Reader comment on item: Hafiz al-Asad and Me

My memory must be failing, I just don't remember any protests or anger when Dr. Pipes was not allowed entry into Syria.

If only you could get yourself banned from entering Israel, Dr. Pipes, then you'd have the media and world leaders angry and completely on your side.

Noam Chomsky may be able to advise you on this.

Daniel Pipes replies:

Interesting thought - how un-newsworthy it seems when a dictatorship bans one.

You are right about Israel. I will look into getting myself banned from there, pronto!
