A "Muslim ban" against "two"(!!) very specific(!!) people is self-evidently…not…that. Not is it a "female ban" or "ban" on people whose last names end with a consonant. Not did Obama didn't implement a "Hindu ban" when he banned Modi.

One other thing, @Ilhan. If denying entry to two Muslims is a "Muslim ban," what's it called when you advocate for the boycott of 7 million Jews?

Autocorrect hates Jews.

One silver lining to this latest burst of shouting about Israel is that we get a way to identify those with zero shreds of credibility. Who? No, not those who oppose the policy on principle. Not those who support it on principle. But those pretending it's somehow a "Muslim ban."

Good point. The country has also prevented Jewish anti-Israel agitators (see: Ariel Gold) from entering. So… "Jewish ban."
