I WONDER just how many of the millions here, in America and around the world who have taken to the streets and signed online petitions in protest over Donald Trump’s Executive Order banning passport holders from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the United States (a move that I too, wholeheartedly condemn) have voiced any protest over the fact that Israeli passport holders have been banned from all seven of those same countries for many decades?
Very few, I imagine – which only goes to show what hypocrites they are.
They are entitled to vent their spleen over what they see as an injustice – but only if they direct their anger at ALL those regimes that discriminate on the grounds of nationality or religion.
