How humiliating for Tlaib... Netanyahu allows her to visit and she turns snowflake.

Tlaib is not the one banning someone because of a difference of opinion. Netanyahu is clearly the clown in this situation. Like I said, maybe he wants to claim Trump's title as worlds biggest Snowflake and Laughing Stock?

That is exactly my point.

Israel should not be allowed to have THIS type of control that requires an American representative to ask Israel's permission to enter the Palestinian territories in the West Bank.

Interesting how thin the support for the principle of 'free speech' is with some on the right wing. Her visit was contingent on her agreeing what not to say while on the trip. That's a legitimate requirement by Israel - their country, their rules - but you shouldn't pretend that the visit wasn't subject to those restrictions which many people might not want to agree to in principle.

Receiving permission from another country to enter a foreign country isn't protected by the 1st Amendment.

It's not interesting, right wingers are such dishonest hacks, this is all they do. Childish dumb one liners, zero intelligence, essentially just trolling

Tlaib and Omar vindictively put Israeli officials in a lose-lose situation. They are calculated provocateurs."

You need better sources than townhall.com, they're a right wing site that publishes such debunked right wing conspiracy theorists as Dennis Prager and Anne Coulter. Obviously they're going to agree with anything Trump says or does.

'Principles' I guess is a correct term to refer to the demonic and monstrous hatred for a country for its very existence.

Who is currently in control of the West Bank? Israel. Ergo by default they do have the right to say who comes and goes....

Your opinion that Israel shouldn't have such power is noted.

What difference does that make?

Canada's leadership doesn't support racism, so does that mean we should ban Trump just because he's a blatant racist?

Yes, it should not have much power on lands that are not part of Israel, and certainly should not have much power on American representatives when the Israeli settlements in the West Bank were built by US money too and Bibi comes to the House of representatives to ask for more US money.

Actively incited damage to the State of Israel is not merely a "difference of opinion". Now is it?

Israel is more than ready to relinquish it-- unfortunately the leadership of the new country is required to accept the existence of Israel which the Palestinian leadership has stubbornly refused to do so.

You’re fortunate that slander laws are so loose when it comes to public figures.

Irrelevant to the thread, and you know very well that this type of discussion cannot take place in this subforum. We have talked about the broader political picture in other threads. Here I am only talking about the power that Israel should or should not have with respect to letting official American representatives access the West Bank.

They have the legal right to ban anyone openly advocating damage to the state of Israel.

And why shouldn't they?

Israel doesnt have authority over diplomats alone travelling to the west bank-- but all people travelling there

They create "legal rights" in West Bank that violate UN resolutions...
Tlaib and any other respresentative (including from UN) should have unrestricted access to the West Bank.
