House Democrats are reportedly considering retaliatory moves against two top American and Israeli diplomats in response to Israel’s decision to block Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib from entering the country.
Senior Democratic members of Congress are considering legislative action against Ron Dermer, Israel’s ambassador to Washington, and David Friedman, the U.S. ambassador to Israel, according to McClatchy.
According to the report, the Democrats are discussing a possible vote on a statement of no confidence in Dermer, as well as the opening up of an inspector general investigation into Friedman.
Meanwhile, Tlaib’s 90-year-old grandmother, Muftia Tlaib, who lives in the West Bank, used fiery language as she ripped President Trump for his comments about the banned trip: “Trump tells me I should be happy Rashida is not coming,” she said, according to Reuters. “May God ruin him.”
Earlier in the week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cited Omar and Tlaib’s anti-Israel statements in saying it would block her and another Democratic congresswoman from entering Israel as part of a planned trip.
The move – announced shortly after Trump tweeted that it would "show great weakness" to allow them in – has ignited a massive outcry from Washington Democrats, as Netanyahu's government stands by the decision arguing the U.S. lawmakers have an ulterior, anti-Israel agenda.

The Israelis let her in...the moozlum terrorist-loving nitwit refused to do so. What a useless piece of stupid.
If the Democrats push this, they lose more Jewish vote.
Dems hate Jews...Jews love Dems...
The House democRATs have been retaliating against the USA ever since we put an end to slavery.
This doesn’t surprise me one bit. Since the Democrats refuse to protect the borders of this country, why would anybody think they’d support any other country protecting theirs?
Yes, they are.
Sooner or later.
Why wait?
The following comment from BalloonLips in the conversation section is spot on:
Liberals: “Gee I wonder why white nationalism is on the rise in America and most other 1st world countries? It’s just terrible! How can we stop it?!”
Well let’s see shall we?
For the last 40 years, white people have been openly discriminated against and completely disrespected, constantly condemned and accused of not being tolerant enough no matter how much of their identity, culture and country they give up to foreigners, demographically they’ve been brutalized by forced mass foreign 3rd world immigration, anti-white people laws have even been passed that permit discrimination against them (affirmative action), and even their identity is being dismantled and condemned both in history and future.
Gee, I wonder why on earth the “privileged” white folks are upset? Anyone know?
If the Dems are stupid enough to follow the Squad on this and the speaker lets them continue with this charade, they won’t stand a chance in 2020. All of these women have spoken out against Israel, Rashida calls Palestinians “her people”, Omar is rude and vile about a close ally to America which is an embarrassment. These Muslim women are using AOC as a pawn...
JINOs have been remarkably loyal to the Dem party. Weird, but true.
Why are they even there?
I became good friends with the Jewish broker of my RE office a few years ago. We were discussing Israel and the Jewish population there and he informed me that he had no real feelings regarding Israel and that he didn’t care one way or the other when dems pulled these kind of stunts. And yes, he still voted democrat. Not saying that he is typical of the American Jew, but I think he is. So these democrat creatures will continue to receive the Jewish vote.
Grandmas speaks pretty good English for a Palestinian. Do you suppose she has a DNC handler sitting beside her as her voice??
Imagine a convicted Black Nationalist from South Africa wants to travel to USA and specifically visit Baltimore and Chicago to incite African Americans living in those cities, will the U.S. government allow him to travel to USA? Of course not. So I can see Israel’s case.
Yes, your friend is typical of American Jews:

They will ring the Jihad Squad around their own necks.
I wouldn’t be too hard on Fox News about this story.
This comes from an old newspaperman ... me, 25 years as reporter and editor.
It’s not my place to judge, just report what officials are saying. I never got to apply this principle in D.C., but I certainly did in several state capitals.
Now, if you want my personal opinion, I’d say that the entire Democrat leadership should be shipped off to Gitmo ... that is the ones we don’t summarily hang as traitors. But that’s just me.
oh, please! The Jewish Democrat donors, large and small, are more left than they are Jewish; they hate, loathe and despise Netanyahu.
