Israel banned Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and Rashid, Tlaib entry to the territory of the state and of Palestine — an hour after President trump said in a tweet that the authorities would show «weakness», allowing them to come.
«It would be a huge sign of weakness to let Congresswoman Omar and Tlaib. — I wrote to the acting head of the US — They hate Israel and all Jews. There is nothing that would change their opinion. <…> They are just a shame!»
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!
