Agreed. But they won't. The U.S. does whatever Israel wants her to.

It's a clear demonstration at how out of touch the Democrat party has gotten with the core values of Western Civilization that Israel is forced to ban these two women, because they consider them dangerous, from entering their country.



Don't you agree?

PM says ‘sole purpose’ of US lawmakers’ visit was to deny Israel’s legitimacy |Times of Israel
that's 6:49 a.m. Israel time, i assume?

very interesting. leftist cnn says this: "Israel announced Thursday it was barring the entry of two Democratic US congresswomen after Donald Trump encouraged the move"

ilness omar is fit to be tied:

"It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government," Omar said in a statement. "Trump's Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing, this time against two duly elected Members of Congress."

Don't you agree?

Default AIPAC disagrees with Trump and Netanyahu

Plot thickens:

AIPAC tweeted this:
"We disagree with Reps. Omar and Tlaib's support for the anti-Israel and anti-peace BDS movement, along with Rep. Tlaib's calls for a one-state solution. We also believe every member of Congress should be able to visit and experience our democratic ally Israel firsthand,"

This is going to come back to bite Israel in the arse. Stupid move on their part. AIPAC has denounced it. Israel does not want to alienate AIPAC. Israel is going to lose the PR battle on this as it makes them look like tools.

1) Boycotting someone is "economic" terrorism? Now I've heard everything

2) BDS is NOT antisemitic. It is anti the current regime in Israel and their policies toward Palestinians. Many Jews actually support BDS. It's mainly right wing nutjob evangelical Christians who think that any criticism of Israel is antisemitic.
