The Israel/Palestine Conflict Mk. IV

ermm please do not include me in your ridiculous statements. Israel is a sovereign nation. She has to contend with unrelenting terrorist threats. If this doctor is not welcome in Israel there are plenty of other countries where he can ply his trade.

THE BEAR HAS SPOKEN!

Now on topic, what do you actually think of Israel and it's ways at the moment?

I would love to make my home in that beautiful country. I would join the IDF if they let me.

I can't blame you, they are just trying to defend themselves but it does look bad. You have to admit some of the things they have done have been iffy?

He was banned because he spoke.out against Israeli brutality. 'He told the BBC he had never broken any Israeli rules during his spells working in Gaza.
But he suggested that his open reporting of the medical situation in the territory had angered the Israeli authorities'

And this is why Israel remains my favourite country.

Israel has every right to defend themselves from terrorists and since this doctor was trying to help HAMAS, they have done nothing wrong

People will defend themselves even if they did wrong. I never said Israel was in the right but I damn well I know I'll fight even if I was in the wrong so I don't get bombed.

Also what about some of the shady killings and celebrating from the other side?

Pretty shameful, obviously. You don't deny people basic healthcare access because you disagree with them. I'm not going to join the Israel-bashing crowd but this is quite blatantly not on.

Basically, Israel banned this doctor for "security concerns"

Thoughts?

hardly major News and current affairs - " random man gets banned from entering country" - happens all the time all over the world

Terorrism: "a person or group who uses terrorism in the pursuit of political aims."

In what way do Israel not fit this definition?
