Title: Israel bars Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from visiting
Post by: Nearly Sane on August 16, 2019, 10:29:27 AM

I think the wrong decision from Israel. This as with a lot of politics just now feels like people have given up trying to lead and are just happy to be able to win a 50%+1vote to carry out what they want.

I too think they shouldn’t have banned these two Congresswomen but I understand why they have. They are calling for the annihilation of the State of Israel.

Are they? You'd think someone - like them, maybe - would have mentioned that.  I was under the impression they were in favour of the two state solution in which, if I recall correctly, one of the two states is Israel...

O.

Oops. You are right. I'll have to try to figure out where I got the idea she supports a one state solution.
