The REAL Reasons Israel Barred Reps Omar And Tlaib (It Wasn’t Trump)
The Lid ^ | 15 Aug 2019 | JeffDunetz

Posted on 08/15/2019 6:48:42 PM PDT by Rummyfan

After first saying they would waive their anti-BDS law and allow Reps Omar and Tlaib into the country, Israel changed its mind today and decided to ban them from coming into the country on Sunday. In 2017 the Knesset passed an anti-BDS law that blocks foreign BDS activists from gaining entry to Israel as the BDS movement is not only anti-Semitic but calls for the destruction of the Jewish State of Israel.

Note: If anyone needs a refresher on BDS and why it is anti-Semitic, it’s explained in this article.

...

President Trump lobbied hard for Israel the two members of congress. However, his urging had little to do with the decision to bar Reps Omar And Tlaib. His tweet this morning was made after Israel decided to stop the two. In fact two weeks ago, US Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer made it clear that Israel would allow the two inside Israel, despite protests from the Trump administration

...

The change in the Israeli position was caused by the Omar/Tlaib itinerary once they came into the country. Per the Israeli press, it’s become clear in recent days that the entire visit schedule would be devoted only to the Palestinian Authority and only to East Jerusalem and was intended to provoke provocation and, among other things, to try to advance the BDS agenda of the two. Per Israel’s Labor Minister, the visitation plan they prepared was entirely aimed at provocation and incitement against the State of Israel, and not to study the State of Israel’s activities. In other words, they weren’t coming to Israel to investigate what was happening there, they weren’t even going to visit Israel (only the disputed territories). They were coming to Israel for a big anti-Israel PR event, and to push the BDS call for the destruction of the Jewish State.

...

Also noteworthy is the fact that the sponsors of Reps Omar and Tlaib’s trip was an organization called Miftah, that has claimed that “Jews use the blood of Christians in Jewish Passover.” They were also meeting with the group Defense for Children International a group tied to PFLP, a socialist terrorist group responsible for the deaths of over a hundred innocents.

Democratic Party leaders made it clear to top foreign ministry officials that if Israel bans the entry of Omar and Talib a red line in relations with the party will also be struck, which they claim has already been hurt by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s three-decade-long friendship with President Trump. Many top Democrats complain that friendship motivated the Israeli government to move away from the Democrats. Anyone who makes those claims is either lying for political purposes or hasn’t read a newspaper since 2008.

“...motivated the Israeli government to move away from the Democrats..”
The Israeli government is obviously NOT stupid. RATs are just as much their enemy as the Moslems are.

I assumed that the only and sole purpose of their visit to Israel was to cause as much damage and trouble for Israel as they possibly could, for as long as they could, including starting riots, causing as many international incidents as possible, etc.

We could expect that they would position themselves alongside Hamas members as the Hamas people did things that would obviously cause instant arrest by Israeli police or members of the IDF, then use their status as members of the US House of Representatives to evade arrest for themselves and whomever they were with.

Actually, my mind is not nearly devious enough to imagine the kind of things they were intending to do, but I'm certain they would have been outrageous and intensely embarrassing to Israel and the United States.

True. Was it naive to hope that they would stand in front of an Israeli bulldozer?!

Anyone not remember these harpies praising Obama for blocking the entrance of a Likud MK to the US, eh?

Sick and tired of these people crying to alert the world to murder jews. You would think it is a case of Never Again.

The ComPost has a daily commuter paper and published an unsigned article that was a complete lie. The article blamed Trump for the banning of these 2 clowns.

Hurts my heart to see snakes compared to evil people.

No snake ever had malice aforethought or sought to undermine a country.

Only people do that.

Much closer to the reason they were banned, though I'd have preferred expulsion after their actions. But to the media, it was Trump. In mediasepeak, democratspeak, counter intuitive. Israel and the Jews own our President. The Benjamins after all. The Mossad probably did his tweet. Still not the best course, imo.

Consistency requires they acknowledge that, if Trump is a racist or antimuslim, Obama is a Jewhater.

The MK was National Union not Likud, but no matter, conservatives a all unwashed.

Nope they didn’t set it up. It happened with a hands off by President Trump to not meddle into the affairs of Israel because these two unaware Muslims support Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood whose identical planks numbers 11 and 13 call for the destruction of Israel and wiping out the Jewish people. BDS is a simple by product of these two’s blatant antisemitism....
