Nobel Prize winner and former Costa Rican President #Oscar #Arias said on Tuesday that
👉the U.S. has revoked his visa to enter the country,
weeks after he criticized U.S. President Donald Trump on social media
saying he was behaving like "a Roman emperor."

Arias, 84, was president between 1986 and 1990 and again between 2006 and 2010.

A self-declared pacifist, he won the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in brokering peace during the Central American conflicts of the 1980s.

“Within weeks of the film’s #Oscar triumph, one of the filmmakers was brutally beaten by #Israelisettlers in the occupied #WestBank &…#detained by #Israeli security forces... Even now that it is an Academy Award-winner & with the headlines about the beating & arrest of co-director #HamdanBallal#NoOtherLand…depict[ing] the Israeli military’s destruction of parts of the occupied West Bank, still can’t be seen in most of the US.” | Ali M.

Locals were arrested, vehicles were damaged and the gates to animal pens were breached, allowing sheep to escape.

The attack follows another major one on Friday, during which settlers beat Palestinians with iron bars, resulting in at least two major head injuries.

#Israeli forces arrested 22 #Palestinians - but no settlers.
