Don't be obtuse.

This just goes to show that words have consequences. Those two should not be surprised this happened. If they are surprised then they are even more ignorant than they let on to be.

Isn’t this anti Semite the one who complained about “personal attacks”?

Quote:Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich Thursday accused Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., of purposely stirring up controversy with the timing of their planned Israel trip.

Israel decided to block Omar and Tlaib from entering the country after President Trump expressed dismay on Twitter, following their efforts to spurn Israel with a Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) resolution.

"This is not a decision that President Trump has made for Israel. Israeli officials were speaking throughout the night. They've been debating this since this trip was announced in July by Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib," Pavlich said on Outnumbered."

"They were set up and put in a bad situation by Ilhan Omar... She introduced the resolution, the BDS resolution ...which is geared toward eliminating Israel... The day after, she provocatively announced that she was going on a trip to Israel, with Rashida Tlaib, knowing that Israel has a long-standing policy of not allowing people who support BDS into the country. So they set this up."

Pavlich challenged the notion that the issue was a matter of free speech, and claimed negative action against Israel harms Palestinians as well.

"This isn't about free speech, this is about them supporting a movement that denies their ability to exist," she said

"By the way, BDS doesn't just hurt Jews in Israel, it actually hurts Palestinians and has eliminated thousands of jobs for Palestinians living in Israel and the West Bank."

Quote:Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Thursday accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of implementing his own “Muslim ban” after his government said it would block her and another Democratic congresswoman from entering Israel.

“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.”

Both Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., the other lawmaker barred by Israel, are Muslim. They are also outspoken critics of Israel and have expressed support for boycotts of the country. In a tweet, Tlaib ripped the decision as "a sign of weakness."

In her statement, Omar defended her desire to travel to the region, saying the trip is intended to be educational.

“Denying entry into Israel not only limits our ability to learn from Israelis, but also to enter the Palestinian territories," Omar said. "Sadly, this is not a surprise given the public positions of Prime Minister Netanyahu, who has consistently resisted peace efforts, restricted the freedom of movement of Palestinians, limited public knowledge of the brutal realities of the occupation and aligned himself with Islamophobes like Donald Trump.”

Netanyahu, explaining the decision at length on his office's Twitter account, said that Tlaib and Omar's itinerary "revealed that they planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israel's legitimacy."

Netanyahu said their travel plans referred to a trip to "Palestine," not Israel, and the congresswomen were not interested in meeting with Israeli officials. He went on to note that the Palestinian organization that planned the visit, MIFTAH, supports the boycott movement, and that people associated with the group have supported terror against Israel in the past.

He said Israel welcomes critics with the exception of those who support boycotts of the Jewish State.

Omar and Tlaib had planned to visit Jerusalem and the West Bank on a tour organized by a Palestinian organization aimed at highlighting the plight of the Palestinians. Tlaib's family immigrated to the United States from the West Bank, where she still has close relatives.

Other Democrats in the U.S. Congress denounced Israel's decision.

Top ranking Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said it was a sign of weakness instead of strength and "will only hurt the U.S.-Israeli relationship and support for Israel in America."

A close colleague of Omar and Tlaib -- New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- tweeted that Netanyahu’s "discriminatory decision" to ban members of Congress from Israel "harms" diplomacy. She said she would not visit Israel "until all members of Congress are allowed."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., similarly said: “Israel’s denial of entry to Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar is a sign of weakness, and beneath the dignity of the great State of Israel.”

"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."

Quote:Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

No country in the world respects America and the American Congress more than the State of Israel.

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, as do other democracies that prohibit the entry of people who seek to harm the country. In fact, in the past the US did this to an Israeli member of Knesset, as well as to other public figures from around the world.

Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar are leading activists in promoting the legislation of boycotts against Israel in the American Congress. Only a few days ago, we received their itinerary for their visit in Israel, which revealed that they planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israel’s legitimacy. For instance: they listed the destination of their trip as Palestine and not Israel, and unlike all Democratic and Republican members of Congress who have visited Israel, they did not request to meet any Israeli officials, either from the government or the opposition.

A week ago, Israel warmly welcomed some 70 Democratic and Republican members of Congress, who expressed broad bipartisan support for Israel, which was also demonstrated a month ago in a resounding bipartisan vote against BDS in Congress.

However, the itinerary of the two Congresswomen reveals that the sole purpose of their visit is to harm Israel and increase incitement against it.

