 [IsraelTimes] Advocacy group says Trump administration ’arbitrarily’ silencing Paleostinians over political activities; Strategic Affairs Ministry denies Israel involved in travel ban.
The US government this week denied entry to Omar Barghouti,
| ...one of a long list of members of the Barghouti clan who have prosecuted the war against Israel for over a generation, both politically and as terrorists for both Fatah and Hamas. This one organizes academic boycotts of Israel as well as BDS... |
the leader of the Paleostinian-led boycott movement against Israel,
| ...formally the Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC). Given its membership includes representatives from the major Paleostinian political factions including Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Paleostine, groups that are listed as terrorist organizations by the US, why are they surprised? |
according to a Washington-based advocacy group who claimed the travel ban was retribution for his political activities. |
