So Tlaib & Omar 1) support an org whose mission is the destruction of the Jewish state; 2) were going on a trip funded by a group that shares that mission; 3) called the entire place 'Palestine,' erasing Israel. Bibi should've let them in but let's have an honest discussion here.
How many reporters asked Tlaib and Omar: "You're going on a trip that denies Israel's existence funded by an org that denies Israel's right to exist, which you also advocate. Why?"
Holy s**t. The org sponsoring Tlaib and Omar's trip pushes the "blood matzah" literal blood libel
I mean you have to be truly dedicated to be this much of an antisemite.

Say it with me everyone:
The antisemitism is the point.

Ugh, this thread
As I said earlier, the move to bar them from coming to Israel will widen the rift between Israel and Democrats. But for Democrats: Look at this sponsoring org and the itinerary and ask yourselves what you're doing to prevent the separation being carried out by Omar & Tlaib.
"Nazis are bad unless they're funding an Israel-does-not-exist trip by antisemitic congresswomen" is really a hell of a standard everyone.
One reason you won’t see coverage of the org funding Tlaib and Omar’s trip is that it’ll undermine the narrative that this is about “criticism of Israeli policy.” And it’ll show the true face of BDS—blood libels, Nazi screeds, celebration of terrorists.
In no other situation would the equivalent *not* be treated as a major scandal. But ask yourself how many journalists and commentators and diplomats you’ve seen today even mention it. Count em. That’s how many intellectually honest ppl in the industry.
It’s not a lot, is it?

I want to be fair, so please send me links to any Democrats, journalists, and Obama-era diplomats who condemned:
1. Omar & Tlaib going with a pro-neo-Nazi group that pushed “blood matzah” libel.
2. Ted Lieu accusing the Jewish US ambassador of being loyal to Israel not the US.

I assume there have to be some. I can’t imagine the entire Democratic Party is comfortable with this level of antisemitism from three of their high profile members of Congress. So again, please send my way. Even a glimmer of hope is better than nothing.
This comes on the heels of the Sharpton stuff. There’s gotta be one person—one!—uncomfortable with the party’s direction. Send them my way please.
