2020 hopeful: Trump has refused to stand up to Israel, China, and Russia
Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.) said Sunday that the United States needs to hold Israel "accountable" for barring two members of Congress from entering the country.
"Should there be repercussions for Israel?" ABC's This Week host Martha Raddatz asked.
"I think as a friend and ally, we need to hold them accountable," Gillibrand said.
Last week, Israel denied entry to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) because of their support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. President Donald Trump applauded Israel's decision to deny entry to the two congresswoman while a bipartisan group of lawmakers criticized Israel's decision.
Israeli officials later decided to give Tlaib permission to enter the country for humanitarian purposes so she could visit her grandmother, who lives in the West Bank. Tlaib declined Israel's offer to enter the country and visit her grandmother because of the country's "racist treatment."
"How do you hold them accountable?" Raddatz asked.
"That's what you do as president, President Trump is unwilling to hold anyone accountable. He's unwilling to stand up to other world leaders. You've seen this with instance of Israel, seen it with China and Russia," Gillibrand said.
"I don't know why Netanyahu would want to deny members of Congress to come to Israel if they expect us to be that never-ending partner and friend," Gillibrand added.
The democrat party hates Jewish people.
They hate anything good and decent.
More proof the Gillie is a lunatic leftist but the Left will just slough it off as another one of her “gaffs”.
I, for one, would never want her as a “friend”. It’s like a human inviting a werewolf in for dinner.
Great Britain refused to let Michael Savage visit.
How were they punished?
The Hamas Caucus.
PLUS THEIR ENABLER
Let’s say we hold Israel accountable. Then what?
She hasn’t thought that part out yet.
It’s just like the rest of the lefts spew, sound bites.
Did chuckie tell you to say that?
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Simple solution, endorse BDS in the 2020 Democrat platform. Break off relations. Deport disloyal (Israel supporting) Republicans. First, time for Israel supporting Dems later.
Actually we need to hold New York accountable. The state has endorsed the destruction of America and sent two Senators to Washington to do the job.
New York should no longer be consider America
