Afraid of Free Speech? Israel Deports Nobel Peace Prize Winner

[gryfin]

Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire joins an esteemed list of people with opinions and ideas that Israeli's don't have the intellectual horsepower to deal with.

"The Israeli Supreme Court has upheld the deportation of Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire, who had tried to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories last week, a spokeswoman for the Israeli judiciary said Monday.

"Mairead Maguire is one of the most nonviolent people I know," said Jody Williams, a fellow Nobel laureate who attended the hearing at the high court. "In fact, we often have sharp words with each other because she is so nonviolent, and I am a tad more passionate."

I guess Israel would like to keep 85% of the world out of Israel

Mairead Maguire was denied entry because of her attempt to run the Israeli blockade of Gaza. Not because she wanted to give a speach in which she said unpleasant things about her host state.

That´s right, Fuji, íts only because Israel is on its way to fascism, it has nothing to do with the flottilla.
Anyone who denies Israel´s right to cause humanitarian crimes at will should obviously be banned from Israel, next thing you know and they´ll be asking for equal rights for all.

You live in your own little fantasy world too, flubber. The flotilla was an act of war against Israel, of course they're going to ban anyone they can who was part of it. Why wouldn't they?
