A very incomplete list of people banned from entering UK, US, Canada, France, Australia...

This Twitter thread by Shlomi Ben Meir last week, slightly edited, remains relevant as the Lara Alqasem case drags on.


Britain, the mother of parliamentary democracy, has published in 2009 a list of 16 people who are barred from the country "for stirring-up hatred". 22 additional barred folks' names weren't published. And 101 more had been banned in the previous five years.

In the period from August 2005 to 31 March 2009, a total of 101 individuals have been excluded from the UK for having engaged in unacceptable behaviour. Of these 101 individuals, a total of 22 were excluded by the Home Secretary in the period from 28 October 2008 to 31 March 2009.This figure comprises 72 individuals excluded for fomenting, justifying or glorifying terrorist violence in furtherance of particular beliefs; two individuals excluded for seeking to provoke others to terrorist acts; 18 individuals excluded for fomenting other serious criminal activity or seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts; and nine individuals excluded for fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK.The individuals concerned include animal rights extremists, right to life extremists, homophobe extremists, far-right extremists, as well as advocates of hatred and violence in support of their religious beliefs.
More people whose entry to the UK was denied: Israeli politician Moshe Feiglin,Dutch MP Geert Wilders,  Louis Farrakhan edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/eur… and the antisemite French comedian Dieudonné.
This was a very partial list of democratic countries, and for each one, a very partial list of cases. It happens literally all the time everywhere. For any other country, it is barely an issue,

Only for Israel, both her haters and lovers expect her to let everyone in.
Only when Israel does this is it front page news for over a week.
