People living in Palestinian territory are being denied rights and Tlaib was similarly denied the ability to visit her grandmother, Rivera claimed Monday on "The Story."
"I also think it is absolutely outrageous that two sitting members of the Congress of the United States of America... were denied entry into the country. I'm shocked that the ambassador did not mention 52 years of Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories."
Prior to Rivera's remarks, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon discussed the situation with host Martha MacCallum.
In his interview, Rivera explained why he found it wrong for Israel to deny Tlaib entry at first. Officials later said they would allow Tlaib to visit, but the Michigan Democrat declined.
MacCallum then allowed Danon to respond to Rivera's claims.
"[T]alk about the facts," he said.
"She was allowed to come to visit her grandmother, then she decided not to accept that invitation because she wanted to come and create a provocation," Danon said. "Let's speak to the facts... Maybe you should leave your provocational politics here in the U.S. and not bring it to our territory."
Danon added Israel would like to solve the historic territory issue but said Palestinian officials are not an example of a "viable partner" for negotiations.
In closing, Rivera criticized former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Andrew McCarthy – who was also on set – for doubting the veracity of characterizing the Palestinian territory as an "occupied" territory.

Ok, no one cares because facts no longer matter...
But
1) She could enter the west bank through another country, she doesn’t need to go through Israel...
2) Israel granted her permission to see her grandmother.
3) Her original request offered Israel the restrictions on her conduct, not the other way around
4) this whole thing is just a scam for headlines and nonsense.
What does “Palestinian Territory” mean? There was no Palestine until Yasser Arafat stood up in the UN General Assembly in 1987 and announced he was creating it.
Hey Jerry...I hear there’s a safe in Chicago that was once owned by Al Capone...might be a good prime time special.
(It is absolutely outrageous that two sitting members of the Congress of the United States of America... were denied entry into the country.)
Sorry dude. But it’s even more outrageous that two sitting members of Congress are supporting the destruction of Israel, a close ally to the US (that’s all that BDS seeks to do). Even more outrageous is the Democrat party and individual media personalities emboldening these anti-semites.
Shut up Geraldo. There is no such thing as a Palestinian, only disgruntled Jordanians. I lack sympathy, except for their very young children whom they teach hatred.
Exactly what rights are they being denied, the right to bomb pizzerias and shoot up weddings?
Oooooh. They have to pass through a checkpoint to get across the Green Line. So do I, and I'm an American.

Imam of Peace is claiming that Ilhan Omar is back by Qatar and that he has plenty of evidence and a mole.
When someone like a Jewish reporter backs them so strongly I have to wonder about the motives.
There is no “Palestinian” language, no alphabet, no inventions (except death), no poets, etc.
Just a mob of Arab rejects.
Guess what, Horrendo...no one is obligated to invite a skunk to the picnic.
Another reason to NEVER trust or watch Fox EVER.
it’s best. Him back to occupied Puerto Rico.
I heard Larry Elder yesterday say that during the Obama administration a member of the Knesset was denied entry into the US for political reasons. No one on the left cried foul.
Just curious, who and what are Palestinians?
IDGAF about them or you, Gerry.
Yep, tell us how to think, Jerry. IDIOT Conman ALERT!
Also, stricter occupational measures--isolating different regions of the West Bank, increased "settlements"-- were also introduced. The Palestinians largely brought this on themselves.
And then, who can remember the attempt to give Gaza independence... complete with a working industrial greenouse?
You can't work with these people. Neither can the Egyptians.
Geraldo talks over McCarthy preventing him from heard. McCarthy let Geraldo talk uninterrupted. Geraldo is a liberal who plays two victim cards, religion and ethnicity. He is either a Jew or an Hispanic, whichever’s convenient.
Hey, Geraldo (pronounce the same as Whore Aldo), isn’t Puerto Rico occupied territory as a result of the Spanish American War?
I propose a solution: Free Puerto Rico and revoke the citizenship of all Puerto Ricans.
That solution will get rid of you and AOC and the several million leeches who get special tax treatment and special treatment for agricultural products being shipped into (the rest of) the United States.
Considering she declined to go with the group of congresscritters who were in Israel at the time.
