Prime Minister Netanyahu went on to explain that his decision to bar the two Congresswomen was based primarily on the disturbing details surrounding who exactly was funding their trip.
Netanyahu revealed to the world that a terrorist-backed organization was footing the bill.
In addition, the organization that is funding their trip is Miftah, which is an avid supporter of BDS, and among whose members are those who have expressed support for terrorism against Israel.
Therefore, the minister of interior has decided not to allow their visit, and I, as prime minister, support his decision.
Don't Be Fooled, Omar and Tlaib Maliciously Set Up Israel BanOn July 17, 2019, Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar introduced a pro-BDS movement resolution on Capitol Hill. Her colleague, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, co-sponsored the resolution and compared the Israeli treatment of Palestinians to how the Nazis treated European Jews during World War II. She made the horrific and false accusation during a speech on the House floor.
One day later, Omar and Tlaib announced they were planning a trip to Israel. Coincidence? Hardly.
The order and timing of events here is crucial and proves their goading of Israeli officials was a set up from the beginning.
Omar and Tlaib know Israel has longstanding law and policy barring supporters of the BDS movement from entering the country. It is regularly deployed against BDS activists.
By introducing a pro-BDS resolution in Congress and then a day later announcing a planned trip to Israel, they knew their chances of getting rejected by the Israeli government were high, if not guaranteed.
This enabled them to put Israel in a difficult position with two choices: 1. Violate the law by giving them special treatment and then allowing them to actively campaign against the countrys existence and interests within its own borders 2. Reject them and be accused of bigotry and racism, defacto proving allegations from Omar and Tlaib about bigotry, apartheid and unequal treatment. In other words, bad PR. This lose-lose scenario was purposely provided in bad faith.
There are other indicators Omar's and Tlaibs announced trip to Israel was carefully calculated.
Just last week a congressional delegation of 72 lawmakers, Democrats and Republicans, made an official trip to Israel. They met with Prime Minister Netanyahu and leaders of the Palestinian Authority. Omar and Tlaib refused to go. Instead, they developed their own itinerary and titled it U.S. Congressional Delegation to Palestine. Omar and Tlaib dont believe Israel has a right to exist, so much so they couldnt bear writing down the countrys name.
Ultimately, a decision had to be made.
"No country in the world respects America and the American Congress more than the State of Israel. As a free and vibrant democracy, Israel is open to critics and criticism with one exception: Israeli law prohibits the entry into Israel of those who call for and work to impose boycotts on Israel, as do other democracies that prohibit the entry of people who seek to harm the country, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a released statement.
"Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar are leading activists in promoting the legislation of boycotts against Israel in the American Congress. Only a few days ago, we received their itinerary for their visit in Israel, which revealed that they planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israels legitimacy," he continued. The itinerary of the two Congresswomen reveals that the sole purpose of their visit is to harm Israel and increase incitement against it. In addition, the organization that is funding their trip is Miftah, which is an avid supporter of BDS, and among whose members are those who have expressed support for terrorism against Israel. Therefore, the minister of interior has decided not to allow their visit, and I, as prime minister, support his decision.
Graciously and despite her radical ties, Tlaib was granted the option to apply for a humanitarian visa to visit her family.
If Congresswoman Tlaib submits a humanitarian request to visit her relatives, the minister of interior has announced that he will consider her request on the condition that she pledges not to act to promote boycotts against Israel during her visit," Netanyahu continued.
Right on queue, Omar engaged in gaslighting, accused the entire country of bigotry and delegitimized Israel's standing as a democracy.
It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government. Trumps Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing, this time against two duly elected Members of Congress. Denying entry into Israel not only limits our ability to learn from Israelis, but also to enter the Palestinian territories, Omar said in response. Sadly, this is not a surprise given the public positions of Prime Minister Netanyahu, who has consistently resisted peace efforts, restricted the freedom of movement of Palestinians, limited public knowledge of the brutal realities of the occupation and aligned himself with Islamophobes like Donald Trump.
The irony of the only democracy in the Middle East making such a decision is that it is both an insult to democratic values and a chilling response to a visit by government officials from an allied nation, she continued.
Democrats quickly came to her defense to trash the decision, failing to acknowledge the reasons for the denial.
MoC are frequently asked to visit Israel to see things for ourselves. But Netanyahu choosing to ban the only 2 Muslim women in Congress from entering tells the US that only *some* Americans are welcome to Israel, not all. Trump is exporting his bigotry &making matters worse, fellow squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez chimed in.
Trump & Netanyahu are afraid to have @reprashida & @ilhan witness first-hand the brutality & dehumanization Israels occupation inflicts on the Palestinian people. This bigoted president is working to extend his Muslim travel ban to Members of Congress, Democrat Congresswoman Betty McCollum tweeted.
Israels denial of entry to Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar is a sign of weakness, and beneath the dignity of the great State of Israel. The Presidents statements about the Congresswomen are a sign of ignorance and disrespect, and beneath the dignity of the Office of the President, Speaker Pelosi lamented.
