fulfill this promise, AND Israeli officials stated that they'd keep Palestine on the brink of collapse! AND THEY BROKE THAT CEASEFIRE, AS WELL!
Just because they've made light concessions doesn't mean that they're innocent
Israel recognizes Palestine as a negotiation partner, the Palestinian Authority is that partner. Hamas is not part of the Palestinian authority. Israel pulled out of Gaza as an agreement with the Palestinians, the Israeli jobs that came along with the Israeli presence in Gaza also left because what's the point of keeping israeli jobs in a Palestinian area? Israel is importing stuff into gaza all the time, Hamas appropriates most of it for their own uses. Israel has broken no ceasefires, all of Israel's operations in Gaza have been reactive to Hamas violence.
I think you don't understand the difference between the West bank and Gaza or Hamas and the PA
I don't see why you keep replying to these threads, they start the same and end the same always.
It's the same shit every time, with the same faulty 'arguments', with the same posters posting the same shit having learned nothing.
Let them have their circlejerk, they're powerless to do anything anyway and amount to nothing in the grand scheme of things.
you underestimate how boring my job is, arguing here is way more fun than dealing with bitchy dosi #48
also if i get enough hasbara points ill get a night with bar rafaeli and gal gadot
That's some pretty specific knowledge for someone who just joined today. Happen to have any Cigarettes?
Lmao I wish I got paid to argue with brainlets that claim to know the entire situation but can't even tell the difference between Gaza and the west bank or Hamas and the Palestinian Authority. Why would Israel pay me to post on an obscure forum? What I find hilarious about this is that you can't imagine someone just simply disagreeing with you so you have to accuse them of being paid because God forbid someone has a different opinion.
No but you're pretty clearly accusing me of being a shill
Well, you sure seem like one
How do you justify a student being detained for a week for supporting a fucking boycott?
You're either a shameless shill or a disgusting excuse for a human being. I'll let you pick which.
If she supports the boycott, why even go to study in israel? Why should Israel allow her in when she openly supports policies that harm Israel, especially since she has an easy out by just renouncing BDS?
lmao im sorry my opinion on the Israel/Palestine conflict based off on tons of hours of research, talking with both Israelis and palestinians, visiting disputed areas, and taking university courses on the conflict doesnt match with your opinion that's based off of skimming news headlines about israel. It's amazing how arrogant you are, talking down to someone that's actually experienced the conflict about how they are wrong while you sit in the US, never having actually done any real research about the conflict and not even understanding the basic history of the conflict but popping off with your misinformed opinion because you saw a headline once that israel was mean to some palestinians and didnt bother to find out the context.
I actually have done my research. And I go out of my way to do more semi-regularly. I'm glad you spout absolutely complete bullshit and propaganda from a fascist regime, but I don't actually give a shit about demonstrable crap and pitiful excuses for the mass slaughter of civilians and oppression. It's not an argument you will ever have the ground to win on.
Because free fucking market? Nobody is under any obligation to buy any products to be allowed to operate within society. It's basic consumer choice. Should France ban foie gras boycotters from entering? That's fucking retarded.
Besides, how would that even justify detaining someone? We're talking about taking away one's freedom here.
Same reason why people who hate the US Government live in the USA.
Fucking hell they promised me a night out with ayelet zurer! i want my hasbara points back.
Its amazing how much of a cesspol this board have become where its an endless circlejerk on Trump and Israel. Like seriously people are calling BDS a humans right group lmao
I've pondered on doing the Israel Birthright thing because I am able to do it.
but I wonder if I would get dragged away for saying hoiw israel treats palestinians is kinda fucked up.
you wont lol. its a fun trip go do it
they let her enter israel:
https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/High-Court-rules-State-must-release-Lara-Alqasem-from-airport-for-studies-569755
Hendel also seemed to take Alqasem’s side that her prior BDS activities had related to a small group will little real impact, though at the same time he defended the state’s right to bar entry to top current BDS activists.
He wrote that with a top BDS activist, a democracy has a right to defend itself just as much as an individual has a right of self-defense.
Justice Anat Baron added that the evidence of Alqasem’s current BDS activity, as opposed to her past, was so flimsy, that it seemed that the state had blocked her due to her political views.
If so, she said the court needed to step in to prevent this slippery slope from continuing.
The court also stated that there should be a higher standard of evidence for revoking a visa that has already been granted, as occurred in Alqasem's case, than for denying a visa to begin with.
Alqasem’s lawyer Yotam Ben Hillel and Leora Bechor praised the ruling as, “a victory for free speech, academic freedom and the rule of law…Lara has ensured that no one else should be denied the right to enter Israel based on sloppy Google searches.”
....but they also detained her. Your point?
if you read the article or even the quote i copied and pasted, Israel cannot do this again based on this standard of evidence. The state now has to screen more before the visa or let them in, no other choice.
maybe the fact it happened in the first place is the problem here
