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.

Done deal.

[wastoute]

If there was just some way we could keep them from coming back.

YEAH!!!!! THATNK YOU ISRAEL!!

[pfflier]

Good for them. Someone in this world still has balls.

[jjotto]

Fake toughness. They’ll be let in next month after the election.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

You go Bibi!

I knew they would never be allowed in the country of Israel from the first moment I heard of this.

[Ann Archy]

What’s with Democrat HAND MOVEMENTS?? these women and Beta Boy have the weirdest arm movements!

[GOPJ]

Good for Israel...

I was going to also post “In before the FLeepers!” but I see I was too late.

Good point. It would’ve been much better to revoke a visa mid flight and then trump could revoke their passport 5 minutes later.

Drop them off in the Azores.

Fake toughness. They’ll be let in next month after the election.

I doubt it. Who is going to push Israel to let them in?

[montag813]

BIG MISTAKE! Invite them in. Be SUPER nice to them. Invite them to Yad Vashem (Holocaust museum), for example. Because Omar will be filmed looking at some plaque or sculpture of the Holocaust, and LAUGH or smirk, like she always does, or say something unbelievably offensive to Jews. It's what she does. And it will only harm her and the BDS scumbags.

Ban her? And she's forever the victim and it proves her point that Israel has "something to hide" and is "undemocratic."

[Sacajaweau]

Certainly a black eye for all those people who voted for these anti-Americans.

[Mr. Mojo]

Should’ve invited them in and then taken them on a tour of Arab-occupied territory accompanied by a Caterpillar driver.

[Retrofitted]

Ya mean like, oh, I don’t know, off the top of my head... that old painter in Berlin?

Just a coincidence. Surely. Yeah, that’s it.

[jjotto]

Chuch Schumer, et al.

[BuffaloJack]

Too bad they can’t also add them to the “No Fly” list.

“...and veteran peace negotiator Hanan Ashrawi”

LOL - VETERAN PEACE NEGOTIATOR !!!

If you’re a ‘veteran peace negotiator’, that means you should have been FIRED from that job years ago...since you’re not accomplishing jack.
