ST. PAUL, Minn. — Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib sharply criticized Israel on Monday for denying them entry to the Jewish state and called on fellow members of Congress to visit while they cannot.
"I would encourage my colleagues to visit, meet with the people we were going to meet with, see the things we were going to see, hear the stories we were going to hear," Omar said at a news conference."We cannot let Trump and Netanyahu succeed in hiding the cruel reality of the occupation from us." Tlaib, of Michigan, and Omar were joined Monday by Minnesota residents who said they had been directly affected by travel restrictions in the past. They included Lana Barkawi, a Palestinian American who's executive and artistic director of Mizna, a cultural group that sponsors the annual Twin Cities Arab Film Fest. The U.S. government denied visas to several Mideast actors and directors who had been invited to participate last year.
Trump's request to a foreign country to bar the entry of elected U.S. officials — and Israel's decision to do so — were unprecedented and drew widespread criticism, including from many Israelis as well as staunch supporters of Israel in Congress. Critics said Netanyahu's decision was a reckless gamble that risked turning Israel into a partisan issue and threatened to undermine ties between the close allies.
Has Ilhan Omar ever visited Israel, I doubt it, so she is just croaking propaganda for the Socialist liberal left. In other words, true to her nature, she is Lying. When will she be held accountable, for committing tax fraud and bigamy?
Go to Minnesota...see the reality of ultimate delusion.
Why even give these turkeys a platform? They are extreme left wing radicals who would sell America out given the opportunity. A cancer within. Sooner voted out the better.
Finally showing true colors. They are the doom of the Democratic Party

Democratic Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib to discuss travel restrictions to Israel and PalestineDemocratic Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan plan to host a news conference on Monday to discuss travel restrictions to Israel and Palestine, after they were denied entry into Israel last week. Good propaganda Abandoned her granny rather than abandon her hatred. They don't feel about family the way Americans do, do they? I wonder why she even begged for entrance, promising to behave like a good girl, in the first place? It seems degrading. Surely she knows no one will ever forget

Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib share Israel drawing by artist who placed in Iranian Holocaust cartoon contestThe Muslim congresswomen have been condemned in the past for making anti-Semitic tropes and supporting a boycott movement against Israel. I wonder if sitty approved? BDS is a no-go. But freedom of expression is to be respected. I can´t see why cartoons about the holocaust should be banned. In free societies we cherish a right to provoke and even annoy others especially when it comes to different political views.