Mission complete.
These actions push the Democrat party even further away from the long-established alliance with Israel, which is exactly what Omar and Tlaib want. Its one thing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who used to be an advocate against BDS and declared the movement anti-Semitic, is right about.
It will only hurt the U.S.-Israel relationship and support for Israel in America, Schumer said.
Omar and Tlaib weren't denied entry to Israel because they are Muslim, they were denied entry because they are tied to terrorism, actively support the BDS movement and do not believe the country has the right to exist. It's not complicated. It is simple. They won't be visiting Israel for these reasons, but, they already knew that.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., indicated Friday that she will not travel to the West Bank to visit family, despite getting permission hours earlier from Israels interior minister -- following a diplomatic firestorm over the government's earlier refusal to allow her and a colleague entry as part of a broader visit.
Omar has relationships with several violent Islamists.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has spent a fair bit of time railing against the gun violence epidemic in the United States, but has spent more time hanging around Islamic radicals known for their ties to fringe groups, and for posing menacingly for photos with heavy-duty weapons.
On June 5, she made the wild and unsubstantiated claim on her Twitter account that 500 people die from gun violence every day.
How many more lives will we let gun violence claim? she asked rhetorically.
But Gateway Pundit made an observation about one of Omars apparent friends.
The other ironic thing about Omars tweet is that she hangs out with radicals like Hassan Shibly who is believed to be the one that contributed to Ilhan Omars speech delivered during the LA CAIR fundraiser in March 23rd, 2019, the site reported. The speech where Omar said Some people did something when referring to 9-11.
Hassan Shibly is also connected to CAIR, the Hamas-related Council on American-Islamic Relations, that pushes Islamic causes in the US. Hassan also appears to have an affinity for guns. No doubt this was known the many times he visited Obamas White House, Gateway Pundit continued, adding two graphics.
Shibly allegedly visited the Obama White House:
This is not the first story about the people who surround Omar that should raise eyebrows.
Laura Loomer first reported a year ago for Big League Politics that Omars campaign muscle was a former candidate for Minnesota State House and Somali-born man convicted of stabbing several people.
But this election season could have been a lot weirder in Minnesota by having a candidate on their ballot who allegedly was convicted of stabbing people. That potential candidate reportedly served as the campaign muscle for Ilhan Omar.
Back in January 2018, another Somali immigrant from the state of Ohio who moved to Minnesota almost threw his hat in the ring for Minnesota state representative in District 62A.
Guhaad Said, who is also known as Guhaad Hashi, Caaqil Guhaad Hashi and Guhaad Hashi Said, made the announcement he was running for Minnesota State House in January on his Facebook page, Caaqil Guhaad Hashi and stated in a post on his page: Running for Minnesota House of Representatives is truly an honor and a job I take very seriously. The most important part of my job is to help state government work more effectively for you.
In his campaign announcement, however, there was no mention about his arrest in Columbus, Ohio where he pled guilty to aggravated assault on July 9, 2015, which in Ohio is a Level 4 felony.
According to Columbus, Ohio online police reports, the incident occurred on Thursday, July 3, 2015 at approximately 3:10A.M. Officers and medics were dispatched to 3341 Derbyshire Drive, Apartment A on a report of a person who was stabbed. Upon arrival, officers found the victim suffering from multiple cuts and lacerations. The victim was transported to the hospital in stable condition. The police report said officers also found two additional victims at the scene who also sustained various wounds from being stabbed with a knife. The victims identified the suspect and indicated the incident occurred as a result of a disagreement and fight between the suspect and victims. The report stated all of the victims were expected to recover from their injuries and the suspect, Guhaad Said was arrested at the scene.
Guhaad Said made news in Minnesota in 2016 when he served as the muscle for the campaign of Minnesota State Representative Ilhan Omar, who became the first Somali-American state representative in the country.
In a September 2016 Alpha News story, a source within the Somali community provided Minnesotas Alpha News with information in exchange for anonymity regarding the Omar state house campaign. The source, called Z, specifically mentioned Guhaad and identified him as the campaign muscle for Omar. Z told Alpha News that Guhaad was searching for the person or persons who leaked the information that Omar had married her biological brother for immigration fraud purposes. He serves as [Omars] muscle in the Somali community and has been leading a witch hunt to out the snitch in the community. He has used everything from intimidation to threats to silence community members from speaking out about this, which is why no Somali has publicly come forward to state what we all know to be true.
Thursday, Omar and her fellow freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, also a Democrat and Muslim, were banned from traveling to Israel in a move that has infuriated some on the political
left, who apparently do not believe that nations should have the right to self-determination.
After Israel Decides To Allow Tlaib To Visit She Slaps Them In The Face Again
Israel Fires Back At Tlaib And It Is A
Direct Hit
Israel just slapped back at Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib who begged to visit her grandmother in a letter to them after it banned her and Rep. Ilhan Omar from visiting.
