Israel bans entry to outspoken US congresswomen
Too bad Trump and Bibi couldn't have coordinated it in a way that the nitwits were in route when Bibi banned their visit, and then Trump could come up with an excuse not to let them land in the US (maybe some potential chemical threat on their plane?). Would have been priceless watching these morons try and find a place to land outside the US. Big Grin

Although I'd prefer to let them leave, not have a place to land, and refuse to let them come back.

I’d hate to see a good airplane, crew, and other occupants hung out to dry. Maybe refuse to let them come back unless they offload those two somewhere over international waters above 10,000’. (But not above 14,000’ as depressurizing without oxygen for everyone would be a no no, and I doubt they’d get any doors open without depressurizing.)

Reminds me of an old TV commercial



...and I disagree that this will reflect badly on Israel. One of our most important allies telling two dimwitted commies to stay the fuck out? I love it.

If President Trump influenced Israel's decision, that makes it all the sweeter. Either way, though, Israel made the only logical decision. The presence of those two haters of all things American and all things Jewish would benefit Israel in no way.

The Administration should put them both on the Terrorist NO FLY Watch List like they did for Kathy Griffin.

Wouldn’t it be great if they tried to barge their way in and found out that Israel takes illegal immigration seriously?

Of course they got denied. They said they wanted to go to Palestine... and that's as real a place as Narnia.

Getting tired of hearing how this goes against “Free Speech” and if the 1st Amendment “means anything” they should be able to say what they want and still get to go.

Sorry, 1st Amendment guarantees the right of free speech all right but it:

A) Stops the AMERICAN government from restricting speech, not the Israeli government.

B) Doesn’t provide any guarantee or protection from the natural consequences of exercising the right.

The argument makes as much sense as saying if you put me jail for shooting my gun into the ICE building it is a violation of my 2nd Amendment rights.

Three dimensional chess. One person is playing and an entire political party is losing. Forcing the entire democratic party to defend those 2 loons? Priceless...

Remind every lib crying about this that Obama banned a member of the Israeli Knesset from entering the United States in 2012.

Can we please ban Tlaib from Michigan. Michigan has two disgusting Senators and now this ass. I know, I know you get the government you deserve. Well I believe that Michigan deserves better.

Israel has probably correctly guessed that these two harpies would stir up trouble within their country, whipping the rabble into violent action. The fact that they represent Congress (in name only) has nothing to do with their ban. It’s all about their open hatred for the State of Israel,
