Let’s Examine Human Rights. And Entitlement.
The first is a human privilege, and the second is non-existent. Let me tell you why.
Yesterday, the British Home Office revoked the visa of Palestinian student, Dana Abuqamar, to study in the UK. It appears that Ms Abuqamar does not understand the difference between privilege and entitlement. Ms Abuquamar thought it perfectly okay to celebrate the mass slaughter of Israelis on October, 7th, 2023 in a country that gave her permission to study there. She appears not to have understood that it did not give her permission to openly support terrorist acts. It didn’t occur to her that it was a was not a human right to support or celebrate terrorist acts.
She stated ‘The UK Home Office decided to revoke my student visa following public statements supporting the Palestinian right to exercise under international law to resist oppression and break through the siege that was illegally placed on Gaza for over 16 years. It’s an outrageous claim that the Home Office is making by deeming me a national security threat. I am a 19-year-old who has done nothing but go to school and advocate for social justice and try and be an asset to my community. So saying I pose a threat to national security is a completely baseless claim.”
