Two popular left-wing political commentators have now been barred from entering the UK for what they say are their criticisms of Israel.

We're talking about the host of the YouTube series The Young Turks and Hasan progressive influencers with millions of viewers between them.

They were supposed to head over to the UK for some speaking gigs this week, but then their travel authorizations were revoked.

Now, the British government says it's because their presence in the UK may not be conducive to the public good.

No explicit mention of Israel there.

>> The UK government is not being explicit about what exactly these men did or said.

that led to this ban, but if we look at the backdrop surrounding all of this,

it's not difficult to decode.

This comes at a time where advocates for Israel and Jewish groups in the UK, such as the Jewish Leadership Council, were calling for them to be banned while free speech

activists have been condemning this idea.

Both of them emphatically deny the claims that they're anti-Semitic.

They say their criticisms are about the government of Israel, not Jewish people, and they say what's dangerous and wrong

is to conflate the two things.
