    Ron Dermer responded Friday to speculation about whether two congresswomen who back the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement targeting Israel would be allowed to enter.

    “Out of respect for the U.S. Congress and the great alliance between Israel and America, we would not deny entry to any member of Congress into Israel,” Ron Dermer said in a message his spokesman sent to reporters via WhatsApp.

    Israel in recent years passed a law reserving the right to deny entry to advocates of Israel boycotts. Reps. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., both back BDS, and both have suggested that they plan to visit Israel this summer.

    Does EY ban the Neturei Karta, who don’t recognize Israel, and routinely meet with Jew haters? As long as they permit them to visit, they cannot ban the visit of these two Congresswomen, no matter how distasteful their opinions are.

    So long as Israel lets other non-kosher filthy animals into the country why should these two be banned? International relations works on the basis of accepting other nations filth as they accept yours. The vile arab members of the Israeli parliament have been to America.

    This Didn’t Make Her Bio Page: Democrat Ilhan Omar Was Arrested In 2013 For Trespassing
    For some reason this did not make her bio page.
    (Gateway Pundit) – Democrat lawmaker Ilhan Omar was arrested in 2013 for trespassing.
    The lawmaker refused orders to leave a hotel in Minneapolis after a visit to the city by former Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud.
    Omar defied police and sneaked back into the hotel where the president was staying. She then refused to leave the hotel after she was repeatedly told to leave by the police.
    Not surprisingly, she was as arrogant and rude then as she is today.
    Via Alpha News in October 2018:
    State Rep. Ilhan Omar was arrested in 2013 for trespassing and booked at Hennepin County Jail “to prevent further criminal conduct,” according to a newly uncovered police report.
    The incident took place on January 18, 2013 following an event at the Minneapolis Convention Center featuring former Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. The Somali president was set to stay the night at the Hotel Ivy, causing large groups of Somalis to follow the presidential convoy to the hotel, including Omar.

    Two weeks after Benghazi attack, Ilhan Omar Tweeted ‘Allahu Akbar’
    By Jim Hayek July 20, 2019
    This is old news, of course, but bears repeating at this time. Representative Ilhan Omar has been doing everything she can over the last couple of weeks to paint herself as the victim of bigotry and someone who loves our country. And while there’s definitely some substance to the notion that crowds of Republicans shouldn’t be chanting “send her back,” it’s also understandable why so many Americans are opposed to her presence on Capitol Hill.
    Even if we dismiss reports that she married her brother, called for CBP to be eliminated, said this is “not going to be the country of white people,” referred to 9/11 as “some people did something,” and is regularly praised by former KKK leader David Duke, it’s difficult to dismiss her reaction to the Benghazi attacks that took the lives of four American heroes in 2012.
    I’m not going to dignify her Tweet with an opinion. She’s the one who needs to explain it.
