Paul Russell: A not-so-warm welcome for John Greyson and Tarek Loubani | National Post
It's time those that dare 'sow the wind the reap the whirlwind'.
Time and again common sense is ignored and those like these two find themselves in dangerous position by their own misadventure. Fools would venture to a place of riot then complain and expect sympathy and rescue. If Hamas had a say the gay Greyson would be killed, yet they seemed determined to confront the devil.

“I’m wondering if Canadian taxpayers will pay their expenses and their flight home,” mused Michael Devolin. “If these two want adventure in the Muslim Middle East, let them pay their own way. Don’t send the bill to regular Canadians.”
Many readers wondered why Mr. Greyson, an openly gay man, would travel to Egypt, en route to the Gaza Strip — since gays face serious persecution in both areas.
“What’s he doing going to Gaza where gays are publicly executed by Hamas?” asked Felix Golubev. “Does he know that Israel is the only country in the Middle East that respects gay rights? Of course he knows, but when it comes to hating Israel, all barriers go down, and he is no exception.”
Many readers noted Mr. Greyson’s anti-Israeli activities here in Canada, as a leader of Queers Against Israeli Apartheid or as a filmmaker (in 2009, he withdrew his film from the Toronto International Film Festival because Israeli films were also going to be screened there).
