Was this part of the plan all along? After all, Tlaib and Omar set up the trip to ensure that they’d be barred.
“A fundraising email sent by Democracy for America, a far left political action committee, implores readers to ‘chip in whatever you can to stand with her and [Rep.] Ilhan [Omar (D., Minn.)] now as they continue to fight for justice for all.'”
Except Israelis.
“Tlaib, Omar Fundraise on Back of Canceled Israel Trip,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 19, 2019 4:47 PM
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) is fundraising off her aborted trip to Israel, just days after she refused an Israeli invitation permitting her to visit her ailing grandmother and, instead, shared an anti-Semitic cartoon about the Jewish state.
A fundraising email sent by Democracy for America, a far left political action committee, implores readers to “chip in whatever you can to stand with her and [Rep.] Ilhan [Omar (D., Minn.)] now as they continue to fight for justice for all.”
The fundraising plea, which includes a direct pitch from Tlaib, falsely states that the lawmakers “were banned from traveling to Israel and Palestine.” Israel granted Tlaib special permission to enter the country to visit her grandmother. Moreover, Palestine does not, in fact, exist.
“I’ve dealt with sexism, racism, and Islamophobia my entire life—so I knew that would continue if I pursued a high-profile public office and won. What I didn’t anticipate was for that discrimination to come from the President of the United States,” Tlaib writes in the fundraising email.
Tlaib also uses the email to bash Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
“It’s very telling when a so-called democratic ally bans elected members of Congress from visiting because of our political views and values,” the lawmaker writes. “It’s even more disturbing and completely unprecedented that our own president encouraged this undemocratic action. What is Netanyahu afraid that we will witness, that we will bring to light?”
“Not only am I heartbroken that I cannot meet the people of Israel and Palestine to witness their struggles firsthand, but I am heartbroken I can no longer visit my Palestinian grandmother, who just days ago was excited to decide which fig tree we’d pick from together,” Tlaib continues…

“Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, oceans all have different names, but they all contain water,” boxer Muhammad Ali once said. “So do religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different forms and times. It doesn’t matter if you’re a Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew. When you believe in God, you should believe that all people are part of one family.”
FYI says
muhammed ali seems to have miixed up al LAH his Arab god with the Actual God.
“All people are part of one family”
Not according to islam..
“Oh ye who believe!Take not the Jews and Christians for friends”
k5:51
{al lah doesn’t appear to know the 2nd chief commandment.Thus there is no “love thy neighbor” in islam.And there is No Golden Rule in islam:just muslims,the “best of people”k3:110 and the inferior ‘infidels’}
so,no,in islam All people are NOT a part of one family:infidels are not in the family.
“It doesn’t matter if you are a muslim,a Christian or Jew”
It DOES matter according to allah:k9:30,the koran CURSES Jews AND Christians.
Christians might say we are all God’s Children but we are clearly not all al LAH’s children!!
But then Ali didn’t get Irony:his “prophet” muhammed,after whom he called himself ,was slave trading Black Africans {sahih muslim 3901}
And for all his complaints about Whitey,it turns out that one of his ancestors was a WHITE Irish immigrant:Abe O’Grady
He was a great boxer though.

While it was convenient for him to pretend it was all ‘One family’, Islam, never ever taught this nor practiced it, except to dissaude other religions it was entering to look at what Islam brought to the table. Discrimination, bias, bigotry, separation, hatred, and mass murder. This is Islams legacy yesterday, and today, and everywhere it goes. This is the Jihad.

mgoldberg is correct … Islam does not contain the Golden Rule. Islam contains Islamic apartheid and supremacism … called ‘AL WALAA WAL BARAA’ in Arabic.

