U.A.E. Denies Israeli Entry For Intl. Conference

The United Arab Emirates denied entrance to Israeli representative Sarah Younger for the International Chamber of Commerce's Banking Commission hosted in Dubai.

Ms. Younger obviously did not fly from Israel [point of departure unknown], and upon her landing in Dubai for the conference she was turned back with her Israeli passport.

Ms. Younger is the international trade section manager of Israel's Bank Leumi. The conference was convened for the purpose of dealing with the international economic crisis.

The conference convened on Saturday. Ms. Younger sought out the Israeli Foreign Minister to apply pressure on the U.A.E. to allow her entry.

The U.A.E. and Israel do not maintain diplomatic relations, however although the U.A.E. is a signature to the Arab League boycott of Israel Dubai and Abu Dhabi have build had minimal economic transactions with Israeli firms. The former allowed a Israeli diamond dealer who supports and personal constructs illegal West Bank settlements to open a shop in the city and for an Israeli clothing brand to open a store through a French intermediary, while the latter's regional government actually has a deal with an Israeli defense firm for upgrading missiles [or missile defense].

But the U.A.E. refused Younger. Who does she think she is? That she can just stroll into Dubai with her Israeli passport and then complain to the Zionist state's Foreign Minister as if the U.A.E. is under occupation? She has no right and should not enter the U.A.E. What is it with Israelis and their entitlement? It because they are sick with oppression in their dealings with Palestinians that they think they can just boss all people around. Fat chance.

If she wants to entry Dubai, she should complain to her government that they should make peace and embrace a two-state solution with the Palestinians. Then the Arab world would allow Israelis to enter.
