Joe Biden, reacting to Israel’s decision to deny entry to people who advocate its destruction, said:
“I have always been a stalwart supporter of Israel—a vital partner that shares our democratic values. No democracy should deny entry to visitors based on the content of their ideas—even ideas they strongly object to. And no leader of the free world should encourage them to do so.”
But Joe, if you support Israel’s right to exist as an independent nation, then you concede it has the right to manage its own internal affairs, including deciding who to admit and who to deny. Otherwise, if Israel lacks that power, then it’s not an independent nation, it’s a colony and you’re playing the role of emperor, telling the locals what they can and cannot do. Which is precisely what you accuse President Trump of doing.
So why should I vote for you, and not for him?

The extent to which the Democrats need their supporters to be uninformed morons is frightening.
I wish someone would ask those America hating, muzzy ingrates if they can name one muzzy country that would allow someone to enter for the purposes of telling “the truth” about Islam, and maybe do a bit of Christian proselytizing.
It’s not surprising a country in the Middle East decides to ban foreigners entry on the basis of their political opinions. That Israel would choose to join them is a sign of political weakness, not strength.
This decision less reflects the weakness of Israeli democracy, but rather the political weakness of Netanyahu as he nears the end of his tenure.
Threadjack: (and to cover the stink bomb emetic dropped)(I didn’t read it; don’t bother with him anymore) Minneapolis to ban drive through windows. Just another “choice” lefties don’t want you to make on your own.
As the title of this post indicates, ANY nation that wants to maintain its sovereignty, needs to control their borders and who comes into that country. To suggest that Israel was doing any less, is stupid. Of course, to open border lovers like Emery, that policy is barbaric. I mean, think of the children.
I mean, think of the children.
The child trafficking industry is giving the open-borders crowd a standing ovation.
Liberals believe that prohibiting people from advocating the overthrow of the government is a sign of weakness. That’s why Justice Jackson was writing for the minority when he wrote: “The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” The Liberals in the majority endorsed the speaker’s anti-Semitic, pro-fascist remarks and the riot he provoked.
Israel can’t afford to indulge in Liberal suicidal fantasies.
It’s worth noting that the State Department denies visas to those who advocate the overthrow of our government, just like the Israelis are doing now. You would think that after 45 years in our government, Biden would know this, but apparently not.