Muslims in the USA , duping Americans since Cassius Clay Jr X’ed his name.
==============================
For mourners, he was the Louisville Lip,
for American Muslims, Muhammad Ali was ‘gift from God’
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/06/06/world/mourners-louisville-lip-american-muslims-muhammad-ali-gift-god/#.XV2JVcpuif0
Ali’s father, Cassius Clay Sr., a painter, was a fixture at King Solomon before his death decades ago. He painted a mural of Jesus’ baptism that hangs still behind the pulpit. Jesus and John the Baptist stand waist deep in a lake, and a white dove hovers overhead.
Ali’s brother, Rahaman Ali, arrived just before the 11:30 service to join the mourners.
The Rev. Wanda McIntyre, who presided over the early service Sunday, said what she remembered most about Ali was that famous, dazzling smile. He came with his father to worship occasionally, even after he converted to the Islamic faith, she said. It reminded her that he believed above all in living life with tolerance and an open heart.
On Saturday, Russ Greenleaf had planned to go to his synagogue in Louisville. But the 59-year-old chose instead to attend a memorial service to Ali.
“I thought God wants me to be here,” he said. “This is the greater worship, really, to pay tribute to this great man.”
He stood in his Jewish prayer shawl and yarmulke to honor a Muslim who devoted his life to fairness for all colors and creeds.
At King Solomon, the Rev. Charles Elliott Jr. said he knew Ali for decades. He recalled once in the 1960s when he was trying to raise money to keep a program running to feed the city’s hungry, and Ali cut him a check.
The solace he found Sunday morning, he said, was that Ali’s suffering was finally over. He noted that Ali’s daughter said The Greatest’s heart kept beating a half-hour after the rest of his organs failed.
“He always did something nobody ever did,” Elliott said.
The death of the boxing great cost American Muslims perhaps their greatest hero, a goodwill ambassador for Islam in a country where their minority faith is widely misunderstood and mistrusted.
“We thank God for him,” Talib Shareef, president and imam of the Masjid Muhammad mosque in Washington, told a gathering of Muslim leaders who honored Ali in Washington on Saturday, a day after he died in a Phoenix hospital at age 74. “America should thank God for him. He was an American hero.”
From the turmoil of civil rights and black Muslim movements of the 1960s to the darkest days after Sept. 11, 2001, Ali was a hero that U.S. Muslims could share with part of the American mainstream.
Muslims remembered Ali for many familiar reasons, hailing him as a champion of social justice, a lifelong supporter of charitable works and an opponent of the U.S. war in Vietnam.
Also, they said, he was a Muslim that a largely Christian country came to admire, even if Ali shocked and scared much of U.S. society after he joined the Nation of Islam and changed his name from Cassius Clay in 1964.
“When we look at the history of the African-American community, one important factor in popularizing Islam in America is Muhammad Ali,” Warith Deen Mohammed II, son of the former Nation of Islam leader, said in a statement.
With some 3.3 million adherents in the United States, Muslims make up about 1 percent of the population, largely immigrants and African-Americans who have embraced the religion.
Although they have integrated into society better than some of their brethren in Europe, American Muslims face hardships even as the United State grows demographically less white and less Christian.
Since 2001, they have suffered a backlash from those Americans who equate all Muslims with those who have attacked civilians out of some jihadi cause.
Decades before, black Muslim leaders such as Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X rattled the white establishment as religious and ethnic minorities who demanded equality for their people.
Elijah Mohammad preached a version that denounced white oppression and opposed integration of the races.
Ali came to be widely revered, but there was a time when he was rejected, mostly by whites but also by some black leaders for his bold statements against white supremacy and for his refusal to embrace the model epitomized by Martin Luther King, a Christian.
“The sanitizing of Ali’s image in recent years has led many to forget that he was reviled by many during the 1960s for his conversion to Islam and for his refusal to be inducted into the U.S. armed forces,” said Frank Guridy, a visiting associate professor of history at Columbia University.
“He was seen as a traitor to the United States of America.”
In the 1970s, Ali converted to Sunni Islam, the largest denomination among Muslims worldwide, and embraced Sufism, a mystical school of the faith.
At the gathering of Muslim-American leaders in Washington, speaker after speaker remembered him fondly as the Muslim who Americans came to love.
Ali defended Muslims last December, after Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump proposed temporarily stopping Muslims from entering the country in the wake of Islamist militant attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, California.
“Our political leaders should use their position to bring understanding about the religion of Islam, and clarify that these misguided murderers have perverted people’s views on what Islam really is,” Ali said in a statement.
He also used his influence to advocate the release of Jason Rezaian, a Washington Post reporter who spent 18 months in a Iranian prison, and for Daniel Pearl, a Wall Street Journal reporter who was captured by Islamic extremists in Pakistan and later beheaded in 2002.
“Muhammad Ali was a gift from God,” said Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, “not only to Muslims but to the world.”

If granny dies soon, they’d blame that on Trump as well as anything else!

She has not visited “granny” in 13 years(she waited until elected into office to visit na na?) ,she could visit her with Israel permission but not meet with known terrorist and terrorist supporters .She rejected the deal ,her grand mother seems as lovable as her wishing death or great misfortune to president Trump. To be 90 years old still filled with hate for the unbelievers she will soon be one of the 72 raisins the Jihad sees when he walks up in hell after blowing himself up for allah the moon god.

