Reply #29: My point is that as long as we have countries with borders..

then countries do have the right to exclude people from visiting. It may be a narrow-minded or unjust decision, but I would not call it a breach of civil liberties. It isn't part of my civil liberties (or Finkelstein's or Chomsky's or Dershowitiz' or Bush's) to be allowed to visit Israel.

I don't particularly support Israel's banning Finkelstein from entry. I just think it's their right to do so, just like it's my country's right to ban Feiglin.

I do agree with the following:

'as a modern orthodox Jew, I would be happy to put all the fundamentalists on a boat and send them out to an uninhabited island where they duke it out (More likely, they will find out how much they have in common.)'

As a modern secular Jew in my case, but the rest sums up my feelings!
