Enemies don’t get treated like friends: Two British lawmakers reportedly denied entry to West Bank for ‘public order’ issues

[IsraelTimes] Labour MPs Peter Prinsley and Simon Opher said they were barred at Jordan border crossing; UK Foreign Office: Efforts to secure entry turned down, ‘No way’ to treat MPs; Opher says they didn’t aim to ‘undermine the Israelis’

Prinsley and Opher were participating in a three-day parliamentary delegation to see medical and humanitarian work in the West Bank, organized by the Council for Arab-British Understanding.

In addition to touring medical facilities in the West Bank, they were scheduled to meet British diplomats in Jerusalem and Israeli and Paleostinian human rights

"Denying entry to British MPs shows how far Israel will go to cover up what is happening in the West Bank," the organizing group said in a statement.

In February, an EU Parliament delegation scrapped its trip to Jerusalem and Ramallah after two politicians were barred from the country upon arriving at the airport.

Rima Hassan, one of the barred politicians, had previously called Israel a "terrorist" state and accused its military of having "coldly executed Paleostinian children," while advocating for it to "leave Paleostine."

He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years...

The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both.
