and without giving any reason this what most of Israel supporters said when Israel demied the entry of Norman Finkelstein.

1-Palestine is a land for Palestinians , so you get out and leave the country that your Grandparents have stolen. Israel doesn't have the right to exist . 2-If you continue treating Arabs in such racism don't expect them to be nice to you, they have the right to respond in anyway possible to your crimes. 3-Check this out, you civilized people : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH0o_07BBk0&feature=related

Perhaps looking to Obama, like you american boy!

Blatant racism by UAE prevented her from competing as an athlete and for monetary reward. It's great the other athletes rallied to support her and her sportsmanship outshined the slimy UAE but she must be compensated.

Who appointed you emperor? So you don't like Israel. Big deal.

The tournament should have been cancelled by the WTA when Peer was denied a visa to the UAE.

this is an act of intolerance and discrimination. EAU should be ashamed.

... countries that behave like this. Countries (including Arab countries) that don't discriminate in this manner should be chosen instead. Nobody forbids Sudanese, or North Koreans, or Chinese, or Libyans, or Iranians, or Saudis, or Russians, or Syrians, or others to compete, despite incredibly nasty human rights abuses in those countries. Israelis, in contrast, are discriminated against as part of a continuing effort by the Muslim Brotherhood and others to destroy Israel and slaughter its people.

You're referring to Hamastanis in Gaza, who can't leave for very good security reasons.

Arab MKs, Arab generals, Arab doctors, Arab mayors, etc. Arabs in Israel vote, and an Arab vote is as valid as a Jewish vote. In Apartheid South Africa, blacks could not even use the same toilets as whites. You're either completely ignorant or willfully lying. Either way, shame on you.

I THINK ISRAEL WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO LET THE PAL'S ATHLETES TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY TO TRAIN. IN MY OWN OPINION, IF MORE OF THE PAL'N. ARABS LEFT THE COUNTRY TO TRAIN, OR FOR WHATEVER REASON, MANY IN ISRAEL WOULD BE VERY SUPPORTIVE AND EVEN HELP THEM TO PACK.

End the occupation of the USA by Islamists now!

EX-PRESIDENT CARTER WAS ANTI-SEMITE ALL THE TIME AND STILL IS AS WE SEE. CARTER DID FOOL A LOT OF PEOPLE PRETENDING TO BE NEUTRAL PEACE MAKER. I BELIEVE HE HAS THE DISEASE OF OPEN ANTI-SEMITISM NOW. HE SEEMS TO BE IN DEMENTIA -- I DON'T MEAN AS A JOKE---HE IS A SICK MAN, BUT THAT IS HIS EXCUSE TO OPENLY SPEAK HIS RASCIST ANTI-SEMITISM.

Sport would certainly be a more worthwhile passtime for Palestinians than spending their hours throwing firing rockets at Israeli civilians!

Hard to believe a doctor would be that deficient in the ability to engage in critical thinking that you would merely parrot the spewings of a failed president. Jimmy Carter was discredited a long time ago and now we can see that he's never met a despot he didn't like...whether it's Castro and Chavez or Arafat and Assad. He's a man with an agenda which is driven, in large part, by some very generous donations to his Carter Center from countries like Saudi Arabia, along with a bruised ego because the majority of Jews supported Ted Kennedy during the Democratic primaries. It's time for this senile old cracker to retire to Plains and stop whining. And, yes, if he can refer to Israel as an apartheid states, then I can call him a senile old cracker.

Come on ladies, less talk more action... if ALL the seeds were to pull out it would hurt the tournament badly. All this talk - "if they don't let her in we'll cancel next year" is useless. It's happening now, and the time to take action is now. Next year it will have been forgotten and a "diplomatic solution" will have been found. Hit them now, where it hurts.

Not going so far despite his ideology. Stop this tournament NOW. The fanatism and propaganda of the Muslims and Islamics countries have no limits........ OIL....OIL....OIL....and blackmail.

in order to express your disgust at their spineless, non-ethical behavior. Here is a classic instance in which arab oil money and power trump conscience and self-respect. The WTA tel# in Tampa, Florida is: 727-895-5000

Palis are very good in sports. They could be world champions in "stone throwing" speciality, which is gonna become official sport in the next Olympic games. Hope Israel is kind enough to let them compete. (they are doing very well in Gaza already)
