“After several hours of waiting and multiple interrogations our two friends were permitted entry and my daughter and I were informed that we were denied entry after much discussion indirectly with the interior ministry.”
Chomsky said the border officials were “very polite” as they “transmitted inquiries from the [Israeli] ministry of the interior”.

Noam Chomsky denied entry into Israel and West Bank

The Association for Civil Rights in Israel slammed the Interior Ministry for “using detention and deportation to prevent a man from expressing his opinion”, calling it “characteristic of a totalitarian regime.”
“A democratic country where freedom of expression is a guiding principle does not close in the face of criticism or ideas that are not comfortable and does not deny entry to guests only because it does not accept their opinions. Instead, it deals with these opinions through public discussion,” said ACRI in a statement.
Kadima MK Otniel Schneller, on the other hand, praised the move.
“It’s good that Israel did not allow one of its accusers to enter its territory,” said Schneller. “I recommend [Chomsky] try one of the tunnels connecting Gaza and Egypt.”

See that’s the difference between this hardest-working political prodigy alive and yours truly the angry plebe; I would have been so furious the Mossad would have had me darted and detained (or shot on the spot…).
Israel is a desertified apparent police state full of bigoted bully-believers, this is the reason so many of us descendants of jews would never live there! (but why do the Hasids get the cutest jewish girls?).
There was once a sympathetic reason for modern israel, but that was a very long time and many warcrimes ago (sorry Eli, I know you think Jerusalem is your heart, but it’s not mine! It didn’t work out too well for the indigenous, and we’re all sick of your endless war that you’ll never win, run away!)