The nation, which banned both Congresswomen on Thursday, decided to allow her to visit her grandmother after her letter.
But when Israel said it would allow her to come she slapped them in the face by saying she would not make the trip, Reuters reported.
U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib on Friday said she would not visit her family in the West Bank as planned despite a reprieve by the Israeli government allowing her visit.
Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in fighting against racism, oppression & injustice, Tlaib, a Democrat representing Michigan, said in a series of tweets.
Now Israel has hit back at the noted anti-Semite and proponent of BDS, Boycott, divest and sanction, designed to injure Israel.
Rep. Tlaib just tweeted that she wont be coming to Israel. Just yesterday she sent me a letter, asking to visit her 90 year old grandmother saying, it might be my last chance to meet her, Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri said.
I approved her request as a gesture of goodwill on a humanitarian basis, but it was just a provocative request, aimed at bashing the State of Israel.
Apparently her hate for Israel overcomes her love for her grandmother, he said in a tweet in which he tagged President Donald Trump.
She asked specifically for permission to visit her grandmother, saying she wont promote boycotts, The Jerusalem Post contributing editor Lahav Harkov said.
Then, after Israel said yes, she says she wont visit if she cant promote boycotts. So, it was just a stunt to prolong the news cycle of attacking Israel. Never mind, grandma.
No one said Tlaib cant express her opinions about Israel. The law is specific its about boycotts. And she knows that, she only mentioned not promoting boycotts in the letter to Deri, she said.
Its funny, I was really sure the grandmother thing was genuine. See this tweet from an hour ago. I just assume people genuinely honor their grandparents!
Using your 90 year old grandmother and her frailty for political gain is beyond cynical, the editor said in a tweet.
"Rashida Tlaib will be spending tonight at a Shabbat gathering w/ Jewish Voices for Peace. It's a notable choice of Jewish ally for this moment: an org that supports BDS, is fairly marginal in the Jewish institutional world, + is widely seen as anti-Israel in that world," Green tweeted.
Jewish Voice for Peace supports the BDS movement, and has labeled Israel an "apartheid" state.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu explained on Thursday that Tlaib's commitment to BDS was one of the reasons she and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) were initially denied entry to Israel. Both representatives have a history of anti-Israel activism and anti-Semitic controversies, including spreading anti-Semitic tropes such as "dual loyalty" accusations against Americans who back Israel.

READ THIS... by Muslim insider.. Islam is not a religion it is a murderous cult.
It's time for all nations to wake up to the fact that Muslims are NOT invading to assimilate and live peacefully. Consider this:
Wake up America! From a Muslim's mouth... By Teresa Nolivo.
The following reveals the truth of the most diabolical group on the planet who take advantage of anyone who are foolish enough to allow them to.
The truth of Islam Jihad, Sharia Law, ISIS, AND Hijrah. This is his story:
I was born and raised a Muslim. My whole family is still Muslim; I know every genetic code of Islam because I have been fully indoctrinated, and I know and understand the Islamic brain
The following is the Islamic message to the United States Of America
To the infidels of the West, We will fight you infidels to death while your own laws protect us. Your Democrats and your news media will support us. N.G.O. ( Non Governmental Organisations) will legitimize us. (C.A.I.R.); The ( Council on AmericanIslamic Relations) will incubate us. The A.C.L.U. (American Civil Liberties Union) will empower us. Western Universities will educate usfor free. U.S. Mosques will shelter us. O.P.E.C. The (Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries) will finance us. Hollywood and their foolish celebrities will love us. Kofi Annan and most of the United Nations will cover us. Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Indonesia and even from India to the US and to the other Western countries. They will go to the West for education and be given full scholarships. America is paying and will continue to pay for our childrens education and their upbringing in state funded Islamic schools. We will abuse your welfare system because you will allow us to. Our children will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad. We will take full advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion, and when the time comes, we will stab you in the back. We will say one thing on the camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Countrys interest than US interest. We will teach our children Islamic supremacy from their very childhood. We will teach them not to compromise with the Infidel. We do this from a very early age so our children wont hesitate to be a martyr. We will take over the Europe first and then the US will be next. We already have a solid ground in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and we are now in the United States working diligently for the day when we overtake your country. Your news media at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS; and others will paint a deceptive picture portraying Islam as a victim of US and Israeli oppression. The lying news reports will spread like wildfire saying American military killed 10 Muslim babies, the Jews killed two Muslim women, We will use these lies to turn your own people against you, and many of them will march in the streets, burning US flags and destroying cities as the sympathize with Muslims. You will be impressed when you meet a moderate Muslim personally. As your next door neighbor, coworker, student, teacher, engineer, professionals you may even like us. You will find us well mannered, polite and humble that will make you say, wow, Muslims are good and peaceful people, but they will become vicious and violent when the call for Jihad sounds. Massive emigration into all countries across the globe known as Hiram; a Muslim invasion. We will use your own laws and values of kindnes against you. You are destined to lose... Are you ready for this America and Canada?
