Hanan Ashrawi, a top official in the Palestine Liberation Organization, said in a series of tweets Monday that she believed she had been rejected for political reasons.
The U.S.-educated Ashrawi, 72, said she has visited the U.S. dozens of times. With her fluent English, she is a well-known Palestinian spokeswoman on TV and has met with top U.S. officials over the past three decades.
The Palestinians severed ties with the Trump administration after it recognized contested Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The U.S. has responded with a series of punitive measures.
Ashrawi wrote: “I just hope someone can explain this to my grandchildren & all the rest of my family there.”
I’ll explain it to your tertorist children and grandchildren. Gai cockin. Go back to gaza, or better yet to destroyed damascus. Take AOC and Talib with you.
Ashrawi has a long history of justifying terrorist attacks, bombings and murders, as well as anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic statements.
Thank you, President Trump, For being the first such courageous leader who stands up for Americans and their security, and not caving to political correctness by siding with the enemy and terrorists, as your vile predecessor, Obama, yimach shmo v’zichro, did!!!
no explanation needed – you will refuse to understand it – you encourage violence and terrorism, and reject any reasonable peace offers – you belong in Gaza they love you there – freedom and democracy are not you. You do not deserve it. Better yet go to Cario or Damascus, and get raped by your own people, maybe then you’ll understand and appreciate Israel.
I still remember when Guiliani had Yasser Arafat removed from a concert hall in NYC, against the wishes of the State Department.
Well done. No need to provide travel visas to known terrorist supporters.
