This is what crocodile tears looks like |
"Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us." -- Golda MeirIsrael's Foreign Minister Ayre Deri didn't allow Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) to get away with her political ploy on Friday after she was offered a special waiver to visit her grandmother in the West Bank but turned it down in the pretense that it was never issued.
Deri made the “final decision” to block Tlaib, along with her fellow anti-Semite Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from visiting the Jewish state over their advocacy of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. This is a movement which seeks to politically and economically starve Israel over its alleged treatment of Palestinians and it is, by clear definition, anti-Semitic as it singles out only Israel.
The Israeli Knesset enacted anti-BDS legislation in 2017 that blocks foreign activists from gaining entry to the country; Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cited the law when he announced the country’s decision, and any democracy like Israel and the US would have similar laws.
“No country in the world respects America and the American Congress more than the State of Israel,” Netanyahu said in a statement. “As a free and vibrant democracy, Israel is open to critics and criticism with one exception: Israeli law prohibits the entry into Israel of those who call for and work to impose boycotts on Israel, as do other democracies that prohibit the entry of people who seek to harm the country.”
Netanyahu further explained that the decision was made after the Israeli government received a copy of the Tlaib and Omar itinerary, which illustrated that the trip’s “sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us” in an attempt “deny Israel’s legitimacy.”
However, following Israel’s decision to bar the anti-Zionist tag-team, Tlaib followed up with a special humanitarian request to gain entry into the country in order to see her grandmother who lives in the West Bank--she was calling Israel's bluff.
And that's where she screwed up.
In a letter to Deri, the Michigan congresswoman stated the importance of visiting her aging grandmother and pledged not to promote any boycotts against Israel during her trip.
Surprise! Deri granted her request, but Tlaib took to Twitter to announce that she would be abstaining from visiting the country and her aging grandmother due to Israel’s “oppressive [and] racist policies.”
She would rather her granny die than to give Israel the credit of their humanity.
So she lied: “Silencing me [and] treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me,” Tlaib said referring to her grandmother. “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 [and] injustice,” she lied.
Deri fired back at Tlaib, stating that she hates the Jewish state even more than she loves a member of her own family, based on the facts [which is the same as truth, Joe Biden].
“Rep. Tlaib just tweeted that she won’t be coming to Israel,” Deri explained. “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.’”
“I approved her request as a gesture of good will on a humanitarian basis, but it was just a provocative request aimed at bashing the State of Israel,” he continued. “Apparently her hate for Israel overcomes her love for her grandmother.”
Tlaib followed up with a press release accusing the Israeli government of using her “love and desire to see [her] grandmother” as a tool to silence her, which she further compared to the “racist treatment that many Palestinian Americans endure” from Israel.
Of course this is another lie and a shameful way to use her grandmother to make political points with her fellow anti-Semites whose prejudice against Israel and the Jews is written in stone.
Peace will come when the world becomes sick and tired of the real hatred that exists; not the invented lies of the media and politicians.
