Israel has decided to bar Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from entering the country on Friday after fierce debates on the contentious matter involving Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and various ministers, Israel’s deputy foreign minister said Thursday.
“The decision has been made, the decision is not to allow them to enter,” Tzipi Hotovely told Israel’s Reshet Radio, Reuters reported.
The reason cited for their ban is reportedly “suspected provocations and promotion of BDS,” a reference to the anti-Israel boycott movement, according to the Times of Israel, which cited a report by local Channel 12.
Interior Minister Aryeh Deri made the decision to bar the US lawmakers from entering the country on Friday, according to the report.

this is quite amazing, and we are seeing it in our lifetime. Members of the United States House of Representatives being denied access to Israel, one of our biggest allies on the planet.

Excellent; this way, they won’t be able to foment an incident and then blame Israel. Also, I wouldn’t put it past the palescumians to pull a false flag incident, assassinate them and blame it on Israel. What these imbecilic witches don’t understand is that they are merely pawns being used. Whether it’s their dead bodies or their ever-in-motion hate spewing mouths, they are just tools.

Denying entry to the congresswomen could further strain relations between Netanyahu, who has highlighted his close ties with Trump, and the Democratic leadership in Congress.

The dingbats were already invited to those places. They were barred from entry because their itinerary only included Palestinian areas and disputed areas.

Doesn't visiting Israel kind of contradict the whole idea of "boycotting" them?
Did the definition of "boycott" change somewhere?

They could take a boat and dock on the shores of The Gaza Strip.
Or fly into an airport in TGS.
(The could fly on Air Jihad.)
Oh there aren’t any?
I don’t know, I doubt it.
