Ben Ari: Why Does US Grant Visas to Hamas?

MK Michael Ben Ari is still being refused a visa to enter the United States – but the lawmaker says Hamas terrorists are allowed to visit.

In an interview with Arutz Sheva's Hebrew news service, Ben Ari said Wednesday that he is “still waiting” for a visa to visit the U.S.” Ben Ari noted that even after thousands of people were killed in the September 11, 2001 multi-site Al Qaeda terrorist attack on America, “The United States allows terrorists to enter its territory.” The lawmaker contended that “It shows something about the country, that what may happen to the next set of Twin Towers is not so important to them.”

The MK said he also asked U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro about the problem with the visa, but that Shapiro replied such things were “not his responsibility.”

Ben Ari, if seen in public would constitute a "lion in the street," due to his last name, evoking fears of assassination a la Julius Caesar and Huey Long (bad novel based on his life by that title). These are serious considerations at the State Department, whereas Hamas terrorists are just interested in photographing important landmarks from multiple angles, so as to have something to send home to impress the wife and kids. That's at least what they said to officials at State, who took their word for it in the hopes of bringing them to the negotiations with Israel.

Ben Ari: Why Does US Grant Visas to Hamas?

Because the current administration hates America and Americans. The more Hamas they can get into the country, the sooner the suicide bombers can begin killing us!!

It's all very simple, you see.

That’s racism!(must say sarc, or someone will think I’m serious)

[bayouranger]

I’m surprised that the slugs in state don’t give them citizenship.

[onedoug]

Because an islamist is President of the United States.

I don't think he's been denied, it's still pending. Liberal political positions would speed it up. Our Ambassador's answer, that it's not his responsibility, is amazing but typical of an Obama employee mindset. Everything going on in the Embassy is his responsibility. Hillary's too.

Thanks Eleutheria5.
