Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the "sole objective" for Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) and Ilhan Omar's (D., Minn.) trip to Israel was to deny the country's legitimacy in a lengthy Twitter thread explaining the decision to deny them entry into the country.
"Only a few days ago, we received their itinerary for their visit in Israel, which revealed that they planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israel’s legitimacy," the prime minister's official account tweeted.
"For instance: they listed the destination of their trip as Palestine and not Israel, and unlike all Democratic and Republican members of Congress who have visited Israel, they did not request to meet any Israeli officials, either from the government or the opposition."
He later added that "the itinerary of the two Congresswomen reveals that the sole purpose of their visit is to harm Israel and increase incitement against it," and pointed out that there trip was funded by the Palestinian organization Miftah, "an avid supporter of BDS, and among whose members are those who have expressed support for terrorism against Israel."
The prime minister expressed his respect for the United States and its elected members.
"No country in the world respects America and the American Congress more than the State of Israel. As a free and vibrant democracy, Israel is open to critics and criticism with one exception: Israeli law prohibits the entry into Israel of those who call for and work to impose boycotts on Israel, as do other democracies that prohibit the entry of people who seek to harm the country," Netanyahu tweeted.
The prime minister noted that the Minister of the Interior would consider a humanitarian request by Tlaib to visit her relatives "on the condition that she pledges not to act to promote boycotts against Israel during her visit."
Omar and Tlaib were supposed to arrive in Jerusalem this weekend, before traveling to the West Bank. Both have a history of anti-Semitism.
In 2012, Omar claimed Israel "has hypnotized the world" and called on "Allah [to] awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel." She has also claimed pro-Israel politicians are paid off and influenced by AIPAC to support Israel.
Tlaib has ties to Abbas Hamideh, an activist who has called Israel a "terrorist entity." Tlaib has also criticized Israeli policies as "racist" and dehumanizing.
Dear Mossad: Harm anyone that tries to harm Israel.
I believe Pelosi orchestrated this trip for theatrical reasons. Now it’s being used against her and the Democrats. POTUS is a VSG.
Bibi checkmated Tlaib. As one person here said, she hates Jews more than she loves Nana.
Terror tactics rejected!
Both of them are disgusting pigs. Omar brings shame to all Muslims since she is obviously a slut who sleeps around while married to her....what....third husband?
For instance: they listed the destination of their trip as Palestine and not Israel
Hooray for Israel.
All the muslim legislators profess is death and destruction to any infidel.
DEPOPULATE deceptive, harmful politicians from the body politic. BIG waste of opportunity for these deceptive, harmful IDIOTS.
Of course, these two hate Israel.
Of course, these two hate Israel.
So where are the calls of RACISM!!!
exactly, total political ploy, really disgusting.
I think this trip was ultimately meant to spark an international incident. Good on Bibi for recognizing the insincerity of these two MUSLIM “congress members”. Tlaib is saying the visit is to see her sweet little grandmama. I call BS. These two anti Semitic pieces of shiite lie every time there’s a camera in their faces. Every. Single. Time. Why wouldn’t they be lying about the true nature of the visit this time?
Tlaib, meanwhile, tweeted on Thursday a photo of her grandmother Muftia Tlaib, who lives in the occupied West Bank, and said Israel's decision to 'bar her granddaughter' from visiting was a 'sign of weakness'
What the feck is a person who says that Palestine (an imaginary nation) is “my country”, doing in the Congress of The a United States?
Wasn’t one of her husbands also her brother? If so, no wonder she’s so retarded (like a lot of muzzies)-centuries of inbreeding.
And what the world doesn’t know, because the media has propagated a lie, is that there has never been a country “Palestine”, nor a Palestinian people. All those mongrels are from elsewhere, none of which elsewhere will take them back-they don’t need more terroristic inbred parasites.
That’s a MAN, baby!
