Israel Boots The Squad
« on: August 15, 2019, 11:58:36 AM »
Or at least a couple of its nastier members. Israel will not allow Omar or Tlaib into their country. Both of them refused to take part in the official bipartisan congressional delegation visiting Israel, instead, choosing to travel separately on their own with their own agenda.

They would likely have been welcomed as part of the official delegation regardless of their views. I think Israel made the right choice here.

Maybe they can go to Hong Kong and hang out with the protestors.  I heard the Chinese military may stop by soon.

No, that won't do. The Chinese protestors are waving American flags everywhere and singing the (our) National Anthem.

They're more likely to join the Chicom police/military in their crackdown on the protestors.

They seem to think Israel must bow to US congressionals. I saw the official travel itinerary from her office. They were going to be in Tel Aviv and she called it Palestine on the official documentation. Also, they're blaming Trump for this.

The spin from liberals is that Trump told them to go back where they came from, and one of them has ties to Israel....  :rofl:

Uncle Joe just sounded off about how awful it was for Trump to make Israel prevent the 2 squad member to go to Israel.  Uncle Joe was quickly reminded that it was Obama and his administration that would not give a Knesset member a visa to visit America.  The clotting hypocrisy in the LPSCD party and its candidates is mind boggling.

And somehow Tlaib thinks this will gain her sympathy:

She pulls the, "It may be the last time I can see my grandmother" shtick. This would be legitimate - she asked for permission and agreed to go as a private citizen, not pushing boycotts or politics - and Israel said, "Sure, come visit your grandma."

As soon as they did, she said, "I'm not going now. She doesn't care about her grandmother at all. Politics first. If I knew I had possibly one opportunity to see a grandparent before they passed, I would in a heartbeat lay politics aside. This just shows that her grandmother was a prop the entire time. This squad is disgusting.

Well, it proves she's a palestinian through and through. They have a long history of using family as a cudgel against THE JEWS! whenever possible. A people who send children as suicide bombers aren't going to think much about using gram-gram as a prop.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

[scratches head] So a country that's 17% Muslim keeps out two Muslim foreigners, and that's a Muslim ban? Common Core math, I guess.

I wonder what they've said about the plan to keep Trump out of the UK? Or various right-of-centery folks.

Also they were not going to meet with one single government official from Israel. All private "pro-Palestine" entities, one of which has direct ties to terrorism.

Adding to my earlier, hateful, racist, Islamophobic comment: doesn't the Knesset have a much higher percentage of Muslim members than the American Congress? [scratches head again]

You're not supposed to know that. Pipe down -- it doesn't fit the narrative.

So, related: Palestine has banned any LGBTQRSFGT activities, and Omar is defending them via deflection. Hello? Democrats? Anybody home? GLAAD, MSM, and other squad supporters? Anybody home?
