    Israel bans Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib visit after Trump tweet

    By Madeline Barker on August 15, 2019 Politics

    President Trump took to twitter Thursday morning to criticize a visit to Israel by Congressional Representatives Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.). “They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds” the President claimed. “It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep.Tlaib to visit.”

    It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep.Tlaib to visit. They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds. Minnesota and Michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!

    Within an hour, the two Congresswomen were barred from visiting. Israel’s deputy foreign minister announced on state radio, “We won’t allow those who deny our right to exist in this world to enter Israel”.

    Prime Minister Netenyahu defended the decision, stating “Israel’s law prohibits the entry of people who call and operate to boycott Israel, as is the case with other democracies that prevent the entry of people whose perception harms the country,” as reported by The Jerusalem Post.

    President Trump again commented on the reps, stating, “they HATE Israel!”

    Representatives Omar and Tlaib are the face of the Democrat Party, and they HATE Israel!

    Many notable Democrats have come to the defense of reps; New York Senator Chuck Schumer rebutted the banning, saying “denying entry to members of the United States Congress is a sign of weakness, not strength.

    Israel doesn't advance its case as a tolerant democracy or unwavering US ally by barring elected members of Congress from visiting because of their political views. This would be a shameful, unprecedented move. I urge Israel’s government to allow @IlhanMN and @RashidaTlaib entry.

    I strongly condemn this decision by the Israeli government, which undermines the ability for our two allied countries to have the frank, open and, at times, difficult discussions that we must have in order to ensure Israel remains a secure and democratic nation. https://t.co/NRTdxW9s4N