In addition, the organization that is funding their trip is Miftah, which is an avid supporter of BDS, and among whose members are those who have expressed support for terrorism against Israel.

Therefore, the minister of interior has decided not to allow their visit, and I, as prime minister, support his decision.

Nonetheless, if Congresswoman Tlaib submits a humanitarian request to visit her relatives, the minister of interior has announced that he will consider her request on the condition that she pledges not to act to promote boycotts against Israel during her visit.

After reading that those two are indeed dumber than a box of rocks. Their only intent was to spread their hate towards Israel, in Israel. You'd think if they had any sense they wouldn't have put what they put in the itinerary. They really are stupid. Glad they got called out for their foolishhess and made to look like the simpletons they are.

Short answer- Hell, no.

Top ranking Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said it was a sign of weakness instead of strength and "will only hurt the U.S.-Israeli relationship and support for Israel in America."

A close colleague of Omar and Tlaib -- New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- tweeted that Netanyahu’s "discriminatory decision" to ban members of Congress from Israel "harms" diplomacy. She said she would not visit Israel "until all members of Congress are allowed."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., similarly said: “Israel’s denial of entry to Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar is a sign of weakness, and beneath the dignity of the great State of Israel.”

"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."

It sure sounds like Omar wanted to go to Israel with an open mind and to be "educated."

I also know that bird dogs fly.

Quote:Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich Thursday accused Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., of purposely stirring up controversy with the timing of their planned Israel trip.

Israel decided to block Omar and Tlaib from entering the country after President Trump expressed dismay on Twitter, following their efforts to spurn Israel with a Boycott, Divestment, and Sanction (BDS) resolution.

"This is not a decision that President Trump has made for Israel. Israeli officials were speaking throughout the night. They've been debating this since this trip was announced in July by Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib," Pavlich said on Outnumbered."

"They were set up and put in a bad situation by Ilhan Omar... She introduced the resolution, the BDS resolution ...which is geared toward eliminating Israel... The day after, she provocatively announced that she was going on a trip to Israel, with Rashida Tlaib, knowing that Israel has a long-standing policy of not allowing people who support BDS into the country. So they set this up."

Pavlich challenged the notion that the issue was a matter of free speech, and claimed negative action against Israel harms Palestinians as well.

"This isn't about free speech, this is about them supporting a movement that denies their ability to exist," she said

"By the way, BDS doesn't just hurt Jews in Israel, it actually hurts Palestinians and has eliminated thousands of jobs for Palestinians living in Israel and the West Bank."

Quote:Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Thursday accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of implementing his own “Muslim ban” after his government said it would block her and another Democratic congresswoman from entering Israel.

“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.”

Both Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., the other lawmaker barred by Israel, are Muslim. They are also outspoken critics of Israel and have expressed support for boycotts of the country. In a tweet, Tlaib ripped the decision as "a sign of weakness."

In her statement, Omar defended her desire to travel to the region, saying the trip is intended to be educational.

“Denying entry into Israel not only limits our ability to learn from Israelis, but also to enter the Palestinian territories," Omar said. "Sadly, this is not a surprise given the public positions of Prime Minister Netanyahu, who has consistently resisted peace efforts, restricted the freedom of movement of Palestinians, limited public knowledge of the brutal realities of the occupation and aligned himself with Islamophobes like Donald Trump.”

Netanyahu, explaining the decision at length on his office's Twitter account, said that Tlaib and Omar's itinerary "revealed that they planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israel's legitimacy."

Netanyahu said their travel plans referred to a trip to "Palestine," not Israel, and the congresswomen were not interested in meeting with Israeli officials. He went on to note that the Palestinian organization that planned the visit, MIFTAH, supports the boycott movement, and that people associated with the group have supported terror against Israel in the past.

He said Israel welcomes critics with the exception of those who support boycotts of the Jewish State.

Omar and Tlaib had planned to visit Jerusalem and the West Bank on a tour organized by a Palestinian organization aimed at highlighting the plight of the Palestinians. Tlaib's family immigrated to the United States from the West Bank, where she still has close relatives.

Throw bottle bombs? I heard that they were seen practicing with their slings.

I applaud the Israelis for barring those two Jewish hating Muslims from their country. That's why I like Netanyahu because he has "balls" like Trump and doesn't care what anyone thinks of him.

Trump supporters have to celebrate small petty victories like this because they are few and far between. SAD
