Only 13 pages? I take it they're not including the customs and quarantine declarations. :D

Googling, I find no evidence that Australia, or any other Western country, is banning all Israeli tourists.

But I do find news stories about Australia denying visas to suspected war criminals, such as this story: Asked about war crimes: IDF soldiers denied Australia visa.

Because hatred of Jews is so insidious, that even people in authority practice it without even knowing that they do.

Is refusing admission to war criminals a form of antisemitism now? :scratch:

Did you bother to read the news story I linked here, or any other relevant news story? Or did you just react to the thread title, not realizing it's an oversimplification?
