How humiliating for Tlaib... Netanyahu allows her to visit and she turns snowflake.
Lack of self control is a sad thing.
Who is currently in control of the West Bank?
Interesting how thin the support for the principle of 'free speech' is with some on the right wing. Her visit was contingent on her agreeing what not to say while on the trip. That's a legitimate requirement by Israel - their country, their rules - but you shouldn't pretend that the visit wasn't subject to those restrictions which many people might not want to agree to in principle.

Katie Pavlich: "As I've already written, the trip to Israel, which was listed as 'Palestine' on the itinerary, was a malicious setup from the beginning. Tlaib and Omar vindictively put Israeli officials in a lose-lose situation. They are calculated provocateurs." Dishonest PR Stunt: Tlaib Begged to Visit Elderly Grandmother, Only to Reject Israel’s Approval
Some people have principles so no.
That is exactly my point.
Israel should not be allowed to have THIS type of control that requires an American representative to ask Israel's permission to enter the Palestinian territories in the West Bank.
Who is currently in control of the West Bank? Israel. Ergo by default they do have the right to say who comes and goes....
I don’t know. Has Israel annexed anything today? Can people still randomly show up with a document dating to the Ottoman Empire and tell Arabs that their home is no loner theirs with Israeli guns at their disposal?

Your opinion that Israel shouldn't have such power is noted.
Tlaib is not the one banning someone because of a difference of opinion. Netanyahu is clearly the clown in this situation. Like I said, maybe he wants to claim Trump's title as worlds biggest Snowflake and Laughing Stock?
Complicity is worse.

It's not interesting, right wingers are such dishonest hacks, this is all they do. Childish dumb one liners, zero intelligence, essentially just trolling
Yes, it should not have much power on lands that are not part of Israel, and certainly should not have much power on American representatives when the Israeli settlements in the West Bank were built by US money too and Bibi comes to the House of representatives to ask for more US money.
Obviously when one has to make the decision between visiting your grandma and promoting the destruction of the Jewish state that decision is an hard one to make.
Israel is more than ready to relinquish it-- unfortunately the leadership of the new country is required to accept the existence of Israel which the Palestinian leadership has stubbornly refused to do so.
What difference does that make?
You’re fortunate that slander laws are so loose when it comes to public figures.
Irrelevant to the thread, and you know very well that this type of discussion cannot take place in this subform. We have talked about the broader political picture in other threads. Here I am only talking about the limits that Israel should have with respect to letting official American representatives access the West Bank.

They have the legal right to ban anyone openly advocating damage to the state of Israel.
And why shouldn't they?
They create "legal rights" in West Bank that violate UN resolutions...
Tlaib and any other respresentative (including from UN) should have unrestricted access to the West Bank.
