Rejected petition Ban Israeli officials who incite racism and violence against Palestinians
It is incumbent upon the government of United Kingdom to ensure we are not seen to be complicit, or endorse in any way, any Israeli official or ordinary citizens who is on record inciting hatred, racism & violence towards Palestinians. Such individuals should be refused entry to the United Kingdom.
More details
Numerous examples of Israeli incitement against Palestinians have been documented over the last decade alone. Our government rarely addresses this particular issue nor do we apply pressure in order to tackle it head on. We must ban individuals who are considered to have invited hatred, racism and violence against Palestinians from entering the UK to send a clear message that such is abhorrent, unacceptable and a factor that prevents peaceful dialogue and reconciliation.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
The UK Government can already ban people whose presence in this country might not be conducive to the public good, so we're not sure what else you'd like to happen.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
