Israeli player Shahar Peer is refused a visa to take part in the Dubai Tennis Championships where she was due to play on Monday.

What are your thoughts on this?

Most Arab countries don't recognise the state of Israel,therefore her passport wouldn't allow her through customs.
Thats why Israel competes in Europe when it comes football etc and the Eurovision Song Contest.
Lets face it if Israel competed in the Middle East Song contest they'd get as many points as we do in Eurovision!

I think its wrong but since when has politics made any sense?

as they dont recognize israel they are well within their rights and correct to do so! south africa where ostracized by the outside world and rightly so, israel the terrorist state should be shunned and boycotted at all cost by all western countries for their role in the middle east namely land grabbing,starving and genocide of innocent palestinian population.
