16 countries forbid admission to Israeli passport holders. Where are the protests?

the Holy Land was granted to the tribes of Israel by the Almighty. there is nothing else to say.

Boring.

so insightful.

No. True.

" granted to the tribes of Israel by the Almighty" was very insightful though.

hmmm it is the Truth

Israel is a legitimate state. Building settlements on the soil of Eretz Israel is the right thing to do. Jews from the whole diaspora including Ethiopia are welcome to here.

Not unless you are Jewish. And even then it is a perceived truth.

Nonetheless, ... just because they come from a country that does bad things.

We generally don't hold largely tinpot middle eastern dictatorships to the same standards as a modern, democratic nation whose politics has global impact for rather obvious reasons; kind of the same reason why we're not shocked by civil war in Congo while if North Carolina invaded South Carolina, it'd be far more newsworthy and surprising.

Israel do the same to them, this is a lousy argument and it's due to a conflict that's been going on for years. Both sides have commited illegal offences, one side still oftenlynbreaches international law hence why these countries have imposed travel sanctions on it. I don't even think Israel would allow their people to go to these countries? Going back would certainly result in strong interrogation. It's a 2 way thing so don't try and pin it on these countries, Israel is no better.

and most of those states that ban israelis from entering also are banned from entering israel.

not banning JEWS, banning ISRAELIS

While not 100% certain i don't believe Israel has any travel bans in place, in either direction.

Obviously you claim they do, you have any evidence to back it up?

Mute point anyway.

If you believe Trumps Muslim ban to be wrong , the Muslim countries Jew ban is wrong too and If Israel had a ban in place that would be wrong also.

You're right, having read deeper it turns out they're banned to travel to Israel but from their own government. Whilst I'm still against the ban and I'm happy to hear Israel don't impose such bans (although they aren't very kind at the boarder), you have understand these bans are completely different and is due to a conflict dating way back that has caused numerous wars and attacks and is still an on-going conflict due to Israel's ongoing abuse of international law as they see it (I don't want to debate this issue but it is a valid arguement in their view).

Trumps ban doesn't just effect tourism, it effects those who were in mid-air, fleeing persecution in their own country, seeking a better life or to keep their life. It also effected those who were residents in america with an established life and career who Traveled and now can't return.

Whilst I see his point about terrorism I think he should at least be taking in those with desperate need, he shouldn't have turned away those in mid air and certainly not those with established lives in the USA. Do you think it's the fair the USA brings countries down to the ground like Iraq and Libya, destroys their resources and lives then says they cannot leave their country? It sounds like a story out of world war 2. In Isolation i ageee with what the ban wants to achieve but I don't think the ban will be effective at it and its seriously flawed. Looking at the bigger picture, it's disgraceful to see what America is doing, first destroying countries and lives then saying they can't seek a better life, I thought the idea of the American dream is what made America so great? I thought spreading that dream was the purpose of the Iraq and Libyan wars? Clearly not. It's time America took responsibility for its actions, I can't point the finger at trump and blame him because truth be told, foreign policy in the US has been a disaster for decades including Obamas.

Israel is an illegitimate state. Stop building illegal settlements. Stop ethnic cleansing.stop racism towards Ethiopians and other black migrants.

and most of those states that ban israelis from entering also are banned from entering israel.

Do you have any proof of that?

I dont believe you have.

not banning JEWS, banning ISRAELIS

Fair enough, so Trump hasn't banned Muslims hes banned Iraqis and Syrians etc.

Glad that ones cleared up.
