Where Are The Protests From The Left About This.

I don't see people protesting in the streets about sadiq Khans little party for anti Israeli countries.

Nothing new, Labour is riddled with anti Semitism

[Orderlimit]

Agree with TTT, but let us see if discrimination only applies in certain circumstances.

I remember when Guido Fawkes' bog was quite good, but this one is woeful.
It states that Khan is hosting a reception for 11 counties that do not recognise Israel. That sounds terrible.
The truth is that the reception is open to all ambassodors based in London including the Israeli ambassodor, and that over 100 countries are represented.

So the anti-semitism card has again been deployed wrongly. Last month Khan hosted a reception with Jewish dignitaries.

// Mayor of London Sadiq Khan jointly hosted a Chanukah reception at City Hall with London Jewish Forum on Tuesday night, with dignitaries and diplomats mingling with religious leaders and community representatives. //

So the report is dishonest and the reception is something everyone should support.

Boris Johnson held similar ambassadors receptions when he was mayor, and the same countries attended those.

They are out in force to protest about Trump putting a temporary ban on travel from some muslim countries. But did you know that if you are British with a British passport and have visited Israel, even on holiday, (and I can only assume that this applies to American passport holders) certain countries will refuse you entry and others will make it very difficult indeed for you to gain entry. Now there has never been a protest or point of order raised by these creepy virtue signallers and hand wringers regarding this selective ban. Some of them are the countries that Trump is turning a gimlet eye towards.

But people weren't protesting and getting their knickers in a twist about temporary travel restrictions on certain countries, these are permanent restrictions and Khan is going to kick off about restrictions for certain Muslim countries then he should have the same reservations about Israeli travel restrictions but I hear nothing.

That was for Gromit.

[Gromit]

// More than 100 countries will be represented, expected to include five of the seven covered by the ban – Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Yemen and Libya – but not Somalia or Syria.

More than two thirds of London’s diplomatic community will be represented at the event, at which Mr Khan will tell them they continue to play a valuable role in the capital following the Brexit vote.  //

Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq (except the northern Kurdish region), Sudan, Yemen.
These are the countries that ban entry if you have a passport with an Israeli stamp on it.

Saudi Arabia (reportedly not strictly enforced due to pressure by the U.S.), Malaysia, Pakistan, Algeria, Indonesia, U.A.E.
These are the countries that make it very difficult or prevent entry. Notice anything?

[Gromit]

Togo,
It seems to be a myth. Most travellers forums seem to indicate that they have no problem accessing muslim countries with an Israeli stamp in their passport.
The comments below this piece seem typical

This says different.

I can't believe that Gromit didn't ask for a link. He usually does. (^_*)

[Gromit]

Togo,
I posted that link an hour ago.

[Peter Pedant]

well get down there and protest Dave

other non demos today are
1) in favour of those poor little chimpanzees in the Cote d'Ivoire
2) demo supporting Trump
3) a demo saying parliament should NOT have a say in Brexit

I'm mean there is a lot out there not to demonstrate about

[Togo]

However, there does seem to be some consensus as to which countries do restrict access. They are as follows:
The list of countries I gave.

//Most visitors recommend getting by this restriction by simply asking the Israeli immigration official upon arrival not to stamp your passport, but instead to stamp a piece of paper that you can present upon your departure.//

From that link... Now why would that be? Remember sauce for the Goose is sauce for the Gander.

[Buenchico]

There seems to be a false premise in the question. Sadiq Khan isn't holding a 'little party for anti Israeli countries'. More than 100 countries are represented at City Hall tonight:

Trump's travel ban is wrongly targeted against (almost entirely innocent) individuals. The travel bans rightly imposed by many nations against Israelis (and which the UK should also implement immediately) is an action against a government which oppresses a neighbouring free nation (Palestine).

[youngmafbog]

The left protest against anti Israeli bans. You must be joking.

Big bunch of hypocrites.

//The lesson America needs to know is that the West is not doing Muslims a favor by constantly treating them as children who should be shielded from reality. They hungry for the truth: that their educational system and mosque preaching are full of incitement, are abhorrent, hate-filled and the foundation upon which violent jihad is built.
Muslims need to know that the world does indeed have a justifiable and legitimate concern about Islam and actions done in the name of Islam by Muslims.
Muslims need to look at themselves in the mirror and see the world from the point of view of their victims. Instead, the West is sacrificing its culture, values, laws, pride and even self-respect.//

//What would Muslim countries do to the West, I asked, if 19 American terrorists flew airplanes into Arab capitals and their government and military headquarters? What did she think Arabs would do if every week or so American terrorists would conduct synchronized killing sprees all over the Muslim world, gunning Muslims down, blowing them up with homemade pressure cookers, ramming into crowds with trucks?//
