Israel's deputy foreign minister said the government has decided to bar two U.S. Democratic congresswomen who support the Palestinian-led boycott movement from entering the country next week. Tzipi Hotovely told Israel Radio in an interview Thursday that "Israel has decided not to allow" Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota to visit as planned.
"The decision has been made, the decision is not to allow them to enter," Hotovely told Israel's Reshet Radio. Hotovely said it is in keeping with a policy of denying entry to those who advocate boycotts of Israel.
The newly elected Muslim members of Congress are outspoken critics of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. Tlaib's family immigrated to the United States from the West Bank. Omar has been accused of anti-Semitism for previous remarks about Israel, but has apologized for her incendiary comments.
Israel has sought to combat the so-called BDS movement, which advocates boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israeli businesses, universities and cultural institutions. The country passed a law permitting a ban on entry to any activist who "knowingly issues a call for boycotting Israel."
Good for Israel. I have no idea how these anti-semitism women got elected to Congress in the first place.
Good for Israel. Those two are poison.
Why would they want to visit Israel in the first place? They both hate Israel and want Palestine to overthrow Israel.
Was this to be a scouting mission?

That or probing to see if Israel would tolerate them.

Study a little history about what the Jewish people have gone through over the past century’s especially during the holocaust. And frankly Israel probably deserves the money far more than New Jersey.

Jews are the only suffering people in the Middle East. They had their land stolen and forced to live in squalor.
Leave it to a conservative to want to give funds to a foreign country more than American. Quite a patriot.
If Israel sees fit to ban representatives of our government from coming to their country, then we should cut off all aid and ban travel to theirs.
Whether you like these Congresswomen or not, they are part of our government and this is disrespectful.

Not disrespectful at all, Frankie. Why give aid and comfort to your enemies and allow them to enter your country? Screw the bitches.

If congressional representatives are considered the enemy, no problem, cut off the teat to Israel. How long will they last without our charity.
