Why is it that the UAE continues its stupid ancient travel ban to Israel, while Mohammed Abbar, of Emaar, can jump over to the Gaza strip via tel aviv, have coffee with Sharon, and shoot the Shit with Simon Peres ?
Have a read of what Arab news has to say on the whole Abbar issue.
I cant see the big deal over his visit. I can see that it is hypocritical that the UAE would allow Mohammed Berber to visit Israel, while I, a regular law abiding citizen, am not allowed to go there at all.
And what about the Israelis ? They let Abbar in. Theres no reason why they wouldnt let in a normal citizen, after the nessecary security checks. This is while we wont let in a tourist with an Israeli stamp on his passsport, let alone an Israeli citizen !
Its just like those backward neandrathals in Washington who dont allow Americans to goto Cuba. So much for the land of the free, eh ?.
Who the hell is anyone telling a person where he can or cant go ?
