15-year-old Palestinian girl denied visa for US speaking tour Fig Tree blog 18 Dec by Richard Edmondson — Ahed Tamimi was slated to be part of the No Child Behind Bars/Living Resistance speaking tour that is to tour the US beginning on January 15, 2017, but according to an email sent out yesterday by the Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA), she has been denied a visa to enter the country. I guess the thinking at the State Department is that anyone who bunches their fist and shakes it in the face of an Israeli soldier must be a terrorist. Of course it isn’t difficult in the least to figure out why the Israeli government would prefer not to have someone like Ahed–described by FOSNA as “charismatic and articulate”–going from city to city in America discussing the brutal injustices she and others her age are subjected to on continuing daily basis. It would take a fair bit of mainstream media bellowing about “Hamas rockets” to offset the public relations disaster. But the tour, it seems, will proceed anyway, and even though Ahed will not be here physically, plans nonetheless are being made to link her to US audiences via live-stream video … The email from FOSNA:…. https://richardedmondson.net/2016/12/18/15-year-old-palestinian-girl-denied-visa-for-us-speaking-tour/
Well I'm not sure why the Obama Administration denied her a visa but I'm pretty sure they don't just hand them out based on political theater requests. Either way the President-Elect is setting the ground rules for future negotiations on the peace process
A speaking tour is Political theatre? BullShit. Canada is no better. The theatre comes from asshole politicans like Jason Kenney sucking Israeli ass by pushing bans on bds at Canadian universities, and pushing (sometimes successfully) for activists/politicians/professors like George Galloway and Norman finkelstein to be denied entry to the country.

What you call "sucking Israeli ass" others call "standing up for a democratic ally". If you advocate for boycotts don't be suprised when someone turns around and boycotts the speakers you wish to hear from. You cannot have it both ways.

Big difference between a voluntary boycott by private citizens, and government members advocating to quell free speech at a public institution, without a mandate from their constituents, in order to score political points with an extremist lobby group.

Except "free speech" is considered "hate speech" by the Israeli apologists, thus their attempts to ban it. As far as the visa not being issued? I'd be willing to bet the Israel lobby and their lackeys in congress had something to do with it. Bibi and Trump making the world great again, again, again!!!

Since 2014, Israel has demolished 18 times as many structures as it permitted the Palestinians to build in Area C of the West Bank, where Israel has both civilian and military control, Civil Administration data show.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told New Zealand's foreign minister that his country's sponsoring of the UN anti-settlement resolution was a "declaration of war".
Mr Netanyahu has also lashed out at President Barack Obama after Friday's Security Council vote, on which the United States' abstention marked a break with tradition, and called the action a "shameful ambush".
The Security Council voted to condemn settlement building in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a "flagrant violation of international law" and demanded Israel “immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory”, pointing out that the international community views any Israeli construction over the agreed 1967 Green Line as illegal.
I wonder if Israel will reject all funding from United Nations nations? Netnyahoo can take a real stand and start by publicly disavowing US and their funding.
The UN resolution is only important symbolically, and is too little too late for Obama. I think the fact that this abstention comes at the end of his term is pretty telling in regards to the influence of the Israel lobby....as if we needed more evidence of that. Settlement starts were higher last year than any of the previous ten, and this resolution lacks the teeth to do anything about it....but it has got people talking. MSNBC (!) did a piece on the settlements that was actually somewhat impartial and informative (tho the host did mention that he he learned more from the segment than he had in years watching cable news...sad). Kerry actually used the word Nakba in today's speech. But given Trump's choice as ambassador to Israel, we will probably be hearing more about annexation than condemnation over the next four years. Watching Bibi throw tantrums has been pretty entertaining tho. Withdrawing diplomats, calling it a declaration of war etc etc....the settlements are completely indefensible to the international community. I think even Bibi knows this. Throwing fits over a toothless condemnation of them only serves to further isolate israel....and for what? Just to keep the bloodthirsty extremist pscycho's of the Jewish Home happy and in his coalition?...talk about political theatre.
