The Israeli government announced Thursday it would not allow Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota to enter their borders for a planned trip into Palestinian territory, citing the two lawmakers support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Under Israeli law, anyone who supports the boycott of Israel may be banned from the country.
The trip was sponsored by the Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue & Democracy, better known as Miftah.
Miftahs own website describes Wafa Idrees, a female suicide bomber, as one of a few young women who chose to join the ranks of the resistance movement. Idrees detonated herself in January 2002, killing an 81-year-old and wounding another 150 Israelis.
These details were not lost on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
[T]he itinerary of the two Congresswomen reveals that the sole purpose of their visit is to harm Israel and increase incitement against it, the prime minister wrote in a statement published Thursday.

Another clue to sponsorship are the Nike, Gillette and MSBNC ad logos on the backs of their clothes.
Why let trash inside?
The morning, my Big Radio DJ breathlessly told me I think it was FotherMucker Tlaib was being let in for “humanitarian” reasons.
If true, all she will do is speak out against America like her god the Fraud inspired her to.
“Somebody just do something” on the back of Ilhan Omar’s rags would be a great Nike ad.
Keeping a hostile foreigner out of your country rather than worry about political correctness and world opinion is a good example of leadership. Good for Israel.
If this happens to further expose the dems as supporting anti-Semites, well, bonus.
Ah, here’s the latest from FauxNews:
I do wish they had let them come over and promptly arrested and tossed them in prison for supporting terrorism. And kept them.
True, but only to see her Grandmother......no political junk
Well, that wasnt good enough for her, and she threw a hissy and said no
Showing her true colors and hate for not only Israel but America....this “supposed visit...” gave her the soap-box here she would have used over there.
How about a Target logo?
Now according to Daily News she canceled her granny trip cause Israel treated her like a criminal.
Like Rush advised, don’t give these people an inch!
If the Israelis allowed US Congressmen to make official “trips to Palestine”, could that not be interpreted as the US recognizing a Palestinian-state by interpretation? I think so.
Sorry. They field tested it and hunters mistook it for something other than advertising. Like the great Far Side cartoon of the cow with the worst birthmark (a target).
LOL
Ha Ha...that’s my fav. far side
BUMMER OF A BIRTHMARK, HAL
I like the one with two firemen standing under a tree with a shotgun saying. “We got you cat out of the tree lady.”
