Ocasio-Cortez Makes It Clear: I Am Boycotting Israel Until Netanyahu Lets Omar & Tlaib In
Rep. AOC will not be visiting Israel in the near future – maybe never at all, actually.
She says she’s basically boycotting the Jewish state because Prime Minister Netanyahu decided that Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were not welcome.
Who are we kidding? Why should Bibi let Omar and Tlaib in when they are big on the BDS movement and only disparage Israel on the regular?
Enter the embattled rookie lawmaker from New York…
Netanyahu’s discriminatory decision to ban members of Congress from Israel harms int’l diplomacy.
Visiting Israel & Palestine are key experiences towards a path to peace.
Sadly, I cannot move forward w scheduling any visits to Israel until all members of Congress are allowed.

AOC says YOU are a racist for supporting Trump:
More from Fox News:
President Trump called Democratic Reps. Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar “very anti-Jewish and anti-Israel” and defended his statements urging Israel to block them from entering the country, amid a massive outcry from Democrats.

Tlaib made some very ignorant interesting comments about the Holocaust.
She noted, “There’s always kind of a calming feeling I tell folks when I think of the Holocaust, and the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the fact that it was my ancestors — Palestinians — who lost their land and some lost their lives, their livelihood, their human dignity, their existence in many ways, have been wiped out, and some people’s passports. And just all of it was in the name of trying to create a safe haven for Jews, post-the Holocaust, post-the tragedy and the horrific persecution of Jews across the world at that time. And I love the fact that it was my ancestors that provided that, right, in many ways. But they did it in a way that took their human dignity away and it was forced on them.“
