U.S. student detained in Israel for alleged boycott support

1  2018-10-09 by Azmahh

Here we go again. We gave Israel 3 BILLION dollars this year. OUR tax money. ALL they do Is use these funds to kill Palestinians, fund murder in the middle east, Corrupt our own politics thru AIPAC, and now detain students who stand up for basic human rights. When will say enough is enough.

S.S. In a first-of-its-kind case, Israel has held an American graduate student at its international airport for a whole week, accusing her of supporting a Palestinian-led boycott movement against the Jewish state.

7 days of wrongful imprisonment.

that article says they were going to deport her, but she is appealing, and is isreal says she has to remain in custody during the process. If that's the real story, then it's shitty but her choice to just leave.

"If that's the real story, then it's shitty but her choice to just leave."

I'm glad she's standing her ground, in doing so she's calling attention to the injustices of the despicably racist State of Israel.

If she had simply gone home, we would never have heard of her plight, which is no doubt calling these issues to the attention of many people for the first time.

If Israel refuses an American traveler into their stolen land, based exclusively on her opinion of Israel's current Government. Then we have a situation where the USA needs to stop supporting Israel. If American morals are being used to deny entry into a their Country.

well i mean, that a whole new bag of bananas. I just wanted to clear up the nature of her being detained.

There are no bananas here. Just ugly hypocritical Israeli methods trying to be the shiftiest/evilest group of humans on Earth for the last 50 years running.

I could be wrong, but my guess is that's she's Jewish and has expectations over how she is treated. It would be devastating to face a lifetime ban from your own people.

Link?

Israel is a cesspool.

#makeisraelpalestineagain

Hilarious! Just don't say it too loud, they're listening

MAKEISRAELPALESTINEAGAIN!!!

We are

OK; where are all the HOOAH flag-wavers clamoring for Delta Force to invade and 'rescue our American Hostage!'.

Not just this year, US pays Israel 3 billion every year

Israel has a right to exist and defend itself. There are many Muslim countries why not one Jewish state. Many Muslim countries seek the destruction of Israel. The reverse is not true. Palestinians have rejected deals for two state solution multiple times. I fear the increasing antisemitism in the West and what this could mean for the future of Israel.

To those downvoting, please correct me where you feel I am wrong.

I think it has something to do with your implication that Israel only wants to exist.

Because if I say Israel has a right to exist, you hear “Muslim states do not have a right to exist”? There are many Muslims living peacefully in Israel. Jews do not live freely in Muslim states...

100 years ago all Semitic peoples lived peacefully side by side. We should bring back the ottoman empire..

Or tell the Muslim world that Israel is here to stay...

It's your responsibility to live peacefully with your neighbors.

Again, Muslim states call for the destruction of Israel not the other way around. Are you aware?

Which "Muslim" states?

Given your posting history, I think you would be open to seeing the PragerU videos on this topic. Good luck

Iran has called for the purification of Israel in the same way many high ups in the Israel government have called for the purification of Palestine. I have no issue with a Jewish state, the issue is when they steal money from other countries only to pour it back into their politics to take more all so they can commit genocide. And anyone that speaks against their inhumane acts is anti-Semitic bc of something that happened 80 years ago

I love how your post went from -10 to minus one. Yeah, completely organic! Nothing to see here, goys.

someone did, 4 minutes before you posted this..

You mathed wrong

What does that have to do with Israel detaining a US citizen for supporting a boycott? Israel doesn't have a right to exist either. The land was stolen from palestinians. Once the boomers die off nobody will give a fuck about that apartheid state. The US will cut funding and military aid when all the boomers die off. Nice try JIDF.

Israel has been attacked by its neighbors for 70 years... that’s why they take security so seriously now.

According to the article, she broke a law and instead of being deported, she appealed and is being detained pending this appeal.

Maybe because you guys just up and moved in after ww2. Did your neighbors have any say in it or did ZOG just gift you a country? How much do they pay in the JIDF?

I’m not being paid to post here, that is a conspiracy theory. Jews have been in Israel longer than WW2...

Way longer. Jews have been in judea way before any concept of "palestinian". This is basic, undisputed history.

Us constitution trumps un judges according to trump administration , another keystone in the down Israel agenda #letsgetit

Israel has a right to defend themselves. They do not have the right to detain a foreign national for supporting a boycott of Israeli products.

And what you're observing in America is not a rise of anti-Semitism. It is anti-Zionism.

I wish it wasn’t considered chic to bash Israel and be against its existence. No one would say the same about Muslim states where people have fewer rights.

I think you need to read what I actually wrote instead of spewing a talking point...

They do have the right to detain that woman, to respond directly to your comment.

All you've done is illustrated why so many no longer support Israel :) Thanks

Great reasoning there

What, you want me to type out a well thought response to your "yuh huh, they can too detain her" statement? No thanks, it's just easier to ignore trolls such as yourself.

Except instead of ignoring me you proclaim my support of Israel right to protect and govern itself is somehow the reason why Israel is to be hated. Doesn’t make sense

And that means punishing people who don't buy their products?

