    This kind of oppression goes on in Islamic nations against 'infidels' every day, yet these two dingbat hypocrites are silent about it, and complain about the only spot of freedom in the ME, Israel.

    Just rebutting the idiotic position that Israel has no claim to that land. What about the other 9 points?

    'Large scale criminal behavior', LOL.....

    People will know that Tlaib was later offered a 'humanitarian visit to visit her Grandmother. They may not know that she refused it.

    Our ally is Israel, and Israel is flouting it's own membership in the UN and is carrying out a universially recognized humanitarian atrocity.

    How can we push for better rule in Syria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Russia, Congo, Venezuela or anywhere else when we work to extend humanitarian atrocity by Israel???

    Why wouldn't anyone in the entire ME laugh in our facees when we suggest following the rule of law, democracy, equality, religious heterogeneity, or anything else we think we should stand for???

    Is it any wonder that after the Egyptian revolution they cast aside ideas that simply LOOKED American, because of what we stood for in Egypt in specific and in the ME in general? And, that left too many horrible solutions, leading to the mess that followed. Our very presence was a negative!

    They know and WE know who the dingbat hypocrit is - it is our own country, America.

    Ethnic cleansing of an adjacent country isn't large scale???

    Bulldozing people's homes and orchards, stealing their water rights, ruling them by foreign military law in which they have zero representation, purposefully smashing their economy - that's not significant to you?

    Our forefathers carried out a revolution for FAR less than that.

    Were our forefathers guilty of overreacting to ticky tack fouls?

    Have you read our declaration of independence ... ever?

    You gave that offer of a visit importance by bringing it up.

    I'm just saying that it deserves ZERO recognition.

    Trump suggested that another country disrespect our congress!!! Netanyahu then did that.

    If you can point to an apology, that might be interesting.

    So, NOW you are pro LGBT equality, same sex marriage, individual choice in representing one's gender in documentation, age appropriate education, etc.!!!

    I'm impressed.

    But, what do you think comes first - the absolute requirements laid out in our declaration of independece, or sexual equality in that resulting country???

    What comes first, the war of existence waged by invaders who rule stolen land with foreign military law, or EEOC?

    You believe that the fact that this resulted in many sharing how their grandparents were harmed by 48 should not be recognised?
    I am aware of that.
    Why should I do that?

    Why would anybody EXPECT them to comment?

    Have they commented on the Latest Bigfoot Sighting?

    Totally LMAO at the notion that they should make any comment.

    The RW is really reaching for their latest rationale for faux outrage.

    And PJ Media is a complete joke.'
    '
    Oh, and back to the OP, Israel is within their rights (obviously).

    NOT a Good Look (but Bibi doesn't care as long as he can serve as Donny's Puppet).

    He is apparently expecting Trump to say yes to Israel's annexation of the entire West Bank. I do not think Netanyahu is the puppet.

    Good solid points.

    This offer of visitation brings to light a major issue when it comes to those Israel has locked up inside Gaza.

    The Israeli blockade of that country is an act of war that has continued for two solid decades with no willingness even to discuss an end. Plus, the travel blockade affecting even Palestinian leadership has serious ramifications on any kind of peace or justice in the region.

    Sorry for my earlier reaction, but I've heard to many propose that the offer of a vist showed the big heartenness of Netanyahu and papered over the insult to the congress of the USA by our own president. As you say, it actually points to the devestating conditions Netanyahu has perpetrated for two decades at least.

    AOC, Omar, Tlaib Silent as Palestine Outlaws LGBT Activity in West Bank
    [​IMG]


    Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) have remained silent after the Palestinian Authority banned LGBT activity in the West Bank.

    Early Monday morning, The Jerusalem Post reported that the PA and Palestine Police had outlawed LGBT activity in the West Bank and threatened to arrest members of the LGBT group Al-Qaws for Sexual & Gender Diversity in Palestinian Society. Al-Qaws was planning a gathering for members in Nablus at the end of the month. The group only has offices in Israel — in East Jerusalem and in Haifa.

    Luay Zreikat, a spokesman for Palestine Police, said LGBT activities are "harmful to the higher values and ideals of Palestinian society." He added that Al-Qaws's activities are completely "unrelated to religions and Palestinian traditions and customs, especially in the city of Nablus."

    Palestine Police will chase those behind Al-Qaws and bring them to trial once arrested, the PA police spokesman warned. He appealed to Palestinians to report any person connected to the group to police.

    "The Squad," notorious for their fast responses to President Donald Trump's attacks on Twitter, have remained silent so far about the Palestinian attack on Al-Qaws and LGBT activities.

    :bored:

    Is there an ECHO in here? :bored:

    You just posted the EXACT Same Thing in Post #559 (Above).

    Are you afraid that the SPAM (of the latest RW Marching Order) isn't getting enough attention? :roflol:

    Maybe you should post it a 3RD Time, just to be safe?

    Anyway, back to the Actual Thread TOPIC, this whole story is OLD News.

    They aren't going. End of Story.

    "Visitation" as in Tlaib visiting her grandmother?

    It's certainly a sad situation that the only way to get to Palestine is to first get to Israel. I can't see why Israel prevents people going to Palestine. I don't think that it should be too difficult to ensure that people reach the border and cross over. I can't understand why there can't be even a small domestic airport in Palestine. That way people could travel via Israel and take a transfer flight to Palestine without every having to leave transit and enter freely into Israel. I only discovered the other day that there is no airport in Palestine.

    How was the ban an "insult to Congress?"

    Trump suggested that Israel block the travel of US congressmen because he didn't like their ideas.

    We can work out our differences at home. Internationally, US congressmen are to be treated as US congressmen - regardless of whether the president likes their ideas.
