A sure fire way to increase tensions here AND in the middle east. Your thoughts?
When you have skeletons in your closet, the last thing you want to do is let someone see who has a voice. This is just Trump kissing Israeli ass as is his habit, and to be expected.
I don't really like Trump. But love Israel! If it helps Israel, it is fine with me!
I have a conscience, I never supported the apartheid in South Africa, and I will never support the Apartheid state of Israel. Racism is wrong, no matter where it occurs. They have always said "never forget", but they have forgotten, or they mean "never forget" only when it is THEIR race. [telegraph.co.uk]
Omar and Tlaib should be prosecuted for election fraud! Lawmakers... A bad joke!
Why election fraud?
I think they were very clear on their positions as candidates, and they were elected by their constituents.
I would say that 95% of those who fear Muslims have never even spoken to one.
Barring the visit is counter productive but the leaders think they'll get political mileage out of it.
When I think about them wanting to visit I am not surprised but why would they want to go. Do they really think that it would be a good idea, do they really think that Israel would let them go freely where they wanted to go. Not on a million years would Israel let them do that and I would not be one bit surprised if one of the settlers would not kill them or in one way or other hurt them. I remember years ago when an American protester was run over by a bulldozer when she protested about new settlements and I also remember when Israelis attacked USS Liberty killing 37 crewmen and injuring 171.
One has a relative there. Should she be denied the right to visit?
@IAJO163 Certainly not. She should be able to if she wants to, however if I was her I am not sure I would take that risk. Nobody in Congress should be denied to visit Israel. Are you aware that Israel now says that Tlaib has the ok to visit her relatives in Gaza, however she has to sign a paper that she will not say anything bad about the visit or Israel and she has declined.
