Edit: To be fair, there is a law on the books in Israel to deny entry to those supporting BDS. However, it typically doesn’t apply to visiting dignitaries from an allied country.

“Omar and Tlaib have previously voiced their support for the pro-Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions movement, known as BDS. Under Israeli law, supporters of the movement can be denied entry to Israel.”

Make no mistake, Trump and the WH lobbied hard for Israel to deny them entry. Vindictive asshole has no qualms throwing Americans under the bus.
 
Extremely foolish.

Israel is supposedly a free country in a place where there really aren’t any and our support of them is at least partially predicated on that. Letting Trump turn this into a partisan issue will have consequences and what’s to stop a D president from pressuring foreign nations not to admit political rivals?

The real irony is that Netanyahu himself was invited over to speak against the Obama administration by the GOP, but now he's denying a similar privilege to American lawmakers. But hey, he isn't much more than a common criminal himself, so why expect any honor?
 
We should all recognize that this is Trump explicitly siding with a foreign power against officials in the US government because those officials criticized him.

If you are ever wondering if Trump is going to put the interests of the US before his own interests things like this should pretty obviously show you the answer is no. He's a pathological narcissist so he's probably just mentally incapable of doing it even if he wanted to.
 
And Trump's supporters are like: "Ha-haaaa! Fuck yeah!!! "Mur-cah!!!"

This is Trump's state of the union we now live in.

Sad.

E pluribus unum sumus separata.

Perhaps they'll stick in a line item canceling all foreign aid to Israel and reallocating it to the wall??

Oh yeah...I'm sure...maybe reallocating it to something else the right will lose their mind over...like Planned Parenthood funding...

Trump and Bibi share a total disregard for the future they will leave their citizens or successors with. It’s all about maintaining power at any cost. What happens after that isn’t their concern.
