Keeping Tlaib and Omar out of Israel is the right thing to do

Following the news that Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar would be "visiting" Israel this month, the Israeli government initially considered allowing them to enter, but now, they've wisely decided against it:
Definitely correct. Keeping Omar and Tlaib away from Israel is for the best. But, we have to hope the majority of Michigan and Minnesota voters won't be fooled by those two again, and will avoid casting ballots for them in the next Congressional election.
Israel is to bar US Democratic congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib from entering the country over their support for the BDS boycott movement.The reason it's best not to allow them entry is because they could possibly incite violence and other bad news that Israel could do without. There can be no doubt the two of them would meet with terrorist conductors like Mahmoud Abbas and also the Hamas, and that too can be dangerous. Donald Trump himself urged Israel not to grant them entry:
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the move, which reversed an earlier pledge to permit entry to the politicians, on Thursday afternoon.
“Israel's law prohibits the entry of people who call and operate to boycott Israel, as is the case with other democracies that prevent the entry of people whose perception harms the country,” he said in a statement.
“Only a few days ago, we received their [Ilhan Olmar and Rashida Tlaib] visitation plan, and it became clear that they were planning a campaign whose sole purpose was to strengthen the boycott and negate Israel's legitimacy.”
David Friedman, the US ambassador in Israel, welcomed the decision.
“This trip, pure and simple, is nothing more than an effort to fuel the BDS engine that Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar so vigorously support.”
It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep.Tlaib to visit. They hate Israel & all Jewish people, & there is nothing that can be said or done to change their minds. Minnesota and Michigan will have a hard time putting them back in office. They are a disgrace!

Andrés Spokoiny
(CEO of Jewish Funders Network) said:
“As a community, we are mostly Jewishly
illiterate, and we maintain few
specifically Jewish practices.
When we engage in social causes and
call it Tikkun Olam, we often
use that term to invoke Jewish
values and concepts without ever
quite exploring them.”

of modern, liberal discourse, even
though its popularized connotation has
little to do with its traditional meaning.”

===================================
“Tikkun Olam” has, in recent years,
become the buzz phrase of American Jewish
progressives.
“Let us take care of the poor and downtrodden,”
proponents say, “whether they are in our
backyard or anywhere around the world —
for that is what the Torah wants us to do.”
To the advocates of “tikkun olam,”
this Hebrew phrase has come to mean
“healing the world.”
But if you read the actual text,
you’ll see that the phrase means
ensuring that the execution of law
does not result in a disintegration
of society. And in Jewish mystical texts,
the phrase connotes a reconciliation
between the spiritual and material worlds.

Evelyn Gordon
(a journalist living in Israel) said:
...Jewish Leftists have spent decades
trying to conflate tikkun olam
with a particular set of Progressive
policies, such that anyone opposing
those policies ipso facto
opposes tikkun olam.
And as evidenced by that speaker’s
choice of words, they have succeeded:
Even their Jewish opponents now view
tikkun olam as a
“Leftist Progressive ideology.”
But by appropriating tikkun olam
as their own exclusive property, Leftists
have discredited the entire concept...
