  1. David Friedman, the United States ambassador to Israel, released a statement on Thursday regarding Israel’s decision to deny entry to US congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. “The United States supports and respects the decision of the Government of Israel to deny entry to the Tlaib/Omar Delegation,” Friedman stated.

    The Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel is not free speech. Rather, it is no less than economic warfare designed to delegitimize and ultimately destroy the Jewish State. Israel properly has enacted laws to bar entry of BDS activists under the circumstances present here, and it has every right to protect its borders against those activists in the same manner as it would bar entrants with more conventional weapons.”

  2. Although left wing anti-Semitism is the greater threat today, let’s not ignore the strain of anti-Semitism still coming from the right. I think Sarah Silverman is a total sleaze but what this alleged “pastor” said was way over the line. Silverman speaks for herself only, not Jews. But leave it to scumbags like this phony pastor to use her comments to justify his brutal anti-Semitism. Silverman does NOT represent religious Judaism, she is secular. Observant Jews don’t speak and act like her. That “pastor” can go to hell.

  3. Talib & Omar were coming to try and create problems for Israel as a propaganda exercise. They were going to go to the Temple Mount to try and create a confrontation. Anyone who loves Israel will still love Israel. Anyone who hates Israel will still hate Israel.

    Their existence is a negative who needs them in Israel.

  4. It was the right thing to do. Since President Trump has Israel’s back, the fallout will be minimal. With any other president, especially a democrat, Israel would have probably reluctantly allowed them in.
