This is so depressing but as I mentioned yesterday how Israel fits into the new axis Trump is trying to set up with Russia, UAE and Saudi Arabia. Why would Israel go along, I thought, since they're a democracy? Answer: because they're becoming authoritarian, too.

Is your "high profile" supposed to exempt you? Ben Gurion is the safest airport in the world. You are an Iranian American, who publicly identifies with the national movement of Israel's enemies, the movement that produces more terrorists every day. This check makes total sense.

Oh please. This is an exaggeration both in terms of “detention and interrogation” and your self proclaimed “high profile” status.

Invited 2 or 3 times as part of "cultural exchange" programs, where they supposedly "educate" on issues, while parading you out in front of crowds & press to promote their agenda. Hard pass. I'll skip seeing the Mideast in this life before being used for either side's zealotry.

Becoming? Israel became what so many Jews have loathed for generations when they started treating Palestinians like vermin.

Well said and way overdue.

Wake up! It has turned into a state run by a fascist mob. It is the only way for those criminals to evade prosecution.

Israel isn't "becoming" it is and has been for some time.

Interesting that the author doesn’t even suggest evangelicals reflect on their unwavering support of Israel, just liberals.
