Jerusalem – Ilhan Omar, who announced a new pro-BDS resolution in Congress this week, may enter Israel despite a law which would have prevented her, as well as any supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction (BDS) Movement, from doing so.

Israeli Ambassador to the US Ron Dermer announced Friday evening that “out of respect for the US Congress and the great alliance between Israel and America, we would not deny entry to any member of Congress into Israel.”
While he did not mention any Congressman by name, it is clear that he related to Omar and her peer, Rep. Rashida Tlaib, both of which supported the BDS movement and plan to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories soon. Omar announced her trip this Wednesday, saying she “wants to learn” but did not provide any details.
Well that is a bit of a surprise. Perhaps the government thinks her presence will produce enough outrage to drive up the vote.
Heshy is SHEKER. It took a single day to prove it. B”H Israel Eretz Yisroel is not run by Willi/Monroe/Lakewood zealots who are confused what EMES or SHEKER is.. Its a civilized Country where they understand that in a Democracy in 19 months she could be the USA Secretary of State or the Ambassador to Israel or Palestine. Maybe even CIA Director. She is for sure less antisemite than Nixon or Reagan was. Nixon openly cursed the Jews and Reagan embargoed Israel. She is certainly more qualified than Freedman a bankrupt Lawyer who was never elected to anything beside his Shul.
Why Not. She is a Tzedekeiste (Righteous woman) next to many Republican Presidents. Boycotting product in the West Bank Even the State of Israel does not consider part of Israel (Its not on Map of Israel by the USA State Dept under Trump) is not even close than the EMBARGO of the Entire State Of Israel ( 7 million Jews homeland) as Reagan did, or calling all Jews enemies like Nixon did. Its just one click away.
Smart move of Israel. Many Neturei Karteniks will oppose this move. Some stam Meshugayim here will do the same. You cant find this days more Zionist than Dermer. Jechi Dermer and Jechi Omar. You are allowed to disagree respectfully.
wesk jews why not march into aushwitz “out of respect”?
Stupid decision. Also I do not understand why Omar is not being inverstigated for her 2 husband at the same time, one of which is possible her brother. Also she wrote a letter to judge to defend Somialia American terrorists., etc
B”H Israel understand it needs Congress and the People of America (Republicans, Democrats,Independents) they fully aware that moving the embassy is gurnischt. The contribution of Obama, Clinton, Carter etc military, economically and politically what counts, not empty Picture Opportunity’s. Obama helped Israel more than any POTUS before him. Lets hope and Pray that Trump will follow in his footsteps and not change his mind like he does it daily in many other subjects like Canada and the Free Press is the Enemy and North Korea is his best Friend (+Putin and the King of Saudis)
Spineless and pathetic. Would Netanyahu allow Hitler into Israel because he was the head of a state? How about Corbyn? What the H*** is wrong with us? Omar & Tlaib are avowed anti-semites, and don’t recognize Israel as a country with a right to exist! So why should Israel allow them to come to Israel to denigrate Jews and give her fodder for her Hamas supporters? What am I missing???
she is not an American – she is a Anti-Semite, anti-American, anti-civilization, she should be under house arrest as soon as she lands until she leaves.
This was a smart move; if they had been denied entry, they would have both become martyrs. To the experts on this site, who badmouthed Richard Nixon, kindly be advised that if he was such an enemy of ours, why did he authorize a massive airlift, which saved Israel during the Yom Kippur War? He ordered the DOD, to “give them everything that they need”. There were fighter jets flown off aircraft carriers, tanks, artillery, bombs, rockets, munitions, medical supplies, etc., which were flown in by C-5A’s, and C-141’s. You both had a lot of chutzpah badmouthing Richard Nixon!
