So anyone who knows me knows that I love to watch tennis (on certain I could swearI play better than Serena....). Anyway, the WTA World Championships are upon us and they are held in Dubai. Well low and behold, 48th ranked tennis player Shahar Peer has been DENIED a visa to the United Arab Emirates. Why you ask? Because homegirl is from ISREAL!!!!
Now I dont know who the hell this chick is, never heard of her AT ALL, and lets be serious, she is ranked number 48, she wasnt gonna win the championship (esp if Serena had anything to do with it). But all that aside, shouldnt she at least get the chance to try (and lose)? It isnt fair that simply because she is Isreali that she should be denied a visa, resultin in her not bein able to compete for the 2 MILLION DOLLAR prize money. This is some bullshit!
This is a testimony to the fact that injustices happen everywhere in the world, and religion, gender, and race STILL play a part in what people do!
Say it with me now, FOOL-ISH-NESS!
saw this on CNN and was very disgusted. Ill cross Dubai off my list of places to see!

what it really proves is that these peoples' hatred for each other dates back to before christ. it's intense and deep rooted, and "talks" (fondly known as diplomacy) really isn't going to work. just let them figure it out themselves, if they so choose.
