Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

AFDI Applauds the Banning of Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar from Israel

Aug 18, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

NEW YORK, August 15, 2019: The American Freedom of Defense Initiative (AFDI), one of the leading human rights organizations in the United States, on Thursday applauded the Israeli government’s decision to ban Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) from entering the country.

The Israeli government announced that Tlaib and Omar would be banned due to “suspected provocations and promotion” of the neo-Nazi Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

AFDI President Pamela Geller said in a statement: “There is no doubt that Omar and Tlaib would promote BDS in Israel. These two vicious antisemites have repeatedly called for a boycott of the Jewish state. Why would Israel welcome them? They would spread Palestinian jihad propaganda. Israel is under no obligation to admit people who are dedicated to its destruction, and who would work to weaken the Jewish state.”

Geller added: “Tlaib and Omar would surely post lies and blood libels about the Jewish state on social media, for the purpose of increasing the popularity of the BDS Movement in the United States. Such posts would also endanger pro-Israel American Jews, particularly on college campuses. Why should the Israeli government allow these two neo-Nazi thugs to slander Israel and the Jewish people? Nothing positive can be achieved from such a propaganda trip. Accordingly, AFDI applauds the Israeli government’s decision.”

The AFDI President also criticized the Jewish Democrats who are criticizing Israel for banning Tlaib and Omar, stating: “This is why the BDS Movement is spreading. This is why the Democrat Party has become anti-Israel. It is because Jewish organizations in the United States are incompetent cowards, and don’t know how to fight a war. Let these Jewish Democrats visit a college campus where the BDS Movement thrives. Let them ask the Jewish students who are being terrorized on campus by members of the BDS Movement, if they think that it is a bad idea for Israel to ban Tlaib and Omar from entering Israel.”

AFDI is dedicated to the defense and strengthening of the freedom of speech, the freedom of conscience, the equality of rights of all people before the law, and individual rights.

    [this is why the Democratic party is anti-Israel]

    Tlaib and Omar need to know this is what you get when you vote in hate filled muslims who want to take over the world. Voters need to know that this is what you get when you want to show how politically correct you are because you could vote in even a muslim to office. There is no assimilation from muslims they hate the West and all that we represent. The sooner we wake up to that fact the better it will be. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through Him. Muhammad is the anti-Christ and allah is a false god.

      Paul 316,

      I am a Christian – and your post applies to me – being in full agreement.

      That being said, one does not have to be a Christian as long as that person holds “Judeo-Christian values”, i.e., believes in the Golden rule, in order to successfully assimilate into a Western democracy.

      I’ve known some very wonderful agnostics and atheists who believe in the Golden rule – and a devout Muslim does not.

      God bless.

      Not all Democrats are anti-Israel–but these two Muslim thugs certainly are.

    Tlaib asked for permission on th grounds of visiting family, She said she wouldn’t promote BDS and would respect whatever terms Israel asked of her. When she was allowed, she backpedalled and said Israel’s conditions were “racist” and “oppressive”.

    It was a set-up from the get-go.

      Deception is an Ishmaelite’s trait.

        Summarized history of Ishmael (ancestor of Arab tribes):

        Father: Abraham (regarded as the first Jew, who conceived the concept of “One God)
        Mother; Hagar an EGYPTIAN handmaiden – Second Wife.
        Step mother: Sarai (or Sarah) a JEWESS married to Abraham (Chief wife).

        If one accepts maternity of Ishmael – he would be considered EGYPTIAN
        If one accepts paternity of Ishmael – he would be considered JEWISH

        After Ishmael was banished from Abraham’s tent, he together with his Egyptian mother Hagar found their way to Paran where he (Ishmael) married a ‘WIFE OUT OF EGYPT”

        If one accepts maternity of Ishmael – he would be considered EGYPTIAN
        If one accepts paternity of Ishmael – he would be considered JEWISH
        If one accepts the paternity of Ishmael’s descendants, they would be considered EGYPTIAN
        If one accepts the maternity of Ishmael’s descendants, they would be considered EGYPTIAN
        Genealogy of ISHMAEL THE FATHER OF EGYPTIAN DESCENDANTS

      Angemon,

      She was playing a chess game with Israel and vastly underestimated her opponent.

      Checkmate.

    What must al LAH,omar’s pagan Arab god think about her?

    Well,she will never,ever, be equal to a muslim man k2:282.
    You would need two ilhan omars to equal one muslim man as allah insists the testimony of a muslima is HALF that of man.
    A woman in islam is not equal to a man.

    That’s something for lefty feminists to chew on.

    What would muhammed{APFh,allah prays for him},a polygamous man with a 9 year old wife who,according to Linda Sarsour,was a feminist,what would he think of omar?

    He would think she has a “deficiency of the mind”,the reason muhammed gave as to why the koran says a woman’s value is half that of a man.

    islam:the religion for women?
    And such lovely stylish hijabs they have these days{umar and muhammed,the ones who actually came up with the idea:how they would laugh..}

    I have a question for the people in Congress who denounced the banning if they thought that the U. S. would have permitted anyone from the Japanese or Third Reich to visit during the war? Of course not and why should the Jewish State of Israel permit anyone who has avowed to do everything in their power to destroy them. Tlaib doesn’t even show the existence of Israel on the map in her office and I do not believe that PM Netanyahu would be allowed to visit Pakistan or Iran. The Israeli PM has even offered Iran assistance to overcome it water shortage.

    I hope these two anti-Semitic ,anti-American ,Christian hating bigots get booted out of congress in the next election they face. If they are the “fresh faces” of the” new progress” democrats the party has lost their collective minds not coming out against them. Israel can ban and should ban violent hate peddling people even elected “officials” of the American congress.

    So do I…

    We must stop importing this sort of ‘TRASH’ into OUR country.. And, if IT speaks of sedition, then charge them with SEDITION.

      You’re lucky. In the UK, the crime of sedition has been abolished.
