The United Arab Emirates, often praised as enlightened and modern, has opted to ban a qualified Israeli athlete from the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships.
And what is the reaction of the Women's Tennis Association?

Shahar Pe'er Denied Visa
The United Arab Emirates, often praised as enlightened and modern, has opted to ban a qualified Israeli athlete from the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships.
And what is the reaction of the Women's Tennis Association?
We are deeply disappointed by the decision of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) denying Shahar Peer a Visa that would permit her to enter the country to play in the Dubai Tennis Championships. Ms. Peer has earned the right to play in the tournament and it is regrettable that the UAE is denying her this right.The tournament will continue as if nothing as happened.
Following various consultations, the Tour has decided to allow the tournament to continue to be played this week, pending further review by the Tour's Board of Directors. Ms. Peer and her family are obviously extremely upset and are disappointed by the decision of the UAE and its impact on her personally and professionally, and the Tour is reviewing appropriate remedies for Ms. Peer and also will review appropriate future actions with regard to the future of the Dubai tournament. The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour believes very strongly, and has a clear rule and policy, that no host country should deny a player the right to compete at a tournament for which she has qualified by ranking.

No one in Hollywood howling in the streets?Additional information in this article from the Telegraph.
NO ACLU.
No values.
No principles.
No JINO’s (Jews in name ONLY, as I call them) screaming about hate speech and discrimination.
No nothing.

The Women’s Tennis Association didn’t only cave in to anti-semitism, but are now officially a party to anti-semitism by agreeing to hold the tournament.
