Israel Fires Back At Tlaib After She Refused To Visit Them

Today Israel decided to allow Rashida Tlaib to visit her grandmother after she sent a letter begging to come.

The nation of Israel has changed its mind and will allow Rep. Rashida Tlaib visit the nation on “humanitarian grounds.”

But when Israel said it would allow her to come she slapped them in the face by saying she would not make the trip, Reuters reported.

U.S. Representative Rashida Tlaib on Friday said she would not visit her family in the West Bank as planned despite a reprieve by the Israeli government allowing her visit.

“Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in – fighting against racism, oppression & injustice,” Tlaib, a Democrat representing Michigan, said in a series of tweets.

Now Israel has hit back at the noted anti-Semite and proponent of BDS, Boycott, divest and sanction, designed to injure Israel.

“Rep. Tlaib just tweeted that she won’t be coming to Israel. Just yesterday she sent me a letter, asking to visit her 90 year old grandmother saying, ‘it might be my last chance to meet her,’” Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri said.

“I approved her request as a gesture of goodwill on a humanitarian basis, but it was just a provocative request, aimed at bashing the State of Israel.

“Apparently her hate for Israel overcomes her love for her grandmother,” he said in a tweet in which he tagged President Donald Trump.

She asked specifically for permission to visit her grandmother, saying she won’t promote boycotts. Then, after Israel said yes, she says she won’t visit if she can’t promote boycotts. So, it was just a stunt to prolong the news cycle of attacking Israel. Never mind, grandma.
