Protect someone the way the UK protects genocide: “Cenk Uygur, Hasan Piker Banned From UK After Israel Criticisms: ‘This Is Absolutely Kafkaesque’
The Young Turks co-creator says he found out while trying to board a flight to London for a speech at Oxford”
https://www.thewrap.com/media-platforms/politics/cenk-uygur-hasan-piker-banned-from-uk-over-israel-criticisms-this-is-absolutely-kafkaesque/
Cenk Uygur, co-founder of the Young Turks and a resolute critic of Israel, and his nephew Hasan Piker, the left-wing political commentator and influencer, both said Sunday that they had been banned from traveling to the U.K., stating that British authorities cited their public criticisms of Israel.
…
“I’ve been banned from the UK,” he wrote. “I tried to get on a flight to London to attend SXSW London and give a speech at Oxford. I’ve been banned for criticizing Israel. Are we free anymore? This is oppression of Western citizens by our own governments on behalf of a different country!”
…
“The British government is saying they’re banning me because I am ‘a serious risk to the public order’ due to my criticism of Israel. They say that my charge that Israel controls the American government through donations to 94% of Congress, while factual, is antisemitic nonetheless. Don’t know if facts will soon be banned in Britain.”