Lol.

That’s not the situation here

Then what is bds?

Israel is a far right ethnostate. There is no place for national socialism i.e. zpinism in the modern world.

There is one Jewish state. How many Muslim states are there? Do you cry them as well?

Disgusting. There should be no ethnostates...

Well I’m sorry we don’t live in the utopia you envision. Please downvote me some more

Living peacefully alongside other humans is a utopia?

What the fuck?

Maybe if you weren't so obsessed with your ancient religious rituals other societies would find you more compatible.

Tell that to the Muslim world, for the third time. They call for the destruction of Israel. Israel does not call for the destruction of Muslim states. Be honest with reality.

Why should the US support a country that attacked her? The goyim are finding out about the USS liberty and the lavon affair shekelbergstein. Time is running out for Israel. Tick tock

Fair point

There is one Jewish state. How many Muslim states are there? Do you decry them as well?

Only when they use their militaries to slaughter unarmed civilians.

Israel has a right to protect its borders. Tell Hamas to come to the negotiating table, not to send their civilians to riot at their border, only to have the families compensated for marching their children to death.

Israel has a right to protect its borders.

And yet Israel's backers insist that the US can't protect its border. How typically hypocritical. Regardless, there is no possible way to defend the IDF murdering unarmed civilians.

Well I just did above...

you don't support zionism anymore? yahoo. let's hope it sticks this time.

muslim is an ethnic group? ethnostates are so Nazi.

Israel has a right to exist and defend itself.

You're definition of defend must be different over there.

Sabra hummus is Israeli...if you buy a different brand you may be detained in Israel

What if you put stickers on this Hummus at all your local grocery stores including the public about BDS boycott?

yes man, i got $1 on it every time you go do this

"What if you put stickers on this Hummus at all your local grocery stores informing the public about BDS boycott?"

You may well get arrested for "vandalism" (or some such), and THAT charge may well get a Hate Crime enhancement -- which may well bump it from a misdemeanor to a FELONY charge (as is often the case with Hate Crime enhancements)...

So Your hummus sticker campaign may well land you in PRISON, which would make the ADL and the SPLC very happy.

Ok cool, thanks for the heads up. So basically wear a disguise and have access to several exits having the place cased before hand?

Criticism of Israel is what will get this sub shut down soon. Come on, be good goys.

If a admin or mod said this I wouldn't know to take it as a warning or a threat

the (((mods)))

Stop going to the middle east. Just stop. I have no sympathy for these stupid people going into a different country and speaking out about it only to be arrested. Don't speak badly of your host in their house. Leave first and never go back. Better yet don't go in the first place.

"Stop going to the middle east. Just stop."

She has no right to go there?

  • "Lara Alqasem, a 22-year-old American citizen with Palestinian grandparents, landed at Ben-Gurion Airport last Tuesday with a valid student visa."

Meanwhile, ANY Jew born in ANY country and having ZERO ancestors in living memory having EVER been to Palestine/Israel is guaranteed admission to and citizenship in the Zionist State on the SOLE basis that their mother is Jewish.

You were saying...

"I have no sympathy for these stupid people going into a different country and speaking out about it only to be arrested."

  • "Alqasem is a former president of the University of Florida chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, a group that supports the boycott movement. [...] "In her appeal, Alqasem has argued that she never actively participated in boycott campaigns, and promised the court that she would not promote them in the future. "We're talking about someone who simply wants to study in Israel, who is not boycotting anything," said her lawyer, Yotam Ben-Hillel. "She's not even part of the student organization anymore."

"Don't speak badly of your host in their house."

She didn't "speak out" about ANYTHING while in Israel... she never made it out of Ben Gurion airport.

Why she is being held:

  • Israel enacted a law last year banning any foreigner who "knowingly issues a public call for boycotting Israel" from entering the country. "Lara served as president of a chapter of one of the most extreme and hate-filled anti-Israel BDS groups in the U.S.," said Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan, who is charge of the Israeli government's efforts against the boycott group. "Israel will not allow entry to those who work to harm the country, whatever their excuse."

You know, I the US were to adopt and enforce such a law, it is quite possible that no Israeli politician/ bureaucrat would ever set foot on American soil again.

Hmm...

A wild bootlicker appears.

A lot of stuff is produced in Israel, I think it comes with the agreement we get priority when requested.

Yes, Israel's backers are the leading producers of debt.

Organ trafficking is another industry they're proud of

Add sex trafficking to that list as well

To those in this thread, I would recommend checking out Ryan Dawson's videos.

Fucking ridiculous

I don't care that they're killing people with the money. But I want the money to be spent here in our country and not going to Jews. And I want the Jewish state removed from my country.

This should be voted to the top. Biggest conspiracy total of our times

Imagine any other regime holding an American hostage for weeks.

several major supermarkets here in UK are still openly selling israeli produce

Or tell the Muslim world that Israel is here to stay...
