ILHAN OMAR, RASHIDA TLAIB, CALLED ISRAEL 'PALESTINE' IN THEIR ITINERARY

Refusing to acknowledge Israel as their destination before the Jewish State banned their visit, Muslim Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (Mich.) referred to the nation instead as “Palestine” in their travel itinerary.

When Israel relented and permitted Tlaib to visit family in the Palestinian territory for humanitarian reasons, the anti-Semitic lawmaker then changed her mind and refused, reportedly letting her “hate for Israel” overcome her “love for her grandmother.”

Before their plans to visit the Holy Land were announced, Israel had already instituted a policy banning members and supporters of the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement – to which both Omar and Tlaib belong – because of its declared anti-Semitic agenda geared to ultimately wipe the State of Israel off the face of the Earth.


SINGULARLY GOOD REASON FOR BANISHMENT

Even though many agreed Israel’s original explanation for banning Omar and Tlaib from entering its country – due to their BDS involvement – was more than sufficient, the fact that they intentionally denied the legitimacy of Israel as a nation throughout their itinerary (by calling it Palestine) was believed to be more than enough justification.

“According to their own itinerary, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib chose to refer to Israel as ‘Palestine,’” Daily Wire’s Harry Khachatrian tweeted Thursday. “Their trip there was little more than a self-indulgent ploy to delegitimize and malign the Jewish State from within its borders.”

In addition, both lawmakers attempted to shoot down a long-anticipated nonbinding resolution last month condemning the BDS movement by voting against it in Congress. Israel’s leadership recognizes the seriousness of the anti-Israel push that opposes Israel’s legitimacy as a nation and threatens its very existence.

“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu barred Reps. Rashida Talib (D-Mich.) and Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from entering the country and rightfully so,” Townhall’s Matt Vespa reported. “Both women support the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, which is viciously anti-Israel. And by vicious, I mean, these clowns are pushing for the destruction of the Jewish state.”


AOC PLAYING THE DRISCRIMINATION RACE CARD... AGAIN

Shortly after the Israeli government announced Thursday morning that the pro-Palestinian Americans would not be permitted to arrive in Tel Aviv Friday as planned because of their anti-Israel agenda, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) – the leader of the so-called “Squad” that includes Omar, Tlaib and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) – condemned Israeli and American leadership for being exclusionary and discriminating on the basis of religion.



Ayanna Pressley... isn't that the open-minded lady who said "Only Black faces that speak with black voices should be heard" ?

Yeah, there's nothing "exclusionary and discriminating" about her...