Ali stated:
“War is against the teachings of the Qur’an. I’m not trying to dodge the draft. We are not supposed to take part in no wars unless declared by Allah or The Messenger. We don’t take part in Christian wars or wars of any unbelievers.”
Recalling Ali’s anti-war position, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar said: “I remember the teachers at my high school didn’t like Ali because he was so anti-establishment and he kind of thumbed his nose at authority and got away with it. The fact that he was proud to be a black man and that he had so much talent … made some people think that he was dangerous. But for those very reasons I enjoyed him.”
Not afraid to antagonize the white establishment, Ali stated, “I am America. I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me. Black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own; get used to me.”
“We who follow the teachings of Elijah Muhammad don’t want to be forced to integrate. Integration is wrong. We don’t want to live with the white man; that’s all.”
After the September 11 attacks in 2001, he stated that “Islam is a religion of peace” and “does not promote terrorism or killing people”, and that he was “angry that the world sees a certain group of Islam followers who caused this destruction, but they are not real Muslims. They are racist fanatics who call themselves Muslims.”
In December 2015, he stated that “True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so-called Islamic jihadists goes against the very tenets of our religion”, that “We as Muslims have to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda”, and that “political leaders should use their position to bring understanding about the religion of Islam, and clarify that these misguided murderers have perverted people’s views on what Islam really is.”

and just try to quote their prophet Mohammeds own words, again and again calling for and demanding the submission of all others and if that fails, the deaths of others. Go ahead, just try to and quote any of that and any of that history all of it, then or now…. you will be eviscerated, and fatwas await….. Lying about all others and lying about themselves is what Islam is all about.

Very funny.
It may be all about the benjamins right now but that will not last. In America, regarding the left and the non left, the general rule or belief used to be, we may disagree but when all is said and done we are all Americans. That belief or rule no longer applies. The left and the non left in America are at last dividing in to separate and opposing camps.The American left has long ago divided in to separate and opposing camps in a loose and fragile coalition of aggrieved and marginalized sub groups.
In this quest, by any means necessary, the left in America is willing to sew the wind, they are similar to a child playing with fire in a dry forest. We all know which group will rise to the top of the leftist heap and take control imposing their rules upon all the other sub groups. That of course will be the meanest and nastiest group within the coalition and we all know who that is. At some point the left will howl for the non left to pull them out of their self inflicted bonfire.
I firmly oppose any effort by the non left to come to their aid. In my opinion any relief would just be kicking the can down the road to future generations and that is nor fair or right. Even if rescued from their own suicidal quest the left will always re-emerge, the left will never change. Regardless of geography the non left in America must unite and organize preparing for that day that will surely come lest we too are consumed by the leftist bonfire. This has been written in regards to America but the same applies across the board to all of western civilization, it is only a matter of time.

Representative Pete King (R-N.Y.) became the first Republican to join 202 Democrats in cosponsoring H.R. 1296, the Assault Weapons Ban of 2019.
King is no stranger to readers of The New American. An article posted by this magazine in February explored King’s odd reference to the constitutionalist John Birch Society, with which The New American is affiliated.
When he was asked what was taking so long for the Democrat Party leadership to condemn comments made by Representative Ilhan Omar that were widely condemned as anti-Semitic, King offered a bizarre explanation: “And just like years ago, conservatives had to stand up to elements of the John Birch Society, it is important now that the Democratic leadership come forward and denounce this wing of the party and people from it who carry on with this sort of anti-Semitic language.”
Associating The John Birch Society with Omar’s comments was groundless, since the Society has always condemned anti-Semitism.

You right wing lunatics are indeed amazing. You fall over each othet about Israel while the gate you have for Jews is unmatchable.

“gate”? I assume you mean hate? If so, sorry to burst your bubble but the only unmatchable hate for Jews is the islamic one. Think about it, numbnuts: you claim we fall over each other regarding Israel, a Jewish state, while insisting we hate Jews. That’s the problem with morons like you: you already have us labelled as “right wing lunatics” and therefore you assume we hate Jews. Now,a reasonable, working mind would think “is these people love Israel then they can’t hate Jews”. Not you though.

……………………
Opposing the horrors of Jihad makes us “right wing lunatics”? I suppose as Hassan Noor would have it the ‘filthy Infidels’ should *want* to be conquered and murdered by pious Muslims. No thank you.
And how is supporting the civilized democratic state of Israel indicative of “gate” (does the semi-literate Hassan Noor mean “hate”? One supposes so) towards Jews? Of course, it does not.
What Noor is trying to do here is false logic–the claim that if you oppose Jihad terror that you must be “right wing”, and that if you are right wing then you must hate Jews. By this “logic”, the only people who don’t “gate” Jews are the ones who want to see them all murdered by Jihadists.
There is no hatred of Jews above. There is plenty in Islam, though, including calls for genocide. Does Hassan Noor have a problem with this? Not so he says.
