Israel Blocks Ilhan Omar And Rashida Tlaib From Entering Over Support for BDS Movement

Israeli officials have decided to ban raging Anti-Semites Ilham Omar and Rashida Tlaib from entering their country.

According to Fox News:

The country’s deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely announced the decision Thursday, despite prior assurances that the congresswomen would be allowed in.

“Israel has decided — we won’t enable the members of Congress to enter the country,” Hotovely told public broadcaster Kan. “We won’t allow those who deny our right to exist in this world to enter Israel. In principle, this is a very justified decision.”

I agree. I believe that ANY country should have FULL SAY on who is allowed to enter.

President Trump had previously urged our ally not to allow them in:

“It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep.Tlaib to visit,” Trump tweeted Thursday morning. “They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds. Minnesota and Michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!”

I have no doubt that the women hoped to do exactly what the “squad” did when they supposedly toured the detention centers.

They already KNOW what their narrative is. Their plan was to visit and then sound the alarm at the “horrific” conditions they witnessed. You know – drinking from toilets, and the like.

Prominent Demos, of course, threw a fit:

Banning Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib from entering Israel and Palestine is a sign of enormous disrespect to these elected leaders, to the United States Congress, and to the principles of democracy. The Israeli government should reverse this decision and allow them in. https://t.co/mvdcmnFBKU

“Banning Congresswomen Omar and Tlaib from entering Israel and Palestine is a sign of enormous disrespect to these elected leaders, to the United States Congress, and to the principles of democracy,” presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said in a tweet. “The Israeli government should reverse this decision and allow them in.”

Israel doesn’t advance its case as a tolerant democracy or unwavering US ally by barring elected members of Congress from visiting because of their political views. This would be a shameful, unprecedented move. I urge Israel’s government to allow @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib entry.

“Israel doesn’t advance its case as a tolerant democracy or unwavering US ally by barring elected members of Congress from visiting because of their political views,” Warren tweeted, saying it would be “shameful” and “unprecedented.”

LOLOLOL. The Democrats have been trying to RUIN Israel for YEARS. Now she’s going to hold them to being an “unwavering US ally?”

RICH.

Israeli media reported earlier on discussions of barring the freshman congresswomen due to their support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Reports said Israeli Interior Minister Arye Deri already made the decision to block them, though other parties still had to weigh in.

Israeli law says those supporting boycotts of the country may be denied entry.
