Israel’s interior minister blasted Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for rejecting the Jewish state’s offer to allow the far-left congresswoman to visit relatives in Israel’s West Bank, saying her “hatred” for the country outweighs her love for her grandmother.
“Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib just tweeted that she will not visit Israel. Last night, she sent me a letter asking me to allow her to visit her grandmother, who is in her 90s, because ‘this might be my last opportunity to see her.’ I agreed to this humanitarian request, but it turns out that it was just a provocation aimed at embarrassing Israel,” tweeted Aryeh Deri.
Deri’s statement came in response to Tlaib’s announcement earlier Friday she will not visither grandmother in the West Bank after the country said it would grant her entry under humanitarian circumstances.
“When I won, it gave the Palestinian people hope that someone will finally speak the truth about the inhumane conditions. I can’t allow the State of Israel to take away that light by humiliating me & use my love for my city to bow down to their oppressive & racist policies,” Tlaib tweeted.

This was a stunt from minute one
Perhaps granny can come visit her in her district, she might have to un-knot her own purse strings unless granny has the plane fare.
Tlaib and Omar are embarrassing enough here at home as “representatives”. They embarrass the entire nation when they set foot overseas. Israel made absolutely the right decision to keep these two hateful anti-Semites out of their country. Tlaib showed just how much she “loved” her grandmother when she refused to go visit if she wasn’t allowed to meet with her terrorist friends to stir up more hatred and violence.
@Deplorable Me:
Both Tlabid and Omar had the opportunity to travel to Israel with the Congressional delegation of 70 that just recently went. Tlabid could have spoken with Israel leadership to discuss what ever problems she has. Instead, she, and Omar, wanted to create a publicity stunt.
Tlabid, who wrapped herself in the Palestinian flag the night she was elected, should be brought up on ethics charges and removed from office. Same with Omar.
Remind me again, which one of The Squad said tha.t Jewish American have “dual” loyalty? Seems to me Tlabid is the one who should have her loyalty questioned.
@retire05: Good points, Retir05.
Seems her own constituents wish she’d visit there once in a while.
They have many problems she ignores.
They want to have townhalls with her, but she’s never there.
She mistakenly thinks she represents foreigners of Muslim origin, not the people in her district.
I wonder how “safe” her district is?
She acts like she’s a permanent shoe-in no matter how she mistreats her constituents.
Trip to Israel funded by terrorist group
both are pieces of muslin camel shit. they have disgraced this Country and have failed to support the sworn duties of the oath of office. remember that in a muslin’s mind you submit or loose your head-real simple. soon the rains will wash away this camel shit on the streets of DC. there is a very good book that you readers should read to gain an understanding of the terrorist muslin world-Sword Scimitar interesting reading, gives one a good impression of the violence of this alleged religious group.
