It perplexes me why anyone would question the perfectly logical move by Israel to deny Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar entry to the country.
Who invites guests whose motive is to destroy their host?
We certainly don't do it in the USA. No one, elected official or not, is permitted entry into the USA whose agenda is the destruction of our country.
Both Tlaib and Omar are aggressive supporters of the BDS movement -- boycott, divest, sanction -- whose objective is economic strangulation of Israel. They are voices of unremitting hostility toward Israel's existence.
Let's get some perspective.
According to Tlaib, the BDS movement is a freedom movement. She tweeted that she is "tired of folks discrediting a form of speech that is centered on equality and freedom."
But Tlaib's agenda is not freedom. It's about eliminating Israel.
Freedom House is a nonpartisan organization in Washington, D.C., that issues an annual report ranking nations around the world according to freedom -- measuring political rights and civil liberties in each country.
Freedom House ranks countries in three categories, "free," "partly free" and "not free."
In the region that Freedom House calls Middle East and North Africa, there are 21 countries and territories, and only two are ranked free, Israel and Tunisia, with Israel receiving the highest total freedom score in the region.
The total population of the region is 420 million, and of the 420 million, 5% are free, including Israel's tiny population of 8.9 million.
So freedom is the exception rather than the rule in the Middle East, and Israel is the shining light. Yet Israel is the only country in the region that seems to bother Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar.
Have we heard a word from them about the 95 percent -- nearly 400 million -- in the region who are not free? Of course not.
They do not lose sleep because there is not enough freedom in the world. They lose sleep because Israel exists.
There's more.
Although the West Bank, where Tlaib's grandmother lives, and Gaza are not sovereign countries, Freedom House identifies them as territories and includes them in its freedom rankings.
Both are ranked "not free" and have rock-bottom scores.
This is not because of Israel. Palestinians have autonomy in their internal affairs.
Why doesn't Tlaib speak to the fact that where Palestinians do have control over their own affairs, they choose to live under a corrupt, un-free regime?
In 2005, Israel unilaterally pulled out of Gaza, and Palestinians assumed full control.
What did they do? Rather than starting to build, they announced, "Today Gaza, tomorrow Jerusalem," and started firing rockets into Israel.
Meanwhile, as part of the operation, Israel uprooted 8,500 Israeli settlers who were living there. Despite protesting being evacuated from their homes, these Israelis accepted the fact, and some moved eastward into the desert, which, in short order, they irrigated and made bloom -- characteristic of the history of Israel.
Within five years, they were exporting $50 million per year of organic vegetables.
According to the Pew Research Center, there are 49 Muslim-majority countries in the world. Two, per Freedom House, are free. But what bothers Tlaib and Omar is the world's single Jewish country, Israel, which is free.
You would think they would admire and want to help others emulate the social and economic miracle that Israelis have created in their young country. Instead they spread hate and blame.
A former prime minister of Israel, Golda Meir, famously said, "Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us."
This was true when she said it 62 years ago, and unfortunately, Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar continue this destructive legacy today.
Both Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump are right to marginalize these negative personalities who work so hard to push the world in the wrong direction.
“Who invites guests whose motive is to destroy their host? We certainly don’t do it in the USA. No one, elected official or not, is permitted entry into the USA whose agenda is the destruction of our country.”
Oh, really?
These idiots cant stop digging.
Red White and Blue with Black Finger Nails.
Smart Glasses and a Scowl...
I am really sick of these two.
Why is this even still an issue?
Anyone with a brain knows they went to incite.
That’s all anyone needs to know.
“Who invites guests whose motive is to destroy their host? We certainly don’t do it in the USA.”
Exactly. I like Star, but she missed the boat on this one. I mean...she forgot to even get out of bed to get to the pier in time for departure. Not only does the USA open it’s borders to these destroyers...hell, we elect destroyer-supporting destroyers to public office.
True, lets burn them.
Let’s not get crazy!! :)
Their goners :)
they’re
Supporters of terrorism demanding entry into Israel is the epitome of chutzpah. Israel doesnt open its door to the Jihad as many want to do in the U.S.
These creeps just don’t understand the concept that if you knock on someone’s door, they DO NOT HAVE TO LET YOU IN!
OOOOPS-Let me re phrase that... Liberals (who want to do away with borders) can never comprehend ‘national sovereignty’.
Bi Bi can do what he wants... in HIS country
It is such pure chutzpah to use your position within a government that you absolutely demonstrably HATE to give you the standing to demand to be admitted to a country you absolutely demonstrably HATE. These pieces of muzzle trash do not belong in our country, let alone our government. Their continuance in Congress, and their continuance above ground is a clear and present danger to us all.
