1. Mission: Undermine Trump
(08.15.19)
Their mission in Israel was clear. They weren't looking to gather facts because they are convinced they know all there is to know. They wanted to support the Palestinian "resistance," those Palestinians who have shoved perpetual war with Israel down the throats of other Palestinians. They wanted to make it more difficult for ordinary Palestinians to consider Trump's peace plan. So this was a mission that aimed at interfering with Israeli domestic politics and, most importantly, undermining Trump. It was wrong on all counts.
2. Why did this take so long?
David ,   New York   (08.15.19)
Sounds kinda obvious that you don’t let your enemies come into your country to cause trouble.
Did I miss something?
3. About time Israeli govt showed some self respect!
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.15.19)
As a sincere friend of Israel, Trump strongly advised Israel not to allow Jew hating Congresswomen Tlaib and Omar into our nation. Trump correctly observed that to do so would show "great weakness".

Without Trump's warning, Bibi may well have caved in, and allowed the abomination of their visit. But I am so grateful to see the Israeli government FINALLY show a little self respect that I won't ask any questions. It is notable that the Democrats, like always, were totally on the wrong side of the issue.
4. what is Netanyahu afraid of?
(08.15.19)
5. Wise decision
Gene   (08.15.19)
I think this settles the question to whom Jerusalem belongs.
6. pathetic
New Yorker ,   NYC   (08.15.19)
Israel, a sovereign state, is free to decide who can come in and who cannot, but we are dealing with US government elected officials, elected by their own constituencies like it or not. That they are being actively persecuted by their own government is pathetic enough, but to acquiesce to the likes of Trump, calling it "weak" to let them in, is itself a demonstration of profound weakness and only shows how Netanyahu is so beholding to that buffoon. Well finally the dog is wagging the tail.
7. The correct act by Israel, an act of self-defense.
Michael ,   California, USA   (08.15.19)
These two women don’t represent public opinions in the USA
and don’t support Israel as independent international entity. No
need to admit stirrers of unrest. Banning the two was correct.
8. Israel doesnt give its left cheak and is right to do so !
Pete Townsend ,   Detroit   (08.15.19)
Peter Townsend
As a jew , try to visit Syria, or Iran or Gaza...y'l be jailed, tortured and killed...so they can stay in Washington.
So come on, we won't cry for them.
They could have been accepted in if they had accepted to visit Ashkelon, Tel Aviv, Sderot , Metula, En Gev...to understand what is Israel and under which threats their civiians are living...but they care about that as much as their first burka....
9. Yeahhh!!!!! Israel did it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (08.15.19)
This decision is 100% right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10. what an ass-kisser
mark   (08.15.19)
It was very predictable that netanyahu would bow before trump and follow his orders. trump says don't let Tlaib and omar visit ramallah so bibi kisses his ass and says yes sir. why is this dangerous for Israel?

There are times when Israel will differ from trump on borders, on proposed concessions. so bibi would simply say I had to follow trump. He doesn;t have the fortitude to tell trump no.

as for tlaib and omar, even though they are biased right from the start, it would be ok to let th- so they should meet with barkat.

bibi obeyed trump reflexively.

Don't waste your vote on him. Vote for a real security leader-Bennett, shaked.

Bibi bellows out help, help, save me as if he is still drowning. What a weakling!
11. Who you let in the door is your call
Cameron   (08.15.19)
No problem at all with seeing that poison pair thwarted & pissed on.
12. Old farts in the Democratic party are scared of the new ones
Sam ,   Montreal   (08.15.19)
The once moderate Democratic party has taken a far turn left and Israel should be suspicious of them and their intent.
13. No thanks to our spineless Bibi!!!!! Go Donald!!!!!!!
(08.15.19)
14. Shouldn’t be let into America also
David ,   New york   (08.16.19)
They hate America
Hate the Jews
And hate Israel
15. GOOD CALL by Israel. And I've never been a BB fan.
Rafi ,   US   (08.16.19)
These two snakes were up to no good...
16. Inexcusable act of cowardice on Bibi's part, that took Trump
(08.16.19)
to correct.
Listen people:
I am a die hard Likud-voter.
Not anymore.
How about all of us, come election day, vote Mrs. Shaked & her party?
We cannot go wrong!
Do you think she'll make lesser speeches at the UN?
Besides her obvious talents she's easy on the eyes and in our world it's a clear cut advantage when being in public (or private) domain.
17. The squad are racist Jew haters y does ynet pretend otherwis
(08.16.19)
Posting Reuters articles with clear hostility towards Israel and with much ignorance and arrogance on the subject.

Bds is anti Palestinian
Land is disputed
They planned a temple mount tour with Palestinian officials
They planned to meet terrorists
They are the rascists, anti white, and Jewish, supporters of terror against civilians, EVIL.

Trump attacks them because they are evil, support evil, encourage terrorism with antifa. 3 antifa terror attacks in the USA in the past month

Shame on ynet for spreading such lies and hate.
