| Israel bans Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar because they spoke out against the status quo. |
The imbecile and foreign bullshit artist are working together to punish two elected lawmakers.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are allegedly banned from traveling to Israel. The two lawmakers were heading with the Democratic coalition to investigate the atrocities sparked by the never ending conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.
He tweeted today.
The Philadelphia shooter should never have been allowed to be on the streets. He had a long and very dangerous criminal record. Looked like he was having a good time after his capture, and after wounding so many police. Long sentence - must get much tougher on street crime!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 15, 2019
Representatives Omar and Tlaib are the face of the Democrat Party, and they HATE Israel!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 15, 2019
It triggered a backlash from the Democrats and the two lawmakers.
Omar and Tlaib became the first Muslim women to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. They have been very critical of the Israeli government and its controversial shit kicker Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli government issued the denial of entry on Thursday. This was a move in response to the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions Movement. The two lawmakers support the Palestinian-led boycott against the Israeli government's brutal treatment of the dispute region's citizens.
This move drew swift condemnation from Democratic leaders, some Republicans and the largest Israeli-sponsored lobbyist group.
AIPAC responded to the Omar and Tlaib's denial of Israel.
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.— AIPAC (@AIPAC) August 15, 2019
Netanyahu said the interior minister had decided to deny entry to the lawmakers who were scheduled to visit the region. The shit kicker supported the move.
"As a free and vibrant democracy, Israel is open to critics and criticism, with one exception: Israeli law prohibits the entry into Israel of those who call for and work to impose boycotts on Israel."

Tlaib's family lives in the West Bank. She immediately denounced Trump and Netanyahu as enablers of bigotry and global instability.
Both lawmakers respond to Trump and Netanyahu.
It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government.— Rep. Ilhan Omar (@Ilhan) August 15, 2019

This woman right here is my sity. She deserves to live in peace & with human dignity. I am who I am because of her. The decision by Israel to bar her granddaughter, a U.S. Congresswoman, is a sign of weakness b/c the truth of what is happening to Palestinians is frightening. pic.twitter.com/GGcFLiH9N3— Rashida Tlaib (@RashidaTlaib) August 15, 2019
Then here comes the status quo lawmakers. The Speaker of House, Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and top-Israeli supporter and bundler Jerry Nadler saying they're outraged but actually they're relieved that Omar and Tlaib are banned.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) denounced the decision to bar them entry, calling it "a sign of weakness, and beneath the dignity of the great State of Israel." She also called President Trump's earlier statements about the congresswomen "a sign of ignorance and disrespect, and beneath the dignity of the Office of the President."
An aide to Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD), the House majority leader, said he "believes refusing them entry is a grave mistake that undermines the bipartisan pro-Israel consensus." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called on the government to reverse its decision, saying it "will only hurt the U.S.-Israeli relationship and support for Israel in America."
The first-term Muslim members of Congress are outspoken critics of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. Tlaib's family immigrated to the U.S. from the West Bank. Omar has been accused of anti-Semitism for previous remarks about Israel, but has apologized for her incendiary comments.
Politicians and former diplomats spoke out against barring the congresswomen from visiting following an unconfirmed earlier report that Israel had resolved to bar Omar and Tlaib from entering the country.
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who has previously criticized Omar, tweeted that he "strongly condemn(s)" Israel's decision to bar the two congresswomen.
"I strongly condemn this decision by the Israeli government, which undermines the ability for our two allied countries to have the frank, open and, at times, difficult discussions that we must have in order to ensure Israel remains a secure and democratic nation," Nadler said.
Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro wrote on Twitter that any decision to bar their entry "harms Israel's standing in the U.S., boosts BDS."
Israeli lawmaker Ayman Odeh, leader of the Joint List of Arab parties, criticized the move, writing that "Israel has always banned Palestinians from their land and separated us from other Palestinians, but this time the Palestinian is a U.S. Congresswoman."
Arthur Lenk, formerly Israel's ambassador to South Africa, said barring Omar and Tlaib "would be sinking us deeper into U.S. domestic political quagmire."
