Like most analogies, this one doesn't mean much.

All this sound and fury is proving to helpful to Trump as it's keeping people from paying much attention to the idiotic things he said at his New Hampshire rally.

Trump says idiotic things every single day and nobody cares. It's called mithridatism.

Israel made a mistake in handing a PR coup to the anti-semites.  They should have been allowed to visit and expose themselves for the bigots that they are.

Agreed. But it is worth noting that all they did was decline to offer an exemption to a law that has blocked hundreds of BDS activists from entering. Claiming that they're doing something new to target Omar and Tlaib based on their color, as many people are doing, is blatantly false.

The likes of James Trafficant never wanted to visit Israel, so there's no real point to compare.

When Israel bans you from entry, you know you are doing something right.

Not a good look to ban both Muslim women to ever have served in the US Congress. It's time to stop giving Likud billions of dollars a year.
Anti-semetic post. You should know that it's anti-semetic to criticize Israel or even America's unwavering support of Israel.

Here is a simple “yes” or “no” question: Do you think it’s anti-Semitic to claim Jews use the blood of Christian children to make Matzah on Passover?

Good.  That puts you ahead of Omar and Tlaib.

They made a point of specifically trying to go on a trip to Israel sponsored by a group making this claim and have refused to condemn it when pressed by reporters.

Maybe because the group apoligized and retracted that article 6 years ago, and these congresswomen are safer with some sort if delegatiom instead of just showing up by themselves with no local support? They're not a violent group, actually their leader os a peace negotiator. I don't like this group based on what I'm reading, but they are tolerable and acceltable in this context to me. Ideally they find another group that is also non-violent and also ran by a peace keeper without the baggage. Like I said, that was 6 years ago and apologies and retractions were made. Trump and Netanyahu don't apologize for or detract anything.

Imagine Obama or W. picking up fights with backbenchers and then asking from foreign leaders to ban them from their countries. This guy gives pathetic a new meaning.

Lmao: Tlaib doesn't want to come after all. Apparently not as interested in her grandmother as in boycotting Israel.



ok David B.....

So let's hypothetically say she simply wants to visit her Grandmother in the West Bank.

Where does she fly into other than Israel?

How else do you get there without flying into Syria, which is in a state of Civil War as we all know, or possibly Jordan....

Reality is that the Israeli Government essentially completely controls access to the West Bank, and under the Right-Wing Government Coalitions of Israel in recent years have weaponized access controls, to the point where foreign labor within the Israeli agricultural sector is increasingly Asian Labor, rather than Palestinian Labor.

That being said, as part of her visit to the region she was scheduled to meet with Arab-Israeli members of the Knesset along with Jewish-Israeli members of the Knesset.

Sounds to me like Netanyahu בנג'מין נתניהו is simply trying to create a fake issue to combat his decline of approvals and support among his minority coalition government ahead of the 9/17/19 Knesset Elections, where doing a cheap political stunt like this might help bank him support....

She's allowed to visit Israel. She was personally granted a humanitarian visa by the Travel Minister to visit her grandmother. She then rejected it because she wouldn't be allowed to use her trip to promote BDS.

She was wise to reject it. Who knows if Netanyahu was arranging some sort of "accident" that Trump cooked up. If people don't want you some place you best not go.

Anyway, looks like the mask is fully off.



Tlaib and Omar both have it as the lead "Story" when you click on their profile picture. It disappears in two hours, so check if you want to see it.

I see an Israeli flag and four typical political cartoon figures.

You're not well, Ray.

The Star Of David is representative of both jews AND Israel, also Trump isn't jewish so the star in this context probably means Israel. COULD it be anti-semetic? Yes. Is it actually? Probably not and not proveable in the small chance that it is.

Do you check under your bed for nazis before you go to sleep?

So, three people in a row all pretending like Carlos Latuff isn't well known to be wildly antisemitic and using a cartoon by him isn't so much a dogwhistle as a bullhorn. 'kay.

The Stephen Roth institute and Wiesenthal Center don't have a monopoly on defining antisemitism. Many other Jews and Jewish publications have also expressed the opinion that he is not. 'kay.

"We can not allow nazis to use dignified Palestinian cause as a platform to launch racial hatred. I beg you all to reproduce this cartoon all over Internet. Let's say louder that we are fighting against those racist Jews who deny human rights to Palestinians, AS WELL AS racists who deny human rights to Jews."—Carlos Latuff

It's actually kind of amazing how stupid they are. They were winning this argument pretty handily thanks to Trump's bumbling, so what do they do? Post a cartoon by the editorial cartoonist of Der Sturmer 2019.

Antisemitism is trying to boil us alive like frogs in a pot, and these two braintrusts are screaming "This is taking too long! Turn up the heat!", letting the frog jump out.
