  • Tlaib, Omar Barred From Israel...

    Good...

    JERUSALEM (AP) — The Latest on Israel’s decision to bar two U.S. Democratic congresswomen from visiting (all times local):

    6:10 p.m.

    Israel’s deputy foreign minister says the government has decided to bar two U.S. Democratic congresswomen who support the international boycott movement from entering the country.

    Tzipi Hotovely told Israel Radio in an interview Thursday that “Israel has decided not to allow” Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota to visit as planned.

    She says it is in keeping with a policy of denying entry to those who advocate boycotts of Israel.

    Her remarks came shortly after President Donald Trump tweeted that “it would show great weakness” if Israel allowed them in.

    The two newly-elected Muslim members of Congress are outspoken critics of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. Tlaib’s family immigrated to the United States from the West Bank.

        This is wrong.!





        They should allow them in, and put them up somewhere along the area where they are constantly being attacked. ...and give them umbrellas for protection.

            Is everyone still enjoying the trade war? More Trump nonsense:
            An American president urging another nation to deny entry to US citizens, let alone members of Congress, is unusual in the extreme. Viewed in the context of Mr Trump's ongoing feud with these congresswomen, however, it makes perfect sense. The lines between foreign and domestic policy, between the public actions and personal grievances, have always been blurry with this president.

                Israel is now allowing Tlaib in because she wrote a letter saying she wants to visit her 90 year old grandmother who lives in the West Bank, and promises not to do anything to encourage any boycotts against Israel while she is there.

                      Doesn't one of them have several husbands?

                        Or brothers. Hard to determine which is which.

                            What an idiot...

                            Rashida Tlaib signals she won't go to West Bank, despite getting Israeli minister's permission

                            Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in--fighting against racism, oppression & injustice. https://twitter.com/RashidaTlaib/sta...41203406401536

                            What oppressive conditions, to keep her mouth shut?

                              She wants this to be all about her -- she wants to play this as a martyr --- those MEAN JEWS, See? I TOLD you they deserve to be wiped from the face of the earth!
