That's revisionist history. The USSR granted VISA's to members of congress whom they felt wouldn't be overly critical of them.

Israel was well within their rights to ban to loud mouths whose goal was to make political hay at Israel's expense.

Something tells me that had Israel banned Ted Cruz or any other Republican congress critter you would be siding with Israel.

This is the brilliance of Trump and why he inserted himself into this situation. Because Trump-haters will reflexively defend these women, and attack Israel. Independents are watching and wondering WTH happened to the Democratic party.

Are they going to allow a delegation from the Jewish Theological Seminary to explore Lost Tribes archeology in Somalia and Sudan?

You know, it's a darned hard thing to search for. Google news archives have become increasingly inaccessible over time and general search results give you want they want you to see, not what I want to see.

Wow Russia and Afghanistan denying US Congressmen, great catch. LOL

Russia allowed US congressmen to visit during the Cold War, just a fact but Israel can’t do the same.

Yes Israel has the right, not the point. We also have the right to pull financial and military support.

Correction, the USSR allowed some US congressmen to enter. Not all. And Israel allows some to enter, just not two idiots who shouldn't even be congresswomen if we only had sensible immigration policies in place.

Trump is great on dividing not only our country but the UK and Israel, sheer brilliance.

I'm happy to be divided from anyone who votes Tlaib or Omar as their representatives.

Equating Russia an Israel? Those congressmen that visited Russia were not critics?

Why didn’t we ban the Iranian president Amajinidad from visiting the US.

To the contrary, they are both brilliant essay-writers and thinkers, as is Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. Certainly exceeds Ben Franklin's and Abigail Adams' intellects.
